Major Snag

I have hit a major setback. I cannot proceed any further until I rig a better set of gorilla boots. The ones I sculpted a few weeks ago do not look great on the ape soldier when he is astride the horse. I am unable to create the stirrups because the sculpted boots are too large and unwieldy, and will not give the proper measurement for a good pair of stirrups.

I am currently trying to shape an appropriate boot with a bit of thin black leather, but the going is rough. I do not have a shape with which to stretch the wet leather on, so creating some toe dents on the boots are proving to be difficult. The size of the boots are so very tiny that I am not sure if I can sew the leather and then turn it inside out without breaking it. It looks like I will have to glue the pieces together.
