If you want the original, that is where you go. Unfortunately, for me, I couldn't afford to do that, so I made my own per the Scott Bayles tutorial on you tube. It worked for me, but at some point, Durans are on my wish list.
I plan to seek out the YouTube tutorial that Scott Bayles has posted. It will most likely work for other shoes and boots as well. Or so I have reason to believe.

It’s not that bad, some general sewing skill is all you need. Nobody would do it for me. They said “I was too picky” lol, I had no idea how to sew, so I bought a cheap used machine for like $40,watched a few YT videos, and went to town. The Bayles tutorial is great for somebody on a budget as I was. Mine actually turned out pretty good for someone who didn’t know what he was doing..lol. Make sure you get a good pattern of your leg though. What I did was go raid the kitchen and wrap my leg and shoe In cling wrap, and then duct tape,this way, nothing sticks to you or your clothes..lol. Next, I drew a line straight up the front and straight down the back then measured the taper. Did it look ridiculous, YEP! I did get an exact pattern of my leg though and these boots will not fit anyone except me. Make sure to allow enough for seams and you should be ok. I hope this helps. Let us see how they turn out. Good luck!

For myself, I would seek the boots in black. Batman is really supposed to frighten his enemies.
