Boot build

[silent]

Just started heating the vinyl onto my boots, using lugz for a base, just wondering if the strings need to come out?

Normally no the laces stay in, but it does look like the laces extend quite far down the toe on these which isnt ideal if you dont want them to show. Possibly start the laces a few eyelets up might help?

[silent]

yeah think I am gonna get some real short ones for just the top eyelet and the hooks, started heating the second one with no laces and like the look a lot better

ok wanna get opinions on the tightness before I glue this down

[4505Marcel]

They do look tight enough mate, Im just not sure they are a great donor boot to use due to the lace set up. But give it a go what you got to loose

I think he's using the same Lugz base boot a lot of others are using. Not sure if they are doing something different to cover the eyelets a little better. Maybe a second layer of vinyl would help.

2nd layer is what i am debating, driving me nuts how it is showing the holes, seen others with the same boot, and it does not show, pm'd jaycee who used the same boot to see what he did.

It would drive me nuts too James. Are the eyelets able to be filed? Maybe spread a coat of E-6000 around the eyelet section to "flush" it out. I don't know man. Just trying to offer some solutions.

Its probably just the angles ect but these boots look really long and thin?

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just remembered..... I removed the eyelets so the sides sit flatter. Sorry mate, just popped into my head then

lol, that was the other thing I was wondering about
