Customizing Your Boots - All questions, tips, tricks here please!

those. are. amazing. one of the best jobs i've seen with painting synthetic boots

 

What size are they?!?!

 

They are a uk10. They're slightly too big for me which is why I have been willing to paint them in case it doesn't work.

You're right vanjory they are like the stand up speak up thing. They would have worked well with those one off kits they used.

 

Well if you ever play in them let me know if the white paint manages to stay on I might have to invest in some of that!

 

why is one sg and one fg lol

 

I have quite a few pairs of Pantofola D'Oros, and I'd like to just add my initials to them. What would be the best thing to use on the calf leather? Help appreciated. )

 

leather food

 

yeah, just put some leather food on your finger and then write your initials, simple procedure.

 

oh shit my bad i just skimmed through it. never mind lol

 

Beautiful, thanks to both of you.

 

Hi guys, is there any easy way of attaching elastic to tongues similar to the way the manias have it? I've done it on one of my copas but it took ages!

 

A simple way to do it, is just to print a piece of paper with your initials with an awesome font, cut it out and use a spray-can to paint it on...pretty simple, but it probably work

 

Ok, that's simple, and I do have a spare pair of the one colourway, so I can try it on those. I have spray paint and obviously paper lying around so it should be an easy enough experiment.

 

Which do you guys like better? I used electrical tape on the tongue and swapped laces to make a white/black adizero.

Black laces look class

 

I have a new pair of vapor VIs in the new elite colourway and i really like them more than any other boot i have, but our boots must be black for the team i will be on this coming summer. is there a way to black these boots out and still look professional? i was looking into buying the black and yellow vapor Vs but couldnt find them anywhere. any help would be appreciated !

 

So hard to blackout synthetics, asked here for some SL's too whjich i wanted blackout u could try go to ur local shoe repairer or what its called and ask him

 

leather dye wouldnt work on the synthetic would it?

i also have some exterior car paint...and spray paint...

any advice without having to get someone else to do it?

 

Well the only problem I would see with spray paint is a slightly uneven finish and it starting to crack, if you can find something glossy which would be.. dunno how to say it really like really.. ugh it'll sound werid but think hard and you'll understand! Moist. Or like something glossy or you could just create your own sort of mixture maybe, add a tiny bit of oil to prevent cracking, but some cheap boots and experiment

 

someone used radiator paint or something lol and they said it didnt crack.

 

dont even try it. those are beautiful boots. buy a different pair of boots or im sure someone would trade you a pair of world cup VI vapors for black Vs

 

Yeah radiator paint seems perfect because if it gets hot enough for a radiator and it won't crack, it probably won't crack on flxeing, make sure to get a glossy one though haha!

 

AGREED!!!

Plus they are expensive boots. You don't want to be experimenting with them. Nike are releasing a black/yellow-orange colour in the Vapor 6s so just get something else until they come out. And then you can get some vinyl to black out the tick. Much easier.

Oh and your league rules SUCK by the way. Whats all that about? I'd tell them to faff off.

for some teams like the manchester united junior teams, they make you wear black boots so that you dont buy flashy boots and get cocky. something like that

 

my high school coach was the same way, you had to wear black boots, they could have a logo but that was the only color you were allowed to have.
