longboard8 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Seems like we could hook up a good boot manufacturer with this business. Nocona boots now makes mostly baseball gloves, but I wouldn't be surprised if they'd take on this business. Need a good ol boy with a plan, however.

stormtrooper_build Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 if your feet are small enough to fit a 8 or a 9 then maybe these boots could be ok to use with just a small amount of painting to do to them etc. until you can get your hands on a pare of TK one's. just a thought...

xorex[501st] Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hi all, From what I can gather here, CABoots is not recommended (innacurate and expensive). As for TKBoots, he is almost out of sizes. I wear size 8 1/2 Pumas. What would be the best size from TKBoots? thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SorenM[TK] Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Are these accurate? Looks like it, but they only go up to womens size 9, and more importantly, they are made of plastic through and through, probably won't last, and I doubt they are comfortable to wear...just my 2 cents...

Black Wolf[TK] Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 And remember, a womens size 9UK is around a mens size 7UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longboard8 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 People still wear Pumas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troopscoop[TK] Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Pumas are pretty legit. I have some brown suede romas that have lasted since 2006! I contacted TK Boots back in July and August--quoted 6 weeks both times. Inventory issues I suppose =/Wish there were another source. It's not very fashionable to be sporting my Nike golf shoes w/ my suit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capttripps Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I got word today from TKBoots.com that they will be getting boots in about ten days, and at that will start filling the back orders. They also said that they do not have enough coming in on this shipment to fill all the back orders so we will still be waiting for boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Sarge Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 These Landsend Boots seem pretty close to the CRL in both Style and Shape. http://www.landsend.com/products/school-uniform-mens-fulton-chelsea-boots/id_242654 You have to paint them with leather paint or spray paint. But thats not a difficult task just mask the soles and paint the rest. I just got a pair from here and picked up some leather paint from Angelus http://angelusdirect.com/pages/faq. You can also by prep and finisher from them. takes about 4 oz. of paint to do a pair of boots with a little left over after 2 to 3 light coats. and they will look pretty realistic. There are some good boot painting and weathering tips over at MEPD.net All the Sandtroopers are pretty good with painting and weathering as most of their gear requires it.
