Is It Just Me?

Or are GI JOE boots extraordinarily hard to put on the feet of my figures? I feel like if I try to push any harder than I will break some hip joint or damage the JOE in some other way.

 
His new space suit does look very cool, however.
I love that bubble helmet more than I can tell you.

Angle the foot toes downward... when it begins to "snag ((if rubbery material per-heating with a blow-dryer helps)... squeeze at the ankle and broad part of foot while trying to work foot into shoe.. (maybe "wiggle" it a bit as well"..)
Slowly work it into the shoe.. Do Not Rush... that is how you "break" things...
best I can do , my Friend...
Figure looks Cool...

That space suit was designed for the 12 inch Joes from the 90's(Hall Of Fame). Your Joe is a 60's to 70's one and his feet are larger. The cloth bits are pretty much comparable but the boots may be too small.

Those bastards. They shrunk his feet TOO???

And you know what they say about men's feet.

It's all true. Plus if you have big thumbs you are big in the pants.

Better put on his gloves too or he'll freeze up like Hugo Drax the moment he steps out the airlock!

The gloves are a bit goofy but I will try to get them to stay on. Hugo Drax...obscure reference that I understood. Well played.
