If you're tired of drooling over designer shoes like Charles Anastase's stunningly spiky dungeon boots, why not lock up your wallet and make them yourself? Blogger Christeric spent months inquiring about the boots and finally broke out the sander and built her own dungeon boots.
Using a set of stripper-esque nurse boots, putty and a bunch of spikes, she recreated the dungeon boots and shows you how on her site. While the process was grueling and unpleasant, her replica of the dungeon boots is a pretty close imitation of the original Charles Anastase design.
