Boot questions

[thericeshield]

SO Im planning on making my own boots and had a few questions. DO you have to cut out the sole of the boot like how the real ones are and do the soles have to be one color? Because on the 501st site the boot sole looks like its 2 colors. http://www.501st.com/databank/File:TB_scout_boots.jpeg

Looks like that because of lighting.

For Lancer, yes, for general approval, no.

That was my first set of boots I made back in 2008. The soles aren't as harsh two tone as it seems in the photo because of the lighting I used. You want to try and find a boot that is single colored on the sole without threads on the top if possible. Even my later set of boots which I made and sold dozens of to people are no longer acceptable for Lancer because of the white threading on the top of the sole. That photo should probably be replaced in the CRL.

thanks for the responses guys. So I only need to cut the soles if I want to be a lancer correct?

The CRL on the main legion site says:

Boots

• White or lightly weathered.
  
• The soles of the boot should be tan while the rest of the boot should be white.
  
• There is a dog bone shaped strap that covers the bridge of the foot.
  
• The boots are secured up the back using 25mm (1") white velcro closure.
  
• The calf should come up just slightly underneath the bottom of the knee armor.
  

 

So the answer is no, you do not need cuts to be a 501st Pathfinder
