WEllis52421[TK] Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Any thoughts on these? Were cheap and they fit nice, figured I'd try. 501 compliant? No seams on the front. ----------- Edited January 31, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcott65[TK] Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 They look pretty good to me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Jay[TK] Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hard to tell without a side view picture of that elastic section. This should be U-shaped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEllis52421[TK] Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Yes, the shape is a u. Shoes are a little warped from the box. Wearing them, it looks ok. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haso[TK] Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I got some like those I'm thinking of turning into tk boots. They aren't as high as the ones you can buy from tkboots etc. Is the height an issue? Like will they come out from under the shin armour, or not?

TK1636[TK] Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 i got some similar ones for 28 bucks on evil bay, perfect for my TX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 The U shape in the elastic looks a little more like an upside-down V, but these should get you through basic approval after being painted, Will. My main concern would be like Kris mentioned... that they may not be high enough, and that after several steps they would pop out of the shin armor in the front and back, which looks awful.

WEllis52421[TK] Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Well, I'll give them a shot. They didn't cost much so I'm not out much if j have to get other ones. Risk/reward. I'll try the Velcro strapping method I've seen here if they are a little short. Just so excited to be starting down the path of having my first set of armor. My first step into a larger world.

BrinkHouse Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I bought a pair very similar to these and after going through the entire dying and painting process, realized they did slip out from under my calf armor very easily. Super bummed. Not sure there is a fix other than my having to buy new boots and go through the whole process again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
