    Nice job, very professional. Perhaps for the benefit of other users you could possibly do a step by step guide as to how you did it?

    Yeah I can do that!
    Ok!


    First cut off the Rubber Studs with a Knife.
    Then smooth the surface with a Dremel.
    Now remove the Insole!
    With a electrical drill make a small hole! Step by step make it bigger!
    The end size was a 7,5mm drill!

    The thing where the Studs are screwed in I bought them in a Sports-Shop (Sports Expert)!

    Then I pulled them in with a Srew!

    That's all!
    I got Nylon Studs and some Alu Studs so I can switch them depening on the weather!

    like people said on SP, you ruined one of the best colorways of the legends IMO.

    I agree that colourway was one of the best in the legends. I'm not quite sure what you were trying to do exactly ... did you want them to match your kit? As long as you are happy with the end result it doesnt matter what the rest of us think.

    I'm not a fan of the colorway... but I do think the strap was a good touch... Personally, I would have cut that tongue off!

    I think that I am yet to see one customization job that has actually made a boot look better - it is a bad idea in my opinion.

    Haha, I actually forgot about yours. Yours were functional and the aesthetic modifications were good as well.

    that was my first thought, nice job with the straps but cleaning your boots may make them look better than an elastic strap
