Josafoot Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Starting to muster my scout trooper kit. Purchased an armor kit and was looking for the various soft parts. For boots, the site I bought the kit from mentioned using on quart chemical boots. I have seen posts regarding rubber rain boots, however, these seem more robust. http://www.qcsupply.com/71505-onguard-16-white-boot-steel-toe.html?utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=productfeeds&sel=11841&gclid=Cj0KEQiAwNmzBRCaw9uR3dGt950BEiQAnbK9684fTkr3AZoJIxEzavlrQtvMug4NZ9llLLMowqWgc1caAqpq8P8HAQ Any thoughts? I tried to make clone trooper shoes which was a disaster bit maybe the boots are easier to make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexous Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I would highly recommend not purchasing rain boots of any sort, these boots need to be made using the tutorial >> http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=903 Or, if you're not as savy (like myself) purchase them from a fellow maker such as Marcel or locally in California, Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Hawk Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 They wouldn't pass for clearance ( which If you aren't looking to join the 501st is not an issue) as is. You would have to wrap them like regular boots and all the designs on the side would stand out. You would also need to paint the heels.

Josafoot Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Sounds good. I am going to avoid these boots then. Who are the better/cheaper vendors of boots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexous Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Since you're state-side, probably Chris. He's got a thread somewhere here regarding boot sales Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stasz Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I always encourage folks to take a crack at making their boots. The tutorial is excellent, and it's really pretty easy. I just enjoyed making mine a lot, and it was a big confidence booster when it came time to get to work on the other stuff. And it's pretty inexpensive. Chris and Marcel make great boots too.
