So I came up with idea that uses the DIY stilt instructions, only instead of building your own brace you can get a pair of ski boots and thread them to the wooden foot. this may or may not be cheaper depending on how you get your boots. I bought mine at a antique/consignment store for 2.50$ so I came out ok. I am in the process of building them but I think the idea should work.
I've seen that idea used before, and to me it just looks like a lot of pressure on your shins. The leg brace is vital, and the best designs I've seen utilize a brace going all the way up to the thigh.
The main problem with ski boots is that you will be unable to move your foot, making it much less lifelike.
