Base Boot Question

[Stutz]

I found some boots that might work for my daughters Scout costume. Wanted to get input from the experts. Would these work as a starting point for a DIY boot build? I'm thinking the heel might be too high, but I do like not having to deal with laces. Just looking for basic approval. Thanks!

Hmmm yeah, you can double check with your local GML, but I think the sole and heel might be too thick to work effectively for a scout boot.

Hi Dean. I have to agree with Chopper. I get wanting to go without laces but that heel is much too high even for basic. I'm not sure a GML would be ok with that. Based on the CRL it's just a bit too much.

For laces I took the originals out on my boots and just put the elastic ones for the first 3-4 holes (up to where the dog bone covers) works like a charm.

LOL. I am the local GML 🙂

But I know when to come to the experts. I will take your advice and keep looking. Thanks for the input!

That's a great idea! Thanks.
