DIY Sock Boot: Watch How To Make Your Own $895 Yeezy Heels

Bonus: you probably own most of this stuff anyway!

Thanks to Kanye West (and Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner), sock boots are pretty much one of the hottest shoe trends of the season.

The bootie, which features a sock-like ankle, was first seen on the Yeezy Season 2 runway, and has been flooding our Instagram feeds ever since.

However, Yeezy's version will cost you a whopping $895 — way too expensive for we non-Kardashian/Jenner folk. But thanks to a brilliant tutorial by YouTuber Shay Cherise inspired by Collette Emily you can make your very own pair for under $10.

As seen on Cherise's viral Instagram tutorial, all you need to make your own sock boot is a pair of pointy-toed pumps, thin knit socks and sandpaper. Simply roll the sock over the heel, cut a hole at the heel and slide it through the sock and put sandpaper (or non-slip grips) at the bottom of the sole to prevent any slippage.

In the video above, you can see associate editor Monika Markovinovic trying out the DIY hack herself — and it worked. The only real problems she found was the added bulkiness from the toe seam of the sock, and the tiny run she experienced when cutting a hole at the heel.

Watch the vid to see how the DIY sock boot is made, and feel free to try it out for yourselves!
