Cheap boot search

Would these be alright to use if dyed white?

Also, could anyone that has dyed their shoes white please share how well they're holding up?

1 day left. I don't wanna buy it and not have them be approved

I'd say those look like pretty good candidates. Certainly 501st, and almost certainly EIB, approved once you dye/paint them white. Look for jodhpur or chelsea boots with the elastic on the sides. I have Shires Woodstock Jodphpurs in black that I am going to make white at some point. I'm pretty sure Daetrin has the same (if not a few other members, as well). They are not much different from the ones you listed:

Good luck!

The elastic has to be white as well, correct?

[SuperTrooper]

Yes the elastic has to be white.

[Madmartigan]

Paint it at the same time. BTW -- just got motivated by your thread and picked up these:

I ended up being too late with the last auction, so how about these?

Eeek! I'd say skip them because of the stitching (inaccurate), the elastic not being low enough, and the tread on the bottom.

 

Unless you see something much better pop up on eBay (and I just searched and couldn't find any that looked right that were less than $60-70, e.g. the Loakes), I'd suggest you just get the Shires from Barnstormers in my link. They're $36 plus shipping and you'll know what you're getting.

Those last boots are bad...

 

[TK-7980]

I just didn't want to get killed with shipping from something overseas.

thanks for your help

Looks like Cat might be back into rebuilding his armor again, hope all has been well and good luck on your build!

[TK-7980]

Yes I am! And hopefully I'll get to keep it this time!

 

Anyways, I found a really great deal from here:

------

 

45$ USD, shipping included. From the US.

Sorry for the same question over and over but, will these work?

Would be nice if there were pictures out of the box, but they look about right.

[TK-7980]

Fantastic.

 

"Rubber sole with tread, pull on loop at heel, and elastic sides. "

 

Sounds about right, no zip ups or anything.

What about these?

Definitely nono, too bulky and big.

 

These are cheap ones and pretty nice, and cheap again: --------

Those ropers just don't look correct (the extra leather on the front). I ordered a pair of Shires that arrived in 10 days after placing the order. (In Hawaii to boot)

[Madmartigan]

... (In Hawaii to boot)

 

Heehee...you made a punny.

[spoox[501st]]

Meh! I ordered the caboots ones in a size 10 so they will probably be too big for me lol. DrScholls gellings and big socks I guess will do the trick.
