Ghst915 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 OK here are some new pictures from Ep3 from the ash plante Mygeeto these guys wear the same boots but all white. They aslo wear the same knee armor as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB-7076 Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Great shots - there you have it; the arch is the exact copy of the Jango boots. Unfortunately all boots that have an arch there don't have this squarish frame outlining it. And that is the whole miserable situation.

Ghst915 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Yet another good picture of the boot looking at the sole this time- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thallion Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Those are great blow up shots! the link to the shin and foot guards was not to imply the shin piece is only in the front, it definanly wraps all the way around, That was just to get a refernce on how the shin and foot top work together.

Guest Thallion Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Not bad, but the heel oval cut out really detracts from the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thallion Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I know this is rather sports shoe looking.. but man it seems to be the right color and a similar hiked up arch, but I can't for the life of my find this shoe elsewhere. I hate when people don't but complete info in ebay listing.... I know this is bad form but I just spent 45minutes trying to find a better source to link.. and couldn't.. http://cgi.ebay.com/Safety-Trainer-Mid-Boo...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghst915 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I was checking out the D/H site for Jango boots and seen this picture of a boot that would work very well only its not made any more, so we have to look really hard on ebay and such to find them. Bedford Stu, or even if we can find someone to make them for us? UPDATE- I just sent an email to the guys over at CABOOTS to see if they can reproduce the boot above in tan for us and how much they would run. I also told them I can get them more pictures of the boot we want from the movie for color match and sole. As soon as I hear back from them I will post here, lets hope they can do this.

The Jango boots match up nicely, and it would make sense his clone swould wear the same boot., not to mention it did cost GL any more money to remake the cg images for each clones foot - just color them differently GHST915 I think your onto something good here...

Guest torso_boy Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 And it does not look like regular clone armor on the back of the leg. Looks flat. Army Scout That is correct. The backs of the GM/BARC shins are smooth, without the detail the normal TC calves have.

That particular boot would be very uncomfortable when wearing the shin armor. We keep focusing on the soles, which is ok, but you need to focus on the whole boot part as well. It needs to fit under the shin armor. That gigantic padded flap on the bridge of that boot would get in the way. So you need to ask them about making an ankle boot with that sole, because the actual boot part needs to be very form fitting if it's to look correct.

TB-7076 Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 OT: Maybe Caboots could revive the original scout sole as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pghfett Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 OT: Maybe Caboots could revive the original scout sole as well? Yeah, Caboots can use the sole as a model, the uppers can be altered to our needs as far as height, color and the idea that shin armor will surround the uppers for the most part. I've been playing around with the idea of making urethane rubber soles myself, I would just need to make a casting of the jango sole and attempt the process. I also thought of casting the shin guard in FG but the foot guard in semi-hard rubber so it will flex. Just kicking the idea around at this point and thought I'd throw it out here to brain storm.

Ghst915 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hey guys here is the respone from Ca boots- Unfortunatley the sole is an injection molded sole, So in order to make this boot, it would have to be made in a large quantity - like about 500 - 1000 pairs. To make short runs, in the quanities your asking about - 5 - 10 pairs, we would have to consider a different sole. Please include all previous emails with your response. Sincerely Joey www.caboots.com So we have to keep on looking for boots that will work for this costume. I ahd asked them to make more then just 5 to 10 pairs for us it was more like 30 or so.

TB-7076 Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 A Jango guy offered me to use his boots to make copies with. Unfortunately those are not the original ones but quite close. Maybe you guys could ask garrison mates as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pghfett Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I came to the comclusion that the gloves and the boots will have to be custom made (no surprise there LOL). I have begun looking into sculpting the sole and scrach building the boots. Heres what I have so far... 1. boot soles can be made out of ureathane rubber with a Durometer (density) of A-80 this is the grade used for a boot sole. 2. A leather upper premade can be "set" into the uncured rubber, where I'm hoping the material will absorb the rubber and hold tightly when it solidifies. This is kind of like using a pourous material laid into RTV silicone rubber to strengthen a mold. In boot contruction the rubber is pressure formed around the boot upper. I might be able to "key" the rubber into the sole/upper. Any input on this attempt/idea PLEASE toss it out to me LOL..... I will also continue to look for the "JANGO" boots / sole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghst915 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 The above boot is in stock for $42 at this site- http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?PA...=80530&fp=F These are a good boot for us to use, I might buy these boots myself, not sure just yet. The only thing is these are insulated and will be warm. I also found these too, and are made for the desert and are shorter- Heres the picture from another site showing the bottom of the boot- http://www.botac.com/baasbo.html http://www.discountedboots.com/site/604790/product/E02455 What do you guys think? UPDATE I went over to ebay this morning and found the above short bates boot on there going for between $30 - $40 much better then $110. Have to keep an eye out for your size is all not many on there, but still better then full price. http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?c...&category0= UPDATE 7-8-06 I have not seen these boots on ebay in a while but I do look almost everyother day while looking for other stuff.

Guest torso_boy Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Looking into soles after soles after soles is all fine and dandy, but considering practicality and costuming, how do you guys plan on cramming these thick and bulky top portions into your shin armor? That's what I'm waiting to see, because it's important and shouldn't be overlooked. Otherwise you won't be able to strap on your shin and calf armor, much less move your ankles.

TB-7076 Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 If you read further down the thread there was the idea to cast a base sole using an existing one and then build up a custom boot. Quite tricky task but I'd try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghst915 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I think one of the above boots would work fine with the armor. Well the combat boots and shoes fit tight around your calf and ankle so I dont think it would be a problem. The tan boots above are short boots too, so the armor would fit pretty good. Im planning on buy the tan boots next month to use for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TI-1574 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I know that I am new, but I REALLY like this variation, so - here is my $0.02 on the boots. I think a tan/grey combo boot would be fine and then, like the storm troopers, have a calk armour piece that fits down over the ankle. After looking a the available pics (and I am going to go home and pause my DVD to look some more) it looks more like leg armour over boots to me! I havn't figure out the toe pice yet, but I'm working on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
