chimei Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 hi... so i'm looking to rework my boots. since the new Lancer specs were posted, i've been examining what i have. it looks like the tutorial option for base boots will likely not pass muster for Lancer. as was suggested, i will try "weathering" the soles so that the color is "hidden" and not noticable. however, i'm looking for a back up option. so, does anyone know of a work boot that has a sole of a single color rubber? the only one i have found is by wolverine boots, but they are far too expensive for me to glue vinyl too. i found these by texas steer http://www.kmart.com...r=1322698868593 i've noticed many women's work boots are made with a single color sole. anyone know where to get a woman's size 13? suggestions or thoughts?

bjsavage7 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Are these still acceptable? http://www.target.com/p/Men-s-Merona-Ryker-Workboot-Wheat/-/A-13764043#?lnk=sc_qi_detailbutton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimei Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 those are the ones i have. i used the tutorial and these were an option, but the specs have changed, and for good reason i'm guessing all of us with these will need to do some modding to get lancer now. i'm going to try sanding the pinkish strip to dull it, then adding paint, etc to distress it. we'll see how it turns out.

I hope it can be done. Those were a good source for boots for a while now. Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 The linked boots should be fine, just need to weather out the tops of the soles a little to uniform the sole colour. But when building the boots add the toe trim that goes around the sole low enough so it covers the boot stitching so I cannot be seen as they were not seen on screen. The boots I use with the plain soles are available all the time on Ebay UK, ive also brought them from Germany, France exactly the same.

chimei Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 hadn't thought of lowering the trimming! good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
