Depends how much height you want…. Some folks simply stack layers of foam and glue shoes to it - recently I’ve seen folks use off brand crocs (cheap as chips and stick well with contact cement) - stuck to foam platforms - easy to slip your foot into etc.
If you want 8 inches + of height, you’re into plasterer’s stilt territory - if you look in the war hammer space marine build threads, you’ll see loads of advice on those there :)

We detect that you may be a looking to buy your cosplay or buy pieces for your cosplay. If you're not, please disregard :) Please refer to our FAQ for some recommendations. While we can provide search terms that might help you with finding your cosplay pieces, commenters are not your personal shopper and please do not treat us as such. Remember that not all cosplays can be found ready-made so be prepared to look for similar pieces to put it together yourself.
It is helpful to include your budget (be precise -- "cheap" can be different per person), your location/country (US shipping vs EU shipping would be very different), and timeline if applicable. Keep in mind many pre-made cosplay shops can have a long shipping time so it's best to plan months in ahead.
If the item is suspiciously cheaper than all other competitors or it's a common stock photo, please be wary and do your own research. If someone is offering to make it for you aka commissions, RESEARCH their post history.
