Recommended Boots


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I want to build a Scout trooper for me but I´ve noticed that one of the biggest troubles people have while making this character are the boots!!!... So I wanted to ask you all, which boots from whom do you recommend to buy that fit not only the basic requirements, but also work for the next levels (2 & 3) thank you

Most people make their own boots. Look at the tutorial here, it's very easy to follow. Base boots cost $20+ depending on what you get. I bought Brahma Boots from Walmart $29 & a yard of white vinyl another $20. E6000 $4 & box of pins $2. So i have $55 in my boots & a couple days work. Just go find a comfortable pair of tan work boots. NOT military type, they have the wrong sole. Doesn't matter if the sole is 2 tone, that can be painted with acrylic hobby paint($1). Everyone is dead set on finding single color soles, but they are very hard to find. So painting is a quicker fix. After you find a boot you like touch the sole with your thumb. Does it give? If yes this is a good boot as it will be easy to cut. My wife's base boot came with a single color sole but its too hard to cut so she'll never make Lancer with is ok with her. Nothing major & its resl easy. Read & follow the directions.

These boots are cheap, light, and the sole carving was easy peasy!

Solid color soles too!

 

Using the tutorial, I ended up with this:
