    Footwear for Yvonne

    Just working on some customs and trying to figure out what to order.

    How well do Doc Mego or CTVT black boots fit on Yvonne's feet?

    Well, I know that the old Dinah boots fit her. Her feet are a teensy bit wider than Dinah's so you might have to use a hair dryer to make the expand a bit.

    However, the Castaway silicone boots, while a smidge big, fit GREAT!

      I have some boots that fit great, but I can't take them off without the foot staying in the boot.

        That CAN be a bit problematic. Get a pair of needle nosed pliers and pull them out. Or, heat the boot up with the hair dryer and let them fall out.

        I'm just hoping that Craig eventually comes out with some properly fitting footwear.

          thanks for the pointers guys.

          Anyone have any pics showing what these female CTVT heads look like on the Yvonne body? Do they fit onto the Yvonne body easily?

            I suggest using a metal file to trim down the feet so that they fit into boots/shoes that are currently available.

            The neck design on the Yvonne figure is completely different than the one on a MEGO female body. I doubt the heads you have pictured, or any other MEGO heads would work.

              How about some good sources in general for female shoes other than hero style boots!?!

              I find the choices so limited in making customs of non-super hero characters. Any new leads or perhaps an old thread to consult? Any Breyer recommendations?

                Unfortunately I don't think you're going to find an easy solution for that in this particular scale. Clothing isn't too difficult but finding variety in the footwear department could be a challenge.

                  Breyer boots do NOT fit Yvonne's feet.

                  She can only wear them if you remove the feet entirely.

                  Use barbie sneakers.

                    I agree on the Breyer boots, feet go in but don't come out! I resorted to removing the feet and using boots without them for now.
