  1. Right now CABoots.com has factory seconds on sale for $50.00. But only has limited sizes. ----------
  2. DOH! I forgot about the smell. Yes the CA smell FOREVER! The TK's smell like new leather. One thing that I forgot to mention is price. The TK cost $49.00 + $13.00sh CA were $70.00 + $18.00sh. Also the shipping is much faster with TK. A friend of mine ordered his CA about 3 days before I placed my order. He's still waiting for his boots. Mine were ordered on Sun May 30,10 & delivered on June 2,10. I would have had them a day earlier, but Monday was Memorial Day(No Mail Delivered)
  3. Comparison is up. I forgot to mention. The dog is super cute. He's a "real" ARFtrooper
  4. Here is a comparrison between TKBoots & CABoots. Both are a size 10. Looking at the pictures, the TKBoot is on the right side.(Except the rear faceing. I accidently switched boots) Both are very true to sizing. I wear a mens size 10 police or military work boot & both fit great toe wise. The TK is a lil narrow on the sides. But being leather they should strech & become more comfortable with each wearing. The TK is real leather & has a dull or "mate" finish. The CA is patent leather with a glossy finish. The TK is about a half inch shorter in height than the CA. The TK has a plain front & has no seams running down. The CA has one slanted seam down the front & then inward to the ankle. On the rear the TK has a leather strip with two seams. The CA just has one seam running down without the extra material in the back. Both have the elastic sides, & the heals are almost identical. To me both were about the same comfort wise.
  5. I have size 10 in both the TK & CA Boots. I'll take a pic & post a lil later for everyone to see
  6. I came across these today, & thougt I would post it here for my brothers ( & Sisters with really huge feet) in black. I'll repost in the For Sale thread. http://caboots.zoovy.com/product/1CCLO0002/MENS-BLACK-STAR-WARS-STORM-TROOPER-ANKLE-BOOTS-SIZE-14D-20-Closeout.html
  7. My boots arrived today. Very happy with them. I wear a sz 10 Nike running shoe & 9.5 work boot. I ordered the size 10. They fit fine. I would say they run right on with a size 10 boot. They are a lil snug on the sides. But with time they should break in & wear more comfortable. The delivery was AWSOME. I ordered them Sunday at 3:30am befor work. When I got home I had an email with a tracking #. The comunication was great too. Every email was answered quickly. YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER BOOT ANYWHERE
  8. Boots arrived today. They look great! They are a lil snug on the sides. But will strech with more & more wearings. Being real leather they should become more comfortable with time. You can'tbeat the price. $49.00 for real leather stormtrooper boots. The delivery was super fast. They even shipped them out on a Sunday. I ordered mine at 3:30Am Sunday morning before I left for work. When I returned home. I had an email saying they were shippd out with a confirmation number. Now that is great customer service! On a seprate note. I also picked up thier Orange Sandtrooper Pauldon. This looks real good to me too. So both their products get high marks from me.
  9. My TKBoots just arrived today. I've been wearing them for about an hour. They are a lil snug, but I belive they will loosen up with more wearing. These are real leather & leather streches with more & more wearings. I'm very happy with them. The shipping was super fast! I ordered them Sunday at 3:30Am & they came today(Wed) at 5:00Pm. I would have had them yesterday, but Monday was Memorial Day & no mail.
  10. I don't know what to say I remember getting shocked while messing with my spark plug wire while my truck was running. I know I've done sme stupid things, but I would never volunteer for that
  11. Those are the best looking Ewoks I've ever seen. You did a great job on them. :ewok1: :ewok1:
  12. I saw the 13yr old son in law thing too. Was like wow they marry off young where your at
  13. I ordered my TKBoos Sunday at morning. I got the UPS confirmation & they will be here tomorrow. Now thats super fast shpping. They would have been here yeserday, but it was Memorial Day & no mail ran. Can't wait to get them tomorrow. The only bad thing UPS delivers around 5pm at my house
  14. WOW! I just read an email from TKBoots. My package has shipped out & I have a tracking number from UPS. They will be here Wed June 2nd. Now thats supper fast shipping
  15. WOW! I just read the email from TKBoots. They mailed out my boots already & I have UPS tracking number. The boots will be here Tuesday June 2nd. Now thats super fast shipping
  16. Ordered my TKBoots today. I wear a 10 Nike running shoe & a 9.5 work boot. I went with size 10. Read all the comments about them being narrow. I know my foot won't fit into a 9 boot. So better to have a lil extra toe room during those long troops. Will post a more detailed description when I get them
  17. Ordered my TKBoots today. Can't wait to get them
  18. The Tanative IV boarding. That scene will always be etched into my mind forever. Thats when I wanted to be a Stormtooper
  19. Thanks or the heads up Vic, I swung by my local Dollar Tree. They had two hooks stuffed to capacity with small & medium gloves. I picked up a few for me & the Mrs's I found one pair in the "kitchen" isle with all the other dish washing gloves. But I found the majority of them in the automotive isle.
  20. Reminds me of the Imperial March by Metalica
  21. Thanks for the great pics. Im at the snap & harness stage in my build
  22. Use the E6000 glue. I found mine at Walmart. I also seen it at Michaels Craft Store. The tube at Michaels was a lil larger in size. I used one tube & had plenty left over to do my wife's slave bikini. When you buy the velcro,make sure it say's INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH Velcro. My local Walmart only had Ind Stg Velcro in black. I was able to find white Ind Stg at Lowes. It was a lil expensive at $28 a box. I have also seen it a fabric stores by the foot. this way is even more expensive than buying the box at Lowes. For the snaps your going to want to use size 24 snaps. You can find these at any fabric store. Walamrt may have them as well, but I've only seen the smaller snaps there. Or you can get them in black from Tandy Leather. I got mine on sale fairly cheap in a large bag. For the glue- Lay down a light bead of glue on both parts to be glued. Spread flat with a popsicle stick, let stand a couple mins & then press together & clamp tight.
  23. Thats super awsome. I'd let him have the big ego. He deserves it.
