Pandatrooper Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Just saw this on the Legion boards. http://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=83208&highlight= While these might pass the basic CRL, they definitely wouldn't pass Lancer.
batninja Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Can you post pics? Not all of us are 501st-active...
Smiling Fox Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I actually like those a lot. I am curious if there is a hiking boot base under or if they are custom. They look like they still open at the back but they don't look as bad as the normal stovepipe shaft.
batninja Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 It's a shame they didn't modify the soles. Beyond that, it's not a bad-looking boot. The toes look a bit flat (to me), but maybe it bulks up a little when your feet are inside. 2
Chunk Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I contacted them about calf circumfrence. If they can make wide to fit my calves I will be the test subject & place an order next week. 3
jyjellyfish77 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I contacted them about calf circumfrence. If they can make wide to fit my calves I will be the test subject & place an order next week. They look good, real interested to see how they turn out. Thanks for jumping on them.
Southscout Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 It's a shame they didn't modify the soles. Beyond that, it's not a bad-looking boot. The toes look a bit flat (to me), but maybe it bulks up a little when your feet are inside. They should actually be a bit flat :-) Skickat från min LG-D802 via Tapatalk 1
caaw Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I had a pair similar to these given to me with the scout i got but they where to small for me, they didnt have a base boot attached the leather and stitching was a nice quality. But they where to small and i just wasnt sure on the soles of them. The ones i had where made by cabots. They have now gone to the dustbin in the sky, never thought to offer them on here
Chunk Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Maker contacted me & they are custom made to "my" measurements. So will be placing an order on Tuesday.
Dart Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Definitely interested in the end quality of these things. My boots are going on 4 years and I really liked the idea of making them from leather instead of vinyl. Joe, please take lots of photos. For that price, and some do-it-yourself sole cutting, these could be really nice.
Chunk Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Hehe how'd you know I was gonna cut the soles
Griffin-X Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Very interesting...and from France, eh?! These do look really good. Let us know how it goes Joe.
Chunk Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Will do. Just waiting on overtime to come in. 1
4505Marcel Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Not keen on the visible faux stitching on the soles, and agreed they do look flat. I personally can't see these making lancer, toe trims could be a shade wider.
Chunk Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Been in contact with the seller everyday about getting the right size of my legs. Everything is a go & I just sent Paypal. 2
TB-7076 Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 I guess we have to wait and see how these look after some use. "Out of the box" they look not too well. Major gripe as always is the base boot not matching the typical slick feel of the originals. The individual threads can be added later on but the character of the boots can't be changed. So I'm curious how it turns out -please keep on reporting. Currently savung up to grt a new pair done as well. The current ones are about to die soon.
Chunk Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Just got an email with pics of my boots finished. They will be shipped out next week. Figure apx 2wks delivery time from China. 1
CROW62 Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Hello, may be this is my first post on the bikers (I use to make the Kashyyyk botts), Pac V. oredered to me to make a full leather biker boots: I added metal toe and this is a hammer test: If you want to see the WIP of this design go to: http://forum.bikersc...showtopic=12566 Gio 2
Chunk Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Boots arrived today. I LOVE EM! They fit perfect & look really good. can't wait to wear them at my next troop. Will post pics a lil later. 2
blholmes Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Is it just me or do anyone else see the Dogbone in the movie photo has a inch gap to the sole but every build you see has the Dogbone touching the sole? Any thoughts?
4505Marcel Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Yeah possibly, but I would have thought that would just be down again to rushing these out. They probably just made a load of the same size, to fit different size boots. They wouldn't of had the time to craft a pair of boots to a certain trooper like we do
CROW62 Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 I know this is an old thread, just to let you know that I am working in make the sierra sneakers soles replica to make accurate boots in white leather, working in more accurate gloves too, soon videos and images 4 1
