Boot trouble

[sethb7290]

i have Condor Belleville replica desert boots, and on the right boot on the top theres a tear on the left side of it, it looks like the threading tore, and its dangling off the side, with only a few threads left connecting it to the speed lace column .

how am i going to fix this?

[Hawk]

Hand stitch it with dental floss

so put a lit match near it to burn off the wax, and then stitch it?

Becuase the threads of the poly-dura stuff they use in condor gear is crap the problem will just continue to get worse. You chose poorly, burn the area with a lighter and deal with it. Next time, choose more wisely.

Might I suggest getting some Danners next time, depending on the amount of wear, you should be able to send them back and get them recrafted. They'll even pay to ship your boots back to you once they're done.

just get some desert tan jungle boots, they're cheap and should last an airsoft life-time. at worst you'll have to resole the bottoms in a few years.

i bought them when i started airsoft, so i didn't really have the knowledge back then.


hey Malicious, do you know where i can find a pair of them anywhere, i tried Allied already,but they were going for 79 dollars

$79  Thats a killer deal for a good quality pair of boots.  Most Military boots cost around the 130-200+ mark.  I'm happy I got my BATES for as cheap as I did ($49 thank you to the idiot at the Bates factory who stamped the EGA backwards, you Rock!)  but I spent 180$ on my black ones.  Your feet are as important as your eyes in this hobby.  Take care of your feet now and they will not give you problems later in life.

unfortunately i dont have 79 dollars right now, i probably will in two weeks so yeah, if they dont sell them by then ill most likely get them

[Sergeant First Class Keenan]

I've seen them at Laradas for 30-40 bucks, you can try Papago park as well...... I normally buy boots (very rarely, I normally just turn them in and get new ones free, great being a soldier) at Papago park, sometimes at a Luke AFB.

OFF TO LARADAS!
