Tb5628 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 For stitching the boots, it specifically says to fold the vinyl at the top of the boot and stitch. Do you also fold the edges under the velcro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 If your referring to the Velcro closure in the back of the boot, then no fold is needed. Vinyl will not fray like many traditional fabrics. The fold at the top of the boot is to give it a “finished and clean” look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddygus Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I need to rebuild my boots and the Kingshow boot is getting hard to find. Does anyone have a good replacement suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeOfNachos Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Walmart has these that I used. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-Men-s-Troy-Boots/931045664 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 The Kingshow 1366 bootappears to have been discontinued, but any boots with a similar shape and colored sole will work. Just make sure that the sole is not two-tone in color or dark tan/brown. It should be a wheat color. The Kingshow 1180 wheat is a good substitute. Prices have really jumped over the last year too. https://www.amazon.com/KINGSHOW-Mens-Wheat-Classic-Boots/dp/B08BJB37K2/If you find a boot other than what has been suggested, feel free to post a pic and we’ll let you know if it’ll work or not.

P Combover Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Well, it looks like the 1180 is the latest Kingshow boots on Amazon, if anyone is interested. The sole color isn't exact, but might work? Got mine on sale for $40 and what do you know, my marine vinyl came in to today as well. Time to get rolling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the ones used in the film: I'd say the color of those is in the ballpark. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Agreed, that sole color looks good. Thanks for the heads up, Chris. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0CKSTER Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 What do people usually do about the laces, I've seen some people use elastic laces which is a good idea. Do others just tie them up before glueing the vinyl and leave it? Or does glueing it the way it's glued in the tutorial stil allow you access to the laces anyway.

That has always worked for me, but I do have a big foot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbinger Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I did elastic laces but I’m not sure it is 100% needed in hindsight. Knowing how the film boots were built they probably left them laced and tied the top hooks each suit-up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I planned to use elastic laces for my build, but took BikerScout007’s advice to leave them unlaced and I’ve had no issues. I did not put any E6000 over the laces covered by the toe cap or the boot shaft which allows me to tighten them a little if needed, but it is very rare, and I can still tie them if I want, but tbh there’s really no need, as long as the boot base fits your foot well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
