Paw Fashion 17: 'Eirok' boot
Here's another one! I've still got a few designs left in me. I thought it would be fun to take a few of the ideas that seem to have gone over well recently and apply them selfishly to a new boot design with myself in mind. This one has a number of traits that suit my own preferences particularly well; the leather is quite soft and comfortable with just a little bit of wrinkle to it, while still hugging the paw and leg tightly enough for a nice fit... I really like buckles, but there's an inside zipper for easy on and off too... the sole has a light, slightly rugged tread for grip but is thin enough that you can still feel what you're walking on. I went with the same idea seen previously in the London boot and Idrin sandal, of the full sole that keeps the toes cushioned and protected, but leaves the tops of the toes open for comfort and display. I'm deciding it's a balance I quite like, and some of you dear viewers have seemed to agree. :) I gave this boot some blue piping to help personalize it for myself too, though obviously that trim could come in just about any color that one might prefer.
I think this is a pair of boots that an anthro Dorey would probably be seen wearing fairly often, definitely a favorite of mine. They're one of the pairs I'd gravitate toward if I were going to go on a stompy rampage too, I think. To this end however I will note that I am a very friendly and gentle dragon, so the only victims of stompy Doran rampages tend to usually be dry leaves in the autumn and empty milk cartons being squished for recycling.

I rather like these as well. Perhaps more then the others.
As for.'kind and gentle' we'll work that out of you soon enough. It starts with you gently tucking a tiny willingtiger micro under your toes while wearing this kind of boot. Keeping it safe, warm, and buried by dragon...
Next thing ya know your seeing how well you can feel a city bus crumbling under those flexible soles. >:3

Glad I could be of help! :) I'm a fan of stylish footwear.
I thought for a moment about suggesting something simpler, like a simple flipflop. But I don't think that'd work well with a digitgrade design. A plantigrade flop would just have a lot of 'dead weight' hanging under your heel.
How about a Roman style sandal instead?
Or another barepawed version with decoration. Toe ring or two and an appropriate anklet of sorts.
Or 'brawler' style gauze foot wraps.

All valid options I'll have to keep in mind! I've thoguht about doing a strappy Roman sorta sandal already so that might happen soon. And yeah, something too flip-floppish seems like it'd just flap around and make you trip over them. And at least for my own preferences, which I was kind of going for with this design, I tend to prefer taller, more boot-like footwear. ^^
I'm very glad you like them! I thought it'd be fun to focus on a design that I really made for myself, but it's great if I'm not the only one who likes them. I really like the balance they came out with between being a bit lightweight and open, while still being tall and substantial feeling too. ^^ They're a pair I wouldn't wanna take off anytime soon!
*giggles* After the more feminine bright pink insole I gave the London boot I decided I liked the idea, so I thought a sorta dusky blue would be a good choice for my own boot, a bit more subdued and masculine but still sorta fun and different. ^^ I'm glad you like it too!
And dewclaws are awesome. They need more love. ^..^
