Anyone have a custom TK boot source?

Greets!

 

I know the goal is usually to seek out a maker/retailer who makes a great accurate product at an inexpensive price point (thanks TK Boots!), but I am trying to find a maker who might be willing to make accurate TK boots in other colors (specifically red for the Magma Trooper). As demand for 'off-color' TK boots is probably too low to spur a mass run, I expect to have to pay for a unique pair.

 

If anyone has had success with a custom boot maker, please drop me a line or chime in here.

 

Safe Troopin'!

I've heard of TX builders who bought a standard set of white TK boots and had them dyed black. You may be able to do the same, except red of course.

I would suggest dyeing as well. I can pretty much guarantee that even TK boots has to order a minimum from whoever their supplier/manufacturer is.

I figured that painting/staining the white TK boots was the most common solution for accuracy. Then again, with all the resourcefulness of this costuming community, I thought it was quite possible someone had success commissioning some colored boots..

 

Thanks all for your responses.
