  7. Trooper Boots, a List of Suitable Candidates

    in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance

    Posted

    Just found this thread.  Before I go delving into the styleforums for sizing info on the Loake's.  Any advice on sizing?  Do they run big or small?  Redwings 10 is my usual, with vans 10.5

    Also, in some initial searching, starting to find multiple styles on the 290, like A, B and T....any thoughts on those?  

    TIA

     

    The Loskes I have are true to size, as far as I can tell. Have not come across several types of 290, just different colours. As far as I know 290 is a last, other models would thus carry other names....,

  8. Dyeing Black Boots White

    in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance

    I went over each boot this morning with a very very light grain sandpaper, it took a lot of the residue off the surface and a fair bit of the dye.

    Had to be sure to avoid the stitching though as I don't want them falling apart before I get my armour built.

    Just curious, what did you use for whitening them ?

    Angelus paint is highly recommendable..

  15. Boot approval question

    I'm a 7.5 in US men's sizes. I guess that's a 40 in European sizes.

    And with shipping and all that, TKboots come out to around 90$ where I live.

    I got a pair of super accurate handcrafted ones, in a size that will fit you, they are a small size 41 1/2 european ( an insole may be required). If you are interested I can check the shipping cost to the States, and if that is within your price range I will donate them to you. They are painted white and really realky look the part... Interested?

    It puzzles me constantly, that people want to buy the cheapest possible boots. The reason for my puzzlement is threefold.

    1. Cheap boots are very rarely screen accurate in any way shape or form.

    2. Cheap boots will not last very long.

    3. You walk endlessly when you troop. Take for instance the largest troop in Denmark ( possibly Northern Europe) the yearly Legoland Star Wars Days, we walk more than 10 km ( 7 miles) every day, I guaran- effing-tee that cheap bots will cause you major pain, even in my Loakes ( which are considered the most accurate next after the original ones, as well as super high quality hand crafted boots), I had pretty sore feet ( I am a soldier and therefore not unacustomed to marching).

    Therefore, consider the boots to be an integralpart of the armour, which we want to be super duper accurate, and get the right ones the first time.

     

    You can see my thread for high quality screen accurate boots:

  20. DoopyDoos DLT-19, Mk3

    Hey Germain

    having gone over the two dlts and compared with a real mg34, I must agree with you. The number of details, like stamps Little knobs etc. is better in the Doopy Dooos, no doubt about that. I still really like the ASH, but whether I prefer one over the other I dont know. They are both axcellent and both have pros and cons.....
