prode1[TK] Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) Boot question ---What would you do? I contacted CA boots today because they are out of my size 8 and 8.5 They do have 9 in stock though --- They will not have the others in stock for 2 - 3 months If I order the 9's and they don't fit i can't return them. My Tk should be done next month (need to get three items canvass belt that is on order, skullworx and boots) Do I buy the 9's (I heard they run small anyway) or wait and hope they come in stock and fit properly? Pls respond Edited May 15, 2008 by prode1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pls respond Hi Peter Sorry to hear about your dilemma.I don't think going one size up will matter too much. As an alternative, you could go the authentic route and buy a nice pair of Jodhpur / Chelsea boots and dye them. I've attatched a link, but I saw a pair on the big auction site the other day for £14 brand new and boxed. I think you'll be supprised at just how well they look when finished, plus you're getting a more screen accurate look at less than half the price If you're not sure of how to prepare or dye your boots then TK300 as a great tutorial on his site that takes you through it step by step. <a href="http://www.tonybarnett.plus.com/boots.html" target="_blank">http://www.tonybarnett.plus.com/boots.html</a> <a href="http://www.barnstormers.co.uk/acatalog/SHI...HPUR_BOOTS.html" target="_blank">http://www.barnstormers.co.uk/acatalog/SHI...HPUR_BOOTS.html</a> Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiyotei[TK] Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I have not found that the CAboots run small. I have wide feet and they fit me fine. Since it will be month before you are done I would just wait. Who knows you may run into some issues and get delayed in finishing your armor.

firebladejedi[TK] Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I think the caboots run a bit on the large side if anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-MAC Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I think the caboots run a bit on the large side if anything. Me to, i bought a size 12 US I'm 11 UK but when i walk there's this rattling sound, but then again it could just be all the loose change in my pockets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK1491 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I think the caboots run a bit on the large side if anything. me too. I have a 9.5 and they are nice and roomy...almost feel like a generous 10. I have slightly wide feet as well. now if I could only do something about that glue smell...

TK8114[TK] Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Also remember that you're going to want extra room for insoles. I know I've seen some people recommend dual pairs of insoles for your boots regardless so that will help eat up extra wiggle room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-9820 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I just ordered my size 9 Caboots on May 20th. Any idea how long it will take for me to receive them in California assuming the size is in stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prode1[TK] Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Thanks for all who replied -- someone in my garrison said there was 8.5 boots available and ordered them on SAT afternoon from CAboots -- They came UPS Thurs Afternoon -- assuming they shipped Monday it took about 4 days.

Murray1134[501st] Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Has anyone else had delays in shipping from CABoots? I ordered a pair of boots on the second of this month and I have yet to hear anything from them about it. The order is listed as pending. I know it's only been 4 days. I'm just really impatient because they are the last big thing I need before I can submit my application for the Legion. I was just curious about others experiences and if this seems normal. Edit: Disregard this. Received mine today from CABoots. The communication left a little to be desired, but the time frame was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 dont forget about the Vietnamese orphans. I hear thats a quality boot AND its for a good cause. My next pair will come from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
