Because its top notch!

Ouch!
 

Thank you so much for the responses you guys! I'm really honored you like what I wrote. I've copied the tutorial over to a google drive document, and reformatted it slightly to read better on a wider scale, to make it shareable and downloadable. Let me know if you have any issues viewing it or saving it for yourself!

No problem! I'm ALMOST done! 
I was so heartbroken when my boots were too tall, I took them to a few cobblers and was turned away, I called every other cobbler in town and none of them would alter the boots, so I decided I had to do it myself. I know it seems intimating, because it was to me, so I wanted to make sure everyone else knows it's do-able! 

Step Eleven:
Time for finishing touches! I have two, both are optional, but they help! Please do this after 24 hours. I don't exactly know if there's any risk to doing this near fresh e6000 but let's just not risk it please? 

If you still have some fly-aways around the edges of your boot, despite waxing, you can take a lighter (long lighters are best) and VERY QUICKLY sweep the flame along the inside edge of your boots to burn them away. Do not, I repeat, do not hold the flame steady against your boot for any length of time. Do this in small sections where it's needed, and keep the flame in constant motion. (This is why the flame isn't touching the boot in the photo) 


Next you can condition your boots! I was given this wax to treat a set of leather armor I bought, since I already had it on hand I used it on the boots which had some bad wrinkles already from being walked in. I applied the wax with a paper towel in circular motions and it immediately made the wrinkles look better. 

Don’t feel obligated to use this exact brand, I just happened to have it, feel free to shop around! Just make sure you’re not using a hard wax polish in this area, it can make the bends appear worse!



Now it's finally time! You are done! Admire your glorious boots! Take good care of them and they'll last a while! 

Hey @7858. 
 
I first went for the link given by Kalak above for the auction. I was actually the highest bid and won. As soon as I won I called him, Mr Zhee. On this auction all of his standard sizes are available but turns out that for me, with pants the calf size was not 50, it was 51/52, so he mentioned that this would not be possible. He did have one 50 but he told me that this 50 wouldn't fit very well and if I'd go for 44 the shoes would not be comfortable. Well, I did trust him based on my experience with local stores here in UAE. So I went for this custom-made option. That's 250£ + shipping to the UAE 50£ (maybe shipment to Europe is cheaper, given that he is based in the UK). I ended up paying 300£. We started the measuring right-a-way and by the end of the night, he already had it all, very attentive and professional.

Sorry for the double post, but well.. @Kalak you are the winner! I contacted this store directly (I placed the bid and won xD), so well, contacted the owner and ended up going for the custom (the one @kman suggested). We already did all the measurements and this gentleman soon he will start working on my request. I believe he is a long reference for boots around 501st as he mentioned he has several "costumes", even some Brazilians. I saw his work and it seems impeccable. Thanks a lot, guys!

I definitely second the praise for this artist/writer duo . Their Bishop's Hand series is definitely a must read. 

Just read the first 2 comic series and wow these are amazing!
 
edit: I just read "Bishops Hand" and wow that story was amazing!

Just read the first one. It was very good! I'm looking forward to read the rest after finals!
