|
 |
|
Hey all.
My fiancee is working on a Boushh build, having ordered the outfit from Clothears, and the one piece they don't have is the boots.
I was wondering if anyone has current links to boots that would be aprovable and available for shipping to New Zealand? Any tips or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance. |

I'm afraid I don't have much knowledge on vendors shipping to New Zealand. Have you found anything in approximately the right shape? I'm starting to learn that there are shoe paints you can use to fix the color if it's not quite right.

What Jenna said. I think it would be cheaper to change the colour on a pair bought locally than getting something from the other side of the world. At any rate you will be covering most of the boot with the halfchaps, so you can cover up a lot.

You may even be able to get boots with laces, since so much of the shoe is covered by the spats. Probably the best thing is to focus on the shape of the toe and the shape/color of the sole.

Well, I may have totally fluked a win on this, see what you guys think of this pair we managed to find:
We are looking at getting them either resoled or just painting them to make the soles dark brown, and the loose bit of fabric on the top was a sample from Clothears that we got for colour matching.  |

Thanks for the reply, and the link Lora.
Safe to say we're pretty happy with finding these after searching for the best part of the last year to find something, especially given how much they cost us.  |
