I have about 2 weeks before I can order all of my armor and soft parts. The current plan is to shoot for Lancer with SC armor, a KS helmet, LSFU softies, and Target modified boots. I went ahead and picked up the boots at Target last night thinking that I could get a jump start on them. After studying Witness's pics of his cut soles, I can't tell where the cuts stop. Per the pic below, should they stop at line 1, 2, or go all the way up through the top by the threads (line 3)? Sorry for my squiggly lines. Hard to draw on my laptop. Also, how deep should the cuts be?
I went by JoAnn's and Hancock Fabrics to pic up the vinyl. Could not find any that I really liked though. Most were to thin and gave the impression that the right boot will crush from the weight of the blaster. Where do most people pick theirs up from and is there a specific item number/part number (not sure what to call it) that I should be looking for?
The CRL says something to the point that the boot should come up to almost touch the knee armor. Since I do not have the armor yet, is there some way for me to figure out how tall the boots should be? Is there some magical mathematical formula that the people who sell boots on here use when making boots for someone else? This will also go for how big around the top of the boot needs to be since I do not have the flightsuit yet.
Thanks in advance for your help.
