Any thoughts on these for my TX? I know they're cheap, but the reviews seem decent enough. The toe may looks a tad bit too square, but I think they look pretty good especially for the price. Thanks in advance!

I have seen several others use these exact same boots, Cody.  They obviously will need some work, but should be just fine for initial approval once they are shiny and white.  There are a few topics on here that will let you know what products have worked best to strip them down and paint them.  Hope this helps!

I bought these for my TK : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PI2T0VK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

 

They look and feel great IMO!

Dumb question. What do you paint them with? Just spray paint?

You only need to paint them if you want them white for a TK. As you said TX, you won't need to paint.

if you look at these they have a seam down the top half of the upper.

So while they'd work for basic 501st approval they wouldn't do for Level Two 501st Certification, nor for EIB/Centurion status.

Thanks for the insight BadBatch. Darn! Well back to the research desk for me. I'm waiting for my BBB to come in and thought I work on my boots and blaster in the interem. I was hoping for an easier run with my boots but not to be. Thanks again!

Thanks everyone for the thoughts. These will be for a shadowtrooper so I will stick with the black they come in.
