Hey awesome build! Did you use a crayon or something else to color the lettering white on the scope? I read one forum saying to use a crayon and to then wipe any excess off.
Ah have you tried messaging him on here, he's ZhongVader...also, when's the last time you sent him an email? If you can stay up late, try emailing later at night as that would be morning time in China...
I thought I was spamming him too...but every reply he was very nice/patient....you might honestly need to email him again just as a friendly reminder...I wouldn't even FWD your last email, just copy/paste into a new one so it shows up at the top of your convo w/him...but also, i'd think thick socks/inserts would do the trick!
not sure how comfy the inner soles are...not sure how thick either. I originally purchased a pair of the Phantasma brand boots...unfortunately, they have a seam on the front...only good for basic approval..i ordered the MED size (10-11)..was slightly larger than 11, got the Dr. Scholl's inserts...fit nicely/snug...so I'd think if you order a full size up...either a new insert or thick socks should do the trick!
I usually wear size 11-12 US in Converse/Boots..I had asked him if he had US 11.5 in the TK boots to be safe w/a half-size up...he said they only did full metric numbers after sizes 11 but could find something to match me...I ended up ordering US 12s and will just use Dr Scholl's inserts if need be...but then from some of the reviews regarding their tightness...a full size up still might work out...and in terms of communication...I had to send him mltpl emails due to the time difference, but he did answer all of my questions.
Before he updated his site, they had no way to order directly from it. Prior to me purchasing my pair...he told me to just Paypal it to him and not to use the site's store as it was still being updated. He provided me my tracking number a few days later...my boots are en route to the US!
Francois got back to me yesterday...unfortunately, no US 11.5s in stock ...however, he is checking his email so he should get back to you as well JodoYodo.
well in another thread on here, i found out that Francois (Imperial Boots) is on vacation until the end of the month...apparently still taking orders but slower until he's back...I'm thinkin I'll buy my better pair from him as my return period for the Funtasma's will have passed...
purchased a pair of those boots...like justjoseph63 said, they should work for initial approval but due to the front seam..no higher levels...I'm now looking at purchasing a pair from Imperial Boots personally....
