zarintyr Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 I have a question before i start cutting. Ive seen two types of cuts. The marcel cut and plus cut. Which is better? Also..do i cute the front part or only back part of the boot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Hawk Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I think the cuts vary from build to build since sole size varied as well. I tried to make a stencil from blown up images of real boots but that didn't work out too well. Having a set of real boots now, I think trying to duplicate the exact cut would be tough. Some people cut just the backs , others do the front and back- depends on how comfortable you are with your trimming skills. I think the sole material makes a huge difference. The cheap hard plastic soles look better after cut. I used Timberlands with a gummy sole and each cut I made made like white/clear pulled/thin edges.

zarintyr Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 I'm very curious. The bsn only shows vertical cuts but the crl for lancer says vertical and horizontal. Which is true? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayelbe Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 You are doing it right. The CRL says vertical and horizontal Ribbing. If you picture the sole pattern as a series of tiny "H" shapes, you can see the "vertical" and "horizontal" ribs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarintyr Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Ohh. Thanks. So keep heel at vert only. I thought it meant heel has vert/hor in it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zarintyr Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 would this be ready to glue? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I'd go for another heat and stretch before gluing especially over the lower lace area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarintyr Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 hehe trying. not easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaJay Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Here's just a quick comparison example. The boot on the left has only been heated and stretched once. The boot on the right has been heated and stretched three times. The left one still has a noticeable bulge near the lower part of the laces. Not sure if this helps just wanted to share the photo.
