SharkForge Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 This build has been awesome to read through! Really awesome weathering job. How are the crowprops boots? They nice and solid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are the crowprops boots? They nice and solid? Well…it’s my first with Crowprops. I m not sure what to say. My right foot fit good and the left foot doesn’t fit well. So if you gonna go with them, add a few more CMs to your measurements. Also don’t bother with your shoe size cos they ll not use it. I ll try to tolerate it, but if i m going to deploy and fight, I m going to IB and get a size bigger. Insoles are always available. i m going to weather my boots and hopefully ready for submission.

Aradun Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 If you can get your hands on a stretcher, you might be able to loosen up that one boot so it’s more comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already send it to cobbler, left it there for 4 days for stretching. Resorting to socks and hair dryer now. Nevertheless, I m still getting a stretcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeHuggerMatt Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Another option if you can. Fill a bath or bucket with hot water. Put the boots on then stand in it. It works wonders. Used to do it with my cadet boots when I was younger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works wonders. Used to do it with my cadet boots when I was younger This may be a decent solution to loosen up factory made boots, but I would not recommend this for scout boots that are already crafted. If you just had the Crowprops base boot, then maybe, but as this is a fully constructed boot, this method may loosen, soften, or weaken the glue used in the construction of the boot and to bond the leather covering to the toe cap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogOut Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 Anybody can share advice on IB sizing? I m considering the US size 11 boots. My normal shoes sizes range from US10 to 10.5 varies from adidas, DC and 5.11 tactical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 If you know your EU shoe sizing, I've found that to be the most accurate for Imperial Boots fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FogOut Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 I am still trying to stretch the boots. Wore multiple layers of thick socks and run the hair dryer over it. Stretch marks starting to show Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contacted them for more detail. There’s a small progress on my current pair. Will mount the holster and weather them tomorrow.
