Gaerithe Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Would the biker boots from Imperial Boots meet 501st approval for Basic? How about for Lancer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apophis Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Approval, probably... Lancer, no. Modify the soles and maybe (I'm not an expert). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayelbe Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 From the many replies when this company comes up, they MIGHT pass basic approval, but would definitely not pass for Lancer. I was pretty scared going in, but made mine following the tutorial. It was really, really easy. There's also a couple people here that will make you a really good pair if you insist on not doing it yourself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think they look nice, and might pass basic clearance. It'll come down to the GML and the DL. They will not pass Lancer standards though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to mod the sole to get to Lancer? (and maybe that ugly thread on the velcro) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Is it possible to mod the sole to get to Lancer? (and maybe that ugly thread on the velcro) You "might" be able to modify them for Lancer standards. But since these do not look screen accurate, it'll be tough. The boot soles will be the hardest part (color, cuts, etc.). Again, they do look nice but you'd be better off making or purchasing a set that is more accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmack89 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Looks like they stopped making the biker scout boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaScout Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 there are makers in the trade forum that would be better and more accurate than imperial boots anyway. I made my own for basic approval but if I wanted to ensure lancer and minimize re-work on my part I wouldn't hesitate to use them for around the same cost. I liked the fact that imperial boots were actual purpose built boots but that isn't how the on screen scout boots were made. The tutorial is a more faithful reproduction of the process.
