DekaBreak Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Hello, I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation on what boot to get? I know they have to be tan. Also avoid waterproofing and steel toe. I've seen several different ones for different price points like timberlands, dickies, craftsman etc. Wanted to see what was out there Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019CVC8TI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_B9pIAbPZCYEMT This is the boot that I used as a base. Not super expensive, fits true to size, and the sole is the right color for a scout boot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I went with a Texas Steer boot from Kmart when I started. Kmart's are shrinking in numbers but they are still around so it might be worth checking their website for one in your area. First and foremost they need to be comfortable for a day of trooping so keep that in mind when you shop. As you already mentioned they also need to have a single color tan sole per the CRL. I like my Texas Steer's they are comfortable and cost me around $20. They were easy to modify and handled the Shoo-Goo adhesive very well.

Not too expensive in case you screw your first pair up. Building the boots was the first thing I did for this costume. It wasn't too hard. Just follow the steps, which you can find on here and videos online. A few bits of advice, LET YOUR GLUE DRY 24hrs. Just work material around to get all the wrinkles out. Make paper templates for the leg parts before you cut material. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
