01Hawk Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I didn't rivet my boots and they have held up pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarintyr Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Looked like it in the tutorial. Maybe I just didn't see clearly. The bottom rivet is supposed to show? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Hawk Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 If you do rivet it , the dog bone should cover it. I just glued mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubonos Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'll be honest, when it came to rivets on the holster, I just put em in the holster but Velcro the holster to the boot. This way at some events or trick or treat with my kids I can go without the holster or if I need to repair or replace my boots its and easy swap. Its looks right and its conventional. I actually took that advice from command staff in my garrison because a scout in my garrison ripped his boot when the holster snagged a bleacher at a baseball game we did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 For the love of all that is Holy don't rivet your boots... You'll end up with bleeding feet and hours and hours of agony! Just glue them. They'll be fine. Mine are just glued and have lasted about 6 years of me being a complete d!ck in them. As for the holster, if the 'outside' look is one of just having the rivets, then it will be fine for Lancer. But if any of the velcro is visible, then it might not pass muster. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I rivet my boots, but I do it inside out. You don't want to do it from the outside or as Rob said the sticking out piece will shred your feet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zarintyr Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I will try Velcro first for the holster and see. If it doesn't work well I'll rivet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01Hawk Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I think what the rivet /Velcro method meant was to put the rivets thru the holster while not attached to the boot so in essence they are just decorative. After they were installed then Velcro the holster to the side of the boot? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubonos Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Uhhhhhhh its industrial strength according to the pack it came in. But its not like normal Velcro so loop I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Personally I'd steer clear of Velcro and just use rivets for attaching the holster, you still get some vynil movement and certainly would help avoid the bunching up around the Velcro as seen in Jeremy's picture ( sorry dude) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarintyr Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Ok. Guess it's on to rivets. Should I add a thin piece of sanded plastic inside the boot to prevent my leg from getting shredded? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayelbe Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I haven't gotten that far in my build, but I'd assume that between socks and your coverall pant legs you shouldn't have much to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereswa11y Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I've previously used rivets to attach my holster to my boot. Unfortunately I keep experiencing cracking at the rivet point. Those of you who use the velcro and the decorative rivet, do you still get cracks near the rivets on your holster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stasz Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I've previously used rivets to attach my holster to my boot. Unfortunately I keep experiencing cracking at the rivet point. Those of you who use the velcro and the decorative rivet, do you still get cracks near the rivets on your holster? Are you making a properly sized pilot hole and using a baking strip on the inside with washers? How close to the edge are your rivets rivets? I only ask because I haven't seen this as a common issue aside from the holster experiencing some type of duress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
