Feezle[501st] Posted July 5, 2011 Report Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) --------- Stain them white and these should be acceptable right? Edited January 17, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
Jacob054 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Posted July 5, 2011 What would be the best way to stain those white? Any products recommended? Quote
Jacob054 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 Just bought one of them, size 10. We'll see how they work! Just need to find some paint now... Quote
Madmartigan Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 Get some Meltonian Nu-Life leather preparer (acetone based) to strip any finish off and the hit it with several coats of Meltonian Nu-Life white color spray. Make sure and tape off the edge of the sole first!! Quote
Stormy320 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 Why would TK boots be better than these? Those look pretty good to me! Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 I love my TKBoots, but I tend to agree. If you're going to put in the work anyway, just stick with the jodhupers. Black jodhpurs that have been painted white are screen-accurate, albeit they also require more maintenance. If TKBoots have an advantage, it's ease of maintenance - no need for regular touch-ups.

Striker Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) Why would TK boots be better than these? Those look pretty good to me! Just noticed Pasadena I went to PCC for a little while. Nice find guys, I hope the paint works out for you Jake Edited July 6, 2011 by Striker Quote
Stormy320 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 Why can't you just spray paint these? Seriously Quote
TrooperTim Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 Spray paint has no flex so they will crack. I've also had a problem with it never fully drying. It just doesn't work. Quote
geordietrooper Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 you would need to use a leather shoe dye like ( Magix Shoe Spray Leather Dye ) otherwise like tim said they will crack Why can't you just spray paint these? Seriously Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) I always use ANGELUS leather paints. and acrylic finisher. --------- no stripping required. just paint and then seal with angelus finisher. Edited January 17, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
troopermaster Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 How is that paint holding up Vern? Quote
Stormy320 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 I think I'm going to give these a try too. Thanks guys! Quote
Jacob054 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 Careful guys, just an FYI. I bought the one from that link and they're a size 10 in womens. I'm gona have to send them back. They seem like a great boot, but no where did it specify whether it was mens or womens. Guess I should have asked first, haha. Just wanted to let any of you know in case you were considering getting a pair too. Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Are you sure? I know they don't say it's womens sizes, but they do say they run small and that you should order one size larger. Quote
Jacob054 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Are you sure? I know they don't say it's womens sizes, but they do say they run small and that you should order one size larger. Unfortunately, I couldn't be more sure. It says "Womens 10" on the side of the box it it came in. Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 The box mine came in just says size 9. And they fit me like a size 9 male should. Not too small at all. Quote
Jacob054 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Good to hear Locitus. But the link above is for 10s and when I ordered from that link, they sent me womens 10s. I think they probably just forgot to label it as a womens version. Quote
TD-4189[501st] Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) I found some on amazon that look good. ---------- Has more size options than the one listed by OP. What do you guys think? Edited January 17, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
bobojuice Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 Looks good. Not sure about the quality on these things, but for 30 bucks it's not a bad deal at all. Quote
