Whiskey Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Just picked up these bad boys on eBay for $40. I’m going to give them the ole airbrush color treatment like when I had to color uniform my tan Sierras to the added strips Unfortunately they’re too small for me, so I’ll use them on a mannequin or if my wife ever decides to scout. Guess I’ll have to buy another scout armor set *sigh* 😁 Maybe this time a strider set. OR paint them black and do an RS shadow scout mannequin 🤔 3
Chopper Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Wow I've never seen a camo pair before. Nice score. 1
Dart Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 The camo ones are cool. I almost had a pair to wear - a buddy of mine found a pair in size 13 but they didn't *quite* fit. *sigh* 1
Stroker Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Man I check Ebay all day every day for a pair. I just want a pair to put on the shelf. 1
BikerScout007 Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 I always look but can never find any in size 12! 1
Whiskey Posted June 28, 2019 Author Posted June 28, 2019 Curious... what do you guys enter in the search field?
Dart Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 I think I have a few searches. Some of them are "Sierra Sneakers", "woodland sneakers", "sierra hikers", "sierra trading post", and a few others. It's very hit and miss as some folks don't know how to label them, so they fall through the search webs. 1
Whiskey Posted June 29, 2019 Author Posted June 29, 2019 Yep. i think i searched: hitec sierra Hi tec Sierra sierra sneakers used hitec hitec boots hitec sneakers hitec canvas hitec hiking vintage hitec Did this for a week and a half Almost had a heart attack when I saw this. Those are the ones I’m using now Then 3 days I started searching again for boots for my sons wtf kids scout armor for San Diego comic con. The next day, this popped up
Stroker Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Man all the ones you've listed plus a ton more on my on! I found a pair around 2 years ago the sole was very hard on them almost to the point they were cracking. I wished I would have kept em,but I might luck on to another set. I sold them to a scout here on the boards. 3
Whiskey Posted June 30, 2019 Author Posted June 30, 2019 The camo Sierras are a good size for my sons scout with a lot of wiggle room for him to still grow into. At this point I’m only interested in looking to locate the ever elusive INTER boots. if I come across another Sierra, I’ll give you a heads up 😁👍🏼
Whiskey Posted July 1, 2019 Author Posted July 1, 2019 D’oh!! Bikerscout007/stroker so close. Im on the hunt
Whiskey Posted July 4, 2019 Author Posted July 4, 2019 Looking at these boots again...it’s really close to the sierras. Same canvas color same sole color low toe cap profile the sole has the same bottom notch locations (flat under the toes and under the heels) with some accurate carving, these could almost pass as a Sierra sneaker https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F123792705022
Aradun Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 In case anyone’s interested, I came across another Camo pair in a search today. Not sure how you’d “fix” the color of the sole. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Hi-Tec-Boots-Woodland-Sneaker-Biker-Scout-Cosplay-Sz-9-Men-Original-Camo/293362322038?hash=item444dc1ca76:g:FUkAAOSwbAZd6F4W

Maybe they can be talked down. Or they could be swamp scout boots 1

Or they could be swamp scout boots I agree. It’s no $40 bargain like Whiskey stumbled upon, but given that I’ve yet to personally come across a real pair running for less than $300.00 it might be considered a steal by some who’ve been looking for a long time.

She has reduced the price to $175. Still need to be painted, but hey I tried! 1
Whiskey Posted January 12, 2020 Author Posted January 12, 2020 I reached out to her and she sent me an offer. After attempting to convert my current pair, will have to pass. Especially since they’re too small. I don’t think I’d pay over $75 (she offered a much higher price but lower than $175) for a pair that will have a finite amount of usage. So far the conversion for my son is going “OK” This kids won’t allow me much time before they want attention lol so it’s feeling a bit rushed The paint is a Tamiya Tan. Needs to be a custom paint since the Sierras have darker soles and have almost an orange tint to them Not bad, but not “good”
