HITMAN Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I have Caboots for my TK, and I have seen several of us that have purple and pink spots on them. I contacted the company and they said that blemishes on Stormtrooper boots are normal. Does anyone here know how to clean them? I have tried various household cleaners, but these stains seem to be on the inside of the boot showing outwards. I am sure others have this as well, what can we do?

TK 6918[501st] Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 if you suspect its from the inside, perhaps try dying it from the inside? If its on the outside, you may want to consider sanding off the gloss surface, it will weaken the boots and probably render it unprotected from the elements, but it should better match your armor. There is a how-to thread on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVO3 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Best cure for the pink spots is to go dirty. Then, no one can see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-1287 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 You could just get some white shoe polish and buff it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
