TKCaleb Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I am having one hell of a time trying to put my te rotj calf armor on. I bought new size 13 boots from the new boot supplier at TKBOOTS.com and they are wonderful, but when it comes time to putting on the shin armor, i can close it! what is the problem? are my feet to big? should it try to squeeze into a size 12 shoe? What should I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKCaleb Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 is that the problem? bigger the boots tighter the shins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Partly. It's because the larger the boot the larger the opening to put your foot in which makes the shins tighter at the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 The ankle area on the ROTJ shins are notoriously tight. It may help to tape up your boots tight at the tops to make them narrower. I had to do this with a pair of boots I had once. It's a pain, but it works.
