CUSTOMIZING YOUR BOOTS [2] - Tips and tricks here plz!

Anyone here use size 13 cleats?

 

Original Safari, New Safari and custom Safari (old mercurial victory)

 

Has anyone here swapped a SG sole plate with a fg one. Being bold and going for it. Opinions are welcomed

 

How do you even swap sole plates?

 

Cut precicely and paste with very strong glue.

 

But where do you find a replacement sole plate?

 

and where do you find how to spell precisely?

 

Take them off your other boots I would think.

 

Alex. In a world where people aren't robots and mispell sometimes you grammar nazi. And yes, off another pair of boots, just wondering maybe if someone had done it here before.

 

Do you even Merriam-Webster

I believe there were some sole plate transplants posted in past years in this thread. I thought a guy in Brasil was posting some excellent before and afters of his or a friends but I can't seem to find them now.

 

He doesn't have the step by step... but....

Here's my process for blacking out boots. Decided the watermelon stripes had to go on the Ace 16.1 PrimeKnits

 

trololololololol

 

Couldn't see them coming out that well. They look awesome though mate!

 

For the life of me couldn't stand the volt/canvas color. Blacked them out two weeks ago.

 

Going to blackout my old Magista's this week, anything i need to know before hand other than clean and dye?

 

Why did you buy them in the first place?

 

For the leather I assume

 

Didn't pick the color, was given to me as a gift. So not much I could do

 

Can you blackout the evospeeds?

Yeah but you have to keep in mind that dyes and paints are meant for leather. Once you properly prep your boots and remove the factory finish, painting with leather paint or dyes should hold. Just remember that the SL's are synthetic. I've blacked out all my ctrs and they were synthetic, helded up for the most part, plus majority of the color is already black so you should be golden

 

Sounds good, i don't wear them anymore tbf so wanted to try it on a pair i'm not going to miss if i miss up. If they look tidy i'll start wearing them again ofcourse

 

Yeah I did the same when the first time blacked out my boots. As long as you prep and take your time, they should come out good. Don't mind me asking, what are using?

 

Called Dylon black leather shoe dye of amazon.

 

Finished the blackout on my magista teal/orange red dots. Came out Ok for first try. In process of tidying up around the base. Bare in mind these where cheap and not used so was more experiment than anything
