So here are the boots that I'm going to be working with.  I'm obiviously going to have to cut off the buckle and the strap that goes across. But what I'm wondering about though is how do you all feel about the boot tops...I was planning on using Torso_Boy's tutorial on the boots, but was wondering do the boots need to go all the way up the leg? Or is it ok to just cover the boots with vinyl as is and keep them as 'ankle' boots? Thanks for any input.  |

nice boots... i'd suggest not to cover them in vinyl, but since they have pretty plain surface and are made of leather just paint them with shoe paint. it's a kind of paint that holds very well on leather and rubber. I used it on my boots (white on black leather+rubber) and they came out very well. And it's much more simple than using vinyl which in my opinion is easily screwable and could result in messy boots.
I love the boots anyway, now you need to make the dents on the sole circular, just use a dremel rotative sandpaper tool, just as i did!

Darthjen, those boots look awesome! Great find. Probably the hardest to get exactly right for the GM in my opinion.

Thanks. I was lucky enough to get find them after weeks of looking for decent boots on Ebay. BTW, they are the GBX brand that some of the others are using. |

Yeah those boots look good. I'm having a hard time finding a decent pair being that I'm a size 13.
