Cosplay help: judgement call

I'm working on part of a cosplay costume for Halloween, and I could use some help deciding how to put something together. I'm going to be doing Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians. He does not wear shoes, but I will be needing to leave the house in this costume, so I'm making me felted boots. If you're familiar with the movie, when they first try to induct him as a Guardian, there's a really quick flash where two of the elves try to make him put on boots. That's what I'm going for.

These are the boots I am attempting to make.
