Lugz Boots so far!!!!!

[jaycee9]

1 boot done cutting the soles. Still need to tidy them up but hope these will pass for Lancer...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just added some final pics of the boots finished apart from clean up and holster on page 2 for those that were interested how these boots look

Cheers guys, thanks for watching.

[ukscout]

can't see why these would not pass lancer status - possibly closet base boot to use apart from the originals your probably going to get

 

look good so far

[Griffin-X]

No doubt, great find and work on your boots.

[Boba Leo]

Yes, I love this boots!!!!!! Great Work!!!!!!

Thanks guys, they are fairly easy to cut. For those thinking about them, the logo on the back of the sole came off easy with running a knive flush with the sole and the same for the logo on the bottom. Will post more pics when I start wrapping the top as there is a bit of work there to hide the lace holes and the gap.

Cheers everyone

The cuts certainly wouldnt fail a lancer app you have done a good job on them. Only thing that sticks out to me and it maybe the reflection from the top of the boots but are the soles green???

The soles should be a sandy/honey beige colour

[jaycee9]

Nah, it's just the light. They are a honey colour. Thanks for the response Marcel, makes me feel a bit easier knowing they should be ok for Lancer

[jaycee9]

Here is the latest step done... Had to fill in the gap between the laces before covering the toe so it wouldn't sink with heat and stretching!!!

 

 

[jaycee9]

Ready for some sewing and more glueing. Had a set back as my sewing machine wasn't strong enough so had to call in a favour so will have some more up-dated pics to show soon PLUS armour is finally on it's way!!!!!!! Only after waiting 27 weeks

 

[Evil-Inc]

Must be MC armour to have waited that long....

Looks great - I think I'm going to pick up a pair of these. Do you think the top two eyelet hooks are going to cause any problems with the vinyl, like bulging out too much?

[jaycee9]

Shouldn't be an issue, I was going to lace them up but after testing with the toes glues I wont need to. They will fit nice and snug so the top eyelets should be out of the way of the top of the vinyl.

[Maelstrom]

This might be a stupid question, but what did you fill toes open area of the boots with?

[jaycee9]

I just made a template and used an extra piece of the white vinyl. Worked well but could try 2 layers and see if that makes it too full?

[Centuri]

what kinda Glue are you using Jase?

[jaycee9]

I'm using Selley's Kwik Grip. Seems to be the norm over here.

[silent]

can't wait for more updates, just bought the same boots for my build

[gowinme]

Jaycee and silent,

 

How are these boots working out? I'm thinking of picking up a pair.

 

Thanks!

So far so good, just waiting to get some sewing done as my machine isn't up to the challenge. A bit of work cutting the soles but I think it is worth it in the end. Just my opinion

[silent]

do you have to take the shoestrings out or can you leave them in?

[jaycee9]

I took them out as once I stretched the toe, it is a really nice snug fit to wear. I figured if I needed them, I could always use shorter laces and just lace the ankle area for support but honestly don't think I'll need them.

[jaycee9]

Boots basically finished, just some clean up and wait for glue to dry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[silent]

I see now why you put the piece on the tongue first, otherwise you get a seam at the toe

[jaycee9]

Yeah, worked pretty well. Can see it a little but other than that.
