GosHawk[501st] Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Well, after sending a few emails and talking to the guy, he seems very nice and responded to my emails in a timely fashion. I decided to place my order as well. It sounds like they are located in California they should get to me in no time. Quote
pandatrooper[TK] Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 I just ordered mine! Finally, with proper TK boots I can submit for 501st / EIB. Quote

TK1491 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Looking fwd to pics from you buyers...I'm interested in these as well. Hoping they are a nice matte finish, and not glossy. Quote
pandatrooper[TK] Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 Looking fwd to pics from you buyers...I'm interested in these as well. Hoping they are a nice matte finish, and not glossy. The cool thing is that with real leather, you can shine them up or dull them down. With synthetic leathers (like Caboots) it's harder to do that. When I get mine, I might try to dull them down and try to use some different polishes / colors to make it slightly more cream / off white in color to match my armor better. Quote
Amish Trooper Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 This is actually the original vendor I got my FX from many moons ago. They were very prompt and had great communication. I look forward to getting my boots next week Quote
Rebel Doughboy[TK] Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 Just ordered mine today. Been talking with them for a good two days now and the communication I've experianced is excellent! Just my luck when Caboots ran out, I get this sweet real leather alternative, just in the knick of time I might add! Quote
Bell[TK] Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 I have sent my email and should hopefully be able to order my pair soon. I can't say enough about how well this supplier communicates and he is a pleasure to deal with. I have no worries about ordering from him. Quote
Laspector[TK] Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 What do you do-- just e-mail the guy and tell him what you need and he sends you back a paypal address or credit card information or what? Quote
TK5144[TK] Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Posted October 3, 2009 What do you do-- just e-mail the guy and tell him what you need and he sends you back a paypal address or credit card information or what? send him an email, tell him what you want, he will send you the total for your requested goods... then send paypal.

TK1491 Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 Also- if any of you buyers also have a pair of Caboots, I'd be really interested to know how the sizes compare!! Quote
Laspector[TK] Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 Also- if any of you buyers also have a pair of Caboots, I'd be really interested to know how the sizes compare!! That's a good idea. I would like to know that also. Seems like all shoes are different. Quote
sskunky Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 I just emailed them and got a reply within 10 mins! Shipping to the Uk is $38 Quote
pandatrooper[TK] Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 That's a good idea. I would like to know that also. Seems like all shoes are different. To be safe, I actually ordered 2 pairs. I'm an 8.5, so I ordered an 8 and a 9 since they only have full sizes right now. I figure I can sell the one that doesn't fit, or if the 8 fits me, I'll keep the 9 (put an insole in it) as a backup or do a TD someday (I would love to have a TK and TD setup). I'll let you guys know how they fit. I'm rather picky with footwear. I found that my left foot is actually an 8.5 and my right foot is an 8, so it's always hard for me to find shoes that fit properly. Quote
Amish Trooper Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 I told him I wear size 10 chucks and that they were snug. He suggested I go with 11 TK boots Quote
GosHawk[501st] Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 Chucks usualy run big. I wear 10 aswell and orderd 9's Quote
89Batman[TK] Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 I ordered a pair of size 10 boots yesterday to be shipped to the UK and have had shipping confirmation today- this is an amazing level of service, the responses to my emails have been incredibly fast and informative and once I paid the contact has been above that which I would expect!! I will let you know whan they arrrive. Quote

Bell[TK] Posted October 4, 2009 Report Posted October 4, 2009 That's my order sent in for a pair of size twelves. I can't wait for them to arrive as it will be one more step closer to becoming a TK. Quote
Ketariniii Posted October 4, 2009 Report Posted October 4, 2009 I may be picking up a few pairs from this guy as christmas gifts for some TKs around here with "less than accurate" boots. Quote
TK5144[TK] Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Posted October 5, 2009 The boots arrived this AM. I will take pictures when I get home tonight, and review after wearing them for a while. I am very pleased. Quote
PGHtrooper21 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 The boots arrived this AM.I will take pictures when I get home tonight, and review after wearing them for a while. I am very pleased. How do they fit? Do they run big? I am a 8 1/2 U.S. So I need to know if I should go with a 8 or 9? Andy Quote

Andy I am going to say they run right on. I ordered a 12. I usually wear a 12 - occaisionally 12.5 in some shoes. they feel great on me. Being leather, I suspect there may be some stretching, if so, I can add an insole---- these are perfect for me! Quote
Obievon[501st] Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 Guess what showed up in the mail??? WOW!! Yep!! Looking good to me! And a picture of my good friend helping me out fitting my armor. He just lays around a lot. Hope this worked my first uploaded pictures, if not I'll try again. Quote
