    Tnust you can find at Home Depot. Make sure to get the Metric ones. The studs you can get from online websites but sometimes are very hard to find. I got mine from ebay and used some from older cleats.

    Good luck

    Hi guys.
    I added a touch of gold to the mundial team.
    Do you think i also have to paint the midsole? Or leave it white?

    I'd say leave them white - they looks good like that. I think if you pain the midsole the gold on the stripes won't pop.

    Hey all. I picked up a pair of 16.1 primeknits for a $100, but in the womens white/yellow/pink colorway. Like these . Just wondering what would be the best way to black out the stripes and the pink accents? Thanks

    Wouldn't a sharpie marker be good enough to do it? Its not a super high contact area, and even if it wears off, its so small that a marker would easily cover over it again!

    nail polish might also be a viable solution

    Wouldn't nail polish crack? - I'm not boot customising expert but I'd go with the sharpie too because its so easy to recover if you ever need too. Personally I'd leave them as they are they are a nice looking boot.

    Ya you're right, I've been using them on my glasses, for some reason I thought it'd work on the stripes...stupid military regs

    So I did this custom paint job on an old pair of Mercurial Vapor V women edition. My friend (she used to be my assistant coach as well) gave me these old pair which are very small for me as well.
    Turned out decent especially that I had no idea what I wanted to do. I just took the brush and paint and started coloring.

    I have removed the crumbling sole off some FG diadora Brasils and am looking for some flat outsoles.
    Does anyone know where I can buy indoor soccer shoe soles?
    And what type of glue is best for attaching them to the upper?
    Should I plan on sewing them on after gluing them?

    Can't you just take the sole off a cheap pair using a heat gun?

    Hello people!

    I'm thinking of getting the Copa Tango 17.1 TF and blacking them out.
    Any advice as to what to use to do it?
    Do you think I'll have a problem with the compression tongue? - I'm not sure what its made of but it isn't leather like the rest of the shoe.

    Thanks!

    I've taken the synthetic stripes off of the Adizero and blacked them out. They feel really nice without the stripes on!

    Custom copa mundial. Predator inspired (red) with a touch of gold in the heel and laces.
    Would you add a elastic strap? Or leave it as it is?
    Also, do you think its a good idea to change the color of the inside part of the tongue (white) to red or gold?

    For me that just doesn't look right. Either do all the gold red or don't at all imo, but each to their own.

    You need to get a set of (red) laces! but those look great.
