Sgt Steve Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 With out knowing this gent at all, A good Senior NCO all way's trust and respect the report's /opinion of the troop's he lead's! Sent in my order/request just now. (and good pic's are worth 100 2LT's report's!) Update, read his email just a min ago, and he said he has only full size's at this time, IE: 6-7-8-9 ect, and that this run (his first) is close to being out. And that yes his boot is a tad on the narrow side. So I ordered a pair of 8's just to see if they will fit well. So if you need boot's get then now. Quote
TK1491 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 Okay boys, mine arrived today--so fast there was smoke coming off the box. Outstanding service from these guys...wow. Here is the Caboots comparison. Both of these boots are brand spanking new-TK boot is a 10, the Caboot is a 9.5. Overall I'd score these new boots a solid 9.5 out of 10. They are excellent. The color is a nice warm white, the texture is wonderfully matte, not glossy. They appear to be extremely well-made. The Caboots might be slightly wider but it is almost negligible--and I have a wider foot. I might change my mind after trooping in them for a few hours--we shall see--but initial trial feels good. I should say I had a thicker sock on too, so it will be even better with a thin sock. Bottom line: the width is not noticeably different imho than the Caboot. And one of the best things... THE NEW BOOTS DON'T SMELL LIKE THERE IS A DEAD BODY ROTTING IN THE BOTTOM! YAY!!!!!!! Sweet Jesus I havent trooped in a few months and I forgot that nasty glue smell on the Caboots. Have a look at the pics. The TK boots have the black pull loops, the Caboots have the white pull loops. Quote
Laspector[TK] Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 Those do look great. I hope he doesn't run out before I can order some, but gotta wait till I get paid tomorrow. Planning on e-mailing him on Saturday. What is the price including shipping? Quote
momoblamo2987 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 I just got mine today. Man was the shipping fast. I must admit, they are excellent boots. Nick Quote
Rebel Doughboy[TK] Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 Got mine today as well, I am definitly impressed. I wear a 9.5 and the 10 fits really well. I am really glad I waited to buy boots then these guys popped up. Talk about good luck. Pretty comfy too... 1 Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 These look pretty spot on and much better than Caboots. Can someone post or PM me who this person really is? My main concern is it's not a front for StarFortress, or similar. Quote
Trooper Q2[TK] Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 Paul, I don't think Star Fortress would sell leather boots like these. This guy is in California. I ordered mine on Tuesday and UPS will drop them to me Tomorrow (Friday). That is fast. From what I read these are not CABoots material. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 Thanks Allan. Still, I like to know who it is I'm buying from. Quote
Amish Trooper Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Thanks Allan. Still, I like to know who it is I'm buying from. Pm sent with what I know Quote
rareair Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Ordered my pair on Tuesday. As stated by everyone else, very prompt & courteous emails within 1/2 hour. Shipping cost was nominal. I received my boots earlier today. Very happy with them. The price just can't be beat. Quote
89Batman[TK] Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 troopersupplies@hotmail.com is the email if that helps. Quote
Obievon[501st] Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Thanks Allan. Still, I like to know who it is I'm buying from. As everyone I've read about so far has had nothing but great things to say about this seller and his product. I think we all just got lucky and someone actually cares about customer service. I know I'm still a newb here but man was I glad to find these boots. Now I can move on to getting my armor ready and not worry about boots that might not pass the 501st. This is the real deal, you just can't beat it. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 troopersupplies@hotmail.com is the email if that helps. Thanks Gary - I'm hoping this is someone I've worked with before - crossing my fingers. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Got it now - thanks for the latest PMs. Yup, this is a known good seller and it's sweet to see him offering up boots now as well. Great to see him making boots - if the quality is as good as his other items the quality will be superb, and they are more accurate in appearance than caboots. Thumbs up in my book for sure. Great find guys!! Quote
Ciscotiger Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Alright, I'd just order a pair with all the recommendations given to this seller. I am impress, so far, response time in about 30 minutes. Quote
Trooper Q2[TK] Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 well I have to say..This is a big step for our hobby. Quote

Who are you guy's sending payment's to??????????? Quote
pandatrooper[TK] Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Steve, check your PM for contact. I already ordered some and I've been tracking them. They've arrived in customs, should be delivered in the next few days so it's all good. Order away! Quote
