How about these?

I'm having a hard time finding base boots (size 14)--think these would work for Lancer?

Thanks,

I don't think the sole will fly on those, being two-toned. The stitching would probably be sufficiently covered by the trim. Shame though. The soles do look like they'd lend themselves to the cut outs well.

 

 

From the CRL:

"For level two certification (if applicable):

The boots have slots cut into the heels as seen on film.

The boot sole is a single color with no visible stitching."

And a bit more in depth for Lancer Specs:

you CAN paint the sole all one color if need be. But it is best to get a 1 color sole.

There about the only thing I've never imported for my costumes everything else I buy is from elsewhere in the world lol

I checked out both the UK and US Ebays--I need a US 14E which is apparently tough to come by in a solid-colored sole. The search continues....

Well, a fortuitous trip to the attic revealed some old Air Force boots I stashed away (and forgot about). Think they could work? They have vibram soles--are those easy to carve out?
