Shoe weathering

[karmajay]

What are the best way to weather shoes if you don't live near the ocean. A little bit of sandpaper and a dip in a saltwater bucket/

 

Thanks!

Depends on what colour you have Jason

I have the Shoretrooper boots from the ImperialBoots.com site.

Go for a good walk

 

You can shoe polish , black and brown to give you a bit off darkness , and wire wool for scuff marks. If you want Sand on them, get some PVA glue and sparingly put it in areas that Sand would be trapped, then put Sand on the areas and it will stick.

All I used was black and brown shoe polish and a wire brush.

I just used sand colored pastels starting with black layering up and then 60 grit snadpaper to scratch them back down. Repeat

Never thought to use shoe polish for weathering. Cool

Your tips are great and especially so simple. I have done something difficult before I edit my shoes with sandpaper. But with a little patience the result is very good.

I anticipate this to be to the most heart-wrenching part of the build. All the armor I have ordered comes in rough, but my brand new Orca's arrived last week and they look nice. I think i will have to wear them a few times before i give into weathering these.

I bought a second pair as they are so comfortable and a good boot to wear!
