How would I model these boots?

Ashindale

Never in my life did I model boots/shoes, so how do I get to modeling this.
I got Maya and Zbrush.

Easyyyy...just kiddin, first you should start making a blockout to get the proportions, when that is ready, start going up one time add medium details....high details....and dont forget to model them like in real life / separated objects.

Here's a vid from my YT channel showing one way in ZB. You might get a few ideas from it:

Think of it as a narrow square up for the calf and a boxier square for the lower half, then just start carving away and make the forms rounder, to match the appearance, make sure you get the anatomy of each piece right

You could model a majority of that in Maya and do some of the other dents and what not in zBrush; then again you could do it all in zBrush.
