Bettcha that title got your attention LOL!!!
Ok I got a small manneq okuin and its 5'7" BUT it has 10 inch FEET. I got 4 sets of shoes for USAAF and NONE fit they are to small to fit those Jethro feet that don't move to be able to get them on.
So to my question.
SHOULD I CHOP OFF MY TOES??????

It would be all set if I was going with the barefoot Hillbilly Bomber Boy or if I needed to wear flip flop's!!!
So any thought from those that have dealt with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
We do that quite often in the museum field in order to properly fit shoes and other footwear onto mannequins without overstretching the leather..
I would cut them just behind where the toes join the foot.. You can always pad the toe of the boot with muslin cloth or tissue paper to fill the barrier after the toes are removed..

I took the liberty of showing you the best place on the foot to cut... If you think it is too far back you can go forward a little..
The issue is that OUR feet are flexible and can bend to slide into a shoe. Not so with a mannequin. Mine has been shoeless for 5 years now! Never thought of cutting off the toes. LoL
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them
