    BTW... 
    1.  I would use the more measurements the better approach but be sure to include that in your response along w/ what ever diagram you used.

    2.  I trooped day in and out through celebration walking all over the place with no inserts and these boots ROCKED.  Anyone who saw me there those were the boots and they are outstanding.

    Salute?

    So here's something new.. Reading the new Tarkin book and boom... Salute this and salute that... While it doesn't go into detail on the how.. Listening to the description sounds to me like a formal military salute to me

    Howdy,

     

    Rubbing alcohol will take finish off.  Let me catch yall up!  U have done about 5 troops in the boots at this point!! Folks these boots are OUTSTANDING!

     

    Things to know.

    1.  Measurements:  Follow the guide, follow the guide, follow the guide.  Get you measurement in metric and your boots will be sized accurately.  Effectively they feel custom made folks and I could not be happier!

     

    2.  If your going for the military parade style shine... you will need to strip these boots down first.  The wax coating or however they were finished will not allow you to get good absorption on the polish.  My first run at these had about 9 base coats with a day of drying in between.. the initial spit shine went on brilliantly but then ended up cracking and peeling... its the factory finish that did it to me.. so if your going to do do it right and strip it down first.

    I got 2 bar shine on the bottom.. *NOTE: you should always strip the factory stuff off first.... I failed to do this so it made my job harder*..

     

    They wear nicely so far and are comfortable!  Full troop time on Friday so I can tell how they wear longer.  Full review coming!

    Guys I will take full pics today but I am here to tell you.. These will pass and they are quality.  I have never seen custom boots available at that cost that turned out so well.  The leather is good and not patterned and it is taking polish very well which is something lower quality leather does not do.  I am certain these will gloss out to a mirror shine when I am done.
