UCLAJediKnight Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) Okay so I have been looking everywhere for Chelsea boots in wide widths. I have read that Imperial Boots and TkBoots run a bit narrow. I found these boots on Amazon, they are Rockports and they come in wide widths.------------------My biggest concern with these being accepted is the sole. I think I could grind the sole smooth. Also the elastic/fabric part is just a bit wider and longer down the side than on the originals. I would hope that these could be considered acceptable with a few modifications. I think they would be a great option for those of us with neanderthal feet! What do you guys think? Edited January 26, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
charlesnarles Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 Boots are another area (like the blaster) that need to be nearly perfect for EIB or centurion only. Basic acceptance can be achieved with any boot matching the crl, so maybe have a screen-accurate pair for picture submissions and strict events, and a comfy pair for general trooping Quote
UCLAJediKnight Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Posted July 27, 2015 The more I look at these boots the more I think they will be okay for EIB and centurion. I think if I just smooth the sole, pain the sole black, then paint the leather white white. What issues do you all see? Quote
