EVA Foam can be heat formed and re-shaped with limited results. I used my heat gun on a sheet of foam for too long and nearly burned my hands. Yeowch! You might want to try a hair dryer on regular heat, instead.
It can, but not recommended. Especially normal spray paint cracks, unless it is vinyl wrapped or Plasti dip painted. But just as eve said, it won't be comfortable
Ideally the best will be 60 to 70 degrees for the base, need a harder one for the base, but might need to slot a softer one in for more comfort use. While for the "leather" side, I use 55 degree, can't use a harder one for curvy parts
@LeonNoelCos I've been trying to find 55, but I haven"t found a source for it. All the local shops have hard 75+. A shop in LA was wanting to charge $80 to ship $40 of EVA to me. Where r u getting it?
Yes definitely. As long as you don't over stretch it. The reason I use another thin layer of Eva to cover everything is to enhance the the shoes. Just wore it carefully, don't over stretch it, don't run with it, it will last whole day
@@LeonNoelCos Nice Video. Maybe you could add that contact adhesive info in the description area under the video. It would save people from potential problems that want to use your directions. I think a lot of people are going to be confused and think you're telling them to use Cyanoacrylate "CA Glue."
@@LeonNoelCos thanks for the info. I'm planning something similar and I need all the info I can get. Btw I must compliment you on your work. It was great!
How durable is it? I mean, I'm not going to be careless with the shoes, but like, do I need to be SUPER careful with it? I'm wanting to make me one for cosplay.
Depends on what kind of paint you use. The shoe itself is pretty durable unless u ran with it, kick somebody with it, other than that, it will last pretty well
The plastic warp we usually used for sealing and wrapping the food to keep it fresh, or we usually use for wrapping parcel to keep it out of rain, water. That's what we call it here
You win! These are great
Thanks for sharing the magic
Sangat bermanfaat.
Great tutorial! Hope you don’t mind me asking, which thickness of foam did you use to make the details on the shoe ?
I use 5mm
Great vid!!
Do u know if the EVA material can be melted and reutilized?
I've never heard of it, so I'm not quite sure
@@LeonNoelCos
Thx anyway

No, the liquids in it will condense and will burn and shrink
But can the soles be stretched/folded near the toe area where it needs to move?
Eva foam is soft, it will break in with wear. That being said, these probably won't be very comfortable

Thank you dear sir
What hardness or density of foam are u using? Most of the EVA I'm finding is hard as concrete & very uncomfortable to stand on.

U on Etsy or a specific vendor?
Also did this shoe last a day I meant. If I make one, can I walk around with it in anime NYC, will it fall apart? sorry for so much questions.

@@LeonNoelCos Thank You!!!
If i already have a shoe base with a heel, how would you suggest i attach my eva foam to the heel?
That will be a lot more easy, simply just wrapped over the base
@LeonNoelCos thank you so much for replying! I'll try that
Good luck!
What do you mean when you say CA?
Contact adhesive. Some people call it contact cement

@@thewhitemustang this is true! thanks for informing
How does it hold up when you wear it?
Had worn them to an small event recently and they are still intact
@@LeonNoelCos thanks for the info. I'm planning something similar and I need all the info I can get.

can i make a sandal base with eva and the heels with cardboard?
Yes, indeed a lot of sandal and slipper are made of high density Eva foam. But I'm not so sure about heels
@@LeonNoelCos then i'll not risk it, but thanks
He need to make more video so I can learn more

Hi if I want my shoe to be purple how do I color it?
Either acrylic, plastic dip, or any other painting method. Ideally acrylic or plastics dip, the rubberized painted will be better

Where can I find EVA
I’m trying to find out the same thing
Di toko bangunan.
Bro has the "YOROKOBE ZASSHU!" shoes
Plastic warp? Don't you mean "Plastic Wrap"?
The plastic warp we usually used for sealing and wrapping the food to keep it fresh, or we usually use for wrapping parcel to keep it out of rain, water. That's what we call it here
Hhhhhhhhhh
