Ketchup Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Hey everyone! I need to make new boots! (Mine are no longer Lancer-approvable.) I found these base boots on Amazon and was wondering if they’d fly for a base for Lancer boots, with the cutouts, of course. The soles look like the same color all the way around, to me. Mickey said they’d be good for basic, but wanted to check with the peanut gallery to see if they’d be okay for Lancer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Commercial photos are usually tweaked with photo editing software, so it depends how they actually appear once they arrive. If the sole in fact appears to be one color, then you should be fine for Level 2. If there's a color difference once you have them in person, then you'd need to use some acrylic paint to make the soles the correct "wheat" color. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeOfNachos Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 If you’re near a Walmart check out the Ozark trail boots, also @zediyeti mentioned their kids boot is listed under “wonder nation” if your foot falls under the size 7 mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, my feet are riiiiight at the size 7 mark. For $30 and easy Amazon returns, I will get them and see how they are in person! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 If they're like the picture, I'd say they're great lookin' kicks! I like that the toe has a flatter profile and looks a bit more like the sierra sneakers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’re good, they could be an excellent base boot for a great price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered them and they should be here on Friday! I will let y’all know, then. Although, as a warning, they went up in price by like $20. I’m sure they will come back down at some point, because it’s how Amazon rolls. I will keep y’all updated! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketchup Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 Okay everyone, here’s the boot: Boot candidate The upper sole is a slightly different shade of tan, matching the body of the boot. I have no idea if it will look better if I cut into it? I will see. I still can’t find the Ozark Trail boots. Boo. Lmk your thoughts!

Chopper Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 You can use that boot, but you'll need to paint the sides of the soles so that they're the proper "wheat" color. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
