Bell[TK] Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Just got mine today, they are awesome! They're just a tiny bit "pointy" in my opinion, but there's good toe room. I ordered a pair of 8 and 9 since I'm actually an 8.5 I fit the size 8's well, the 9's a little bigger but that's OK, I will put padded insoles in them for long troops. **For those that have commented they fit snug on the sides, make sure to take out the thin layer of foam padding inside the boot, near the upper surface!** I think they put that there to help them keep their shape during shipping. I put on the 8's and said "Dang, these are so tight! Then I realized the foam came out. Thanks for mentioning that. I didn't realize and so was finding them a little snug but once i removed the foam inserts they fitted perfectly. Quote
Ripcode[501st] Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Got my tracking info last night. I should have my boots on the 21st! They will look awesome, once I actually have TK armor! Quote
dougefresh Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 My boots arrived yesterday. Very happy with 'em. Quote
Trooper Q2[TK] Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 I have done 2 troops with mine and have no problems. Very comfortable. I am pleased. Nice leather. Quote
Madmartigan Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Mine should be here by Tuesday. I'll still have the painted Chelseas as my uber-accurate boots. But these will be nice when I don't want to stick out. Quote
TK-7980 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 When he runs out, will he be restocking or gone for good? Quote
pandatrooper[TK] Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 I think they said that the first batch was small, depending on response they would plan for another order / restocking, in half sizes too. I was going to get an 8.5 but the 8's I got fit awesome. Super happy that i found boots, you guys have no idea... been going for months with a good chunk of my TK sitting here, but no boots!

Plastic Fury[TK] Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Finally decided to jump on this since I have read so many good reviews. They are fast, I emailed him this morning (Saturday) and had a reply in less than 30 mins. I replied with my shipping address and again, had a quoted price almost immediately. I payed with Paypal and just checked my email again and I already have a tracking number with UPS. Looking forward to having these for my TD, I ordered 12's this time though. With my Caboots in 11 (my normal size) I added the Dr. Sholls gel insoles but they made the boots WAY too tight. My toes were actually numb after a 8 hour troop a back in August. I figure I can use the extra space and add the gel soles again this time. Quote
Fox1196 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Thats great. im gunna buy from that once i get the money Quote
dougefresh Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 I went and trooped in my new boots on Sunday, and they were super comfy. The backs of my calves aren't glued, so the straps wanted to play "peek-a-boo" through the armor seam a little bit, but I imagine that will stop once I've worn them a few times and they've conformed to the armor a little better. All in all, big thumbs-up. Quote
james007bond[TK] Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 UK Guys, those who have ordered have you ordered one size smaller as US sizes are plus 1 UK sizes?? I'm a UK 10 so should I order size US 9 or size US 10? Thx (p.s. I can't believe this guys in California, I just come back from a 3 week vacation there!!!! How did I miss this post.... lol) Quote
pandatrooper[TK] Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 You probably want a 10 or 11 actually. Check some online comparison charts, I just did a quick check and it says UK 10 is a US 10.5 or 11. There's a good amount of toe room in the TKboots, but they do fit narrow. http://www.safariquip.co.uk/i_shoe_sizes.html http://www.i18nguy.com/l10n/shoes.html http://www.dmusastore.com/uk-us-shoe-size-conversion.html http://www.convertalot.com/shoe_size_converter.html Quote
james007bond[TK] Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Thanks, will go for US11 to be on the safe side..... I do have wide feet though.... lol Still can't believe I was in CA on a 3 week vacation and I didn't even logon to see this post. I could have saved the postage to the UK.... lol, oh well.... Quote
Wren Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Ugh. They are out of my size (size 9), but a new production run is due in 6-7 weeks. Quote
Rolf[501st] Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 Got mine US size 11 today, and love them. A BIG!!! A+ from here to the maker Quote
Ripcode[501st] Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 Mine arrived today. The 10's fit me great and they feel comfortable right out of the box! Hmmm... Now I just need armor! Quote
Laspector[TK] Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 Just got mine in today too. They do look good. I wish they made half sizes, my 9's feel a little big for my 8.5 feet but I don't think it's anything a thick gell insert won't fix. Although to be honest I don't think I am going to wear them until my caboots finally fall apart. No point in having two torn up pair of boots. I just knew how hard it is getting to get these boots, especially in a smaller size. So I wanted to jump on them while I could. Now, when it's finally time to put on a new pair- VIOLA! there they are, pristine, new, and no worries about tracking down a new pair. Again, these are indeed great boots. I will be anxious to hear from you guys that are wearing them already about scuff marks, removing scuff marks, grass stains, polishing them, etc. Quote
SoCalTrooper Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Just went to the site and got "Not Found On This Server..." uh-oh. http://www.tkboots.com/TK%20Boots.html Quote
SoCalTrooper Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 This link should work Ah, thank you. Quote
DEDEDEJr Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Sorry for my confusion, but how do I get these for 50 dollars? When I go through paypal, it comes out to much more than that. Must I email them first or something? Quote
mattastic13 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Just an FYI...they are currently out of 9, 10 and 11 sizes. And as indicted above, there is a run to be complete in 6 to 7 weeks. Now I have to wait to spend the money! Quote
TK5144[TK] Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Posted November 3, 2009 This link should work looks like the site has been reworked - I like the new name "totally Killer boots" Quote
pandatrooper[TK] Posted November 3, 2009 Report Posted November 3, 2009 Sorry for my confusion, but how do I get these for 50 dollars? When I go through paypal, it comes out to much more than that. Must I email them first or something? You should e-mail them anyways, to make sure they have your size in stock before you order. Also, because you're in Canada - the shipping will be slightly more. I just tested the Paypal thing, it works fine (if you're int he USA and they have your size in stock). It simply adds $12 for shipping in the USA. Quote
foggy[TK] Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 My pair arrived and fit nicely, especially after I removed the foam that was packed inside the boots. Quote
