Hoof Shoe: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/fashion/hoof-shoe
Detachable Heel: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/fashion/detachable-heel-for-hoof-shoes
Hoof Shoe that can be scaled to fit your feet. Made these for my feet, 10" (25.4cm) from back of heel to tip of toe while standing. I included a printable skeleton that can be used to verify the size before printing the full thing.
Printing scale = Your foot length/10"(25.4cm)
example: if your foot measures 8.5" from back of heel to toe tip then 8.5/10 = 0.85 or print at scale 85%
Then print the skeleton to verify
Two models each with and without supports. One with and one without a sew strip on top.
You can use leather and cord to tie them to your feet or I found gluing a cheap flat/flexible sole works good too
If using the glue in shoe:
I found the cheaper flat soled shoes work better because the epoxy bonds to the cheaper out soles better than higher grade shoe
VERY IMPORTANT YOU HAVE TO BE WEARING AND STANDING IN THE HOOF SHOES WHILE THE EPOXY CURES, I had to throw out a failed attempt because I clamped them in and they ended up not being in far enough. So make sure your comfortable and be prepared for a wait.
Just spread glue on the contact area of the shoe (picture above) and stand in them for the curing time. It says 30mins but I did an hour in case the tube was older (old tubes take longer to cure)
I needed for glue in shoe:
-"https://www.amazon.ca/Weld-50139-Plastic-Adhesive-Syringe/dp/B01IBOK7FE" get two packages, one is barely enough
-"https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B007GB6WO4" Thin Flat soled shoes
-some rubber to glue on the bottom of the hoof shoe to protect the 3d print if using on rough solid surfaces
If using the leather Bindings:
I would recommend wrapping your foot and ankle in compression Wrap for the support and cushion inside the hoof
If your feeling fancy pour some liquid silicone in for cushion
Attached is a lacing diagram and leather diagram
I needed for leather bindings:
-4 meters (12 feet) of lace per hoof (I just used synthetic string/rope)
-1.2 sqft of leather (or a heavy sock/compression wrap to protect against laces against your foot)
-some "Smooth-on dragonskin 10" silicone for an insole (or cloth padding to cushion the ball of your foot)
-some rubber to glue on the bottom to protect the 3d print if using on rough solid surfaces
