Boot base

[zarintyr]

The only boots I can really find here are caterpillar and timberland (which are way too pricey)

 

I found these. 55$ Brand is called Daiwa.

I use these boots with the "gum" soles for mine. I'm putting in my Lancer app here in a few. I'll upload a picture of mine if you'd like.

Need more grooves in the bottom edge of the grip/tread but the color is better.

[zarintyr]

Yes. The grooves are too short , would be hard to cut the grooves into the sole.

The bigger issue is the 2 tone sole.

[Guest Forrest Patrol]

You can paint the sole and the bottom edge grooves only need to be on the outer edge (I don't mean the vertical grooves on the side)

Do they not have the internet where you live? Im sure they do, because your on here. Look online & find what you need. People are posting a nice base boot found on Ebay for under $30. If you look a lil harder Im sure you can find them even cheaper.

I think Chris got my boots off Amazon for $20-25 and they had a single color sole

Tbh I hate using work boots as the base boot. They are way too clunky and are uncomfortable. And compared to the screen used boots they're inaccurate in shape. The base boot I use are palladium boots which are Israeli scout boots, and they are fat more comfortable,lighter,and more accurate in shape

[Nexous]

Palladium Boots definitely look nice and I'd imagine that they'd feel nice for $90+ boots Wouldn't mind owning a pair myself down the road.... but I'm guessing the OP doesn't wanna go higher than $30, which is understandable.

[zarintyr]

Haha yes we have Internet. I'm waiting for my paypal to activate (waiting for my bank statement for the verification code )

[zarintyr]

What company made the screen used boot base?

[01Hawk]

The original boots were made by Hi-Tec ... Like these

[zarintyr]

Oh. Thanks much!

[zarintyr]

Are these the Israeli scout boots you mentioned?

[mrivera]

Interesting info here.

So what's the main thing to consider when shopping for boots? Heel? Color?

[Guest Forrest Patrol]

For me 1st - Heel. Actually price is 1st!

You can repaint them anyway but colour is 2nd factor

I saw these today while looking around for a balaclava. I wonder if either of the soles would work as a good base.

 

Same shoe just different color soles.
