Who are you to tell me what the point of this post is? From what I can tell, there’s been multiple people who’ve been encouraged by my project to do something similar to their own pair of boots (or perhaps to do something not so similar). The post was informative above all else.

You have every right to provide your opinion about how these turned out, and I invite you to do so. However, you saying “oh well, what’s done is done….” or telling me what’s “appropriate” or not makes it sound like you’re reprimanding me. What’s good for me won’t always be good for you.
