    The Awesomeness of the CastaWay Boot. }

    Hey Guys,

    Just thought I'd share How Awesome the Castaway Boot is.
    BTW... You can Hole Punch them,.. Paint them, add Eyelits to them,.. & Some String too.

    Sweet.

    I'm not crazy about the rounded over toe area though. At least for some characters. They look great. Now who is that?????

        I was thinking about doing the same thing. Those look great. Do you have a tool to put the eyelets in?

          These Castaway boots are now officially the coolest boots ever

            Yeah, they're pretty good but i'd still like them to re-introduce the CHiPs boots so we have more choice, the toe on these doesn't do it for me and look wrong for some figures.

              I'm also a Fan of the pointed Toe(Chips)Boots....that's why I stocked up on them. And No...I won't sell any.

              But the new Boots are cool too...just not for some Characters.

                Those look pretty sweet.
                Do acrylic paints hold up ok on them?? I have tried the vinyl paints,and they look great, but the color choices are limited and it's like 7 bucks a can for vinyl.

                  Wow, those are no light modifications!!!!

                  Customizing boots is a quite a step forward.

                    I'm hoping for the same thing. Characters like the Lone Ranger and Vigilante need the CHIPs boots. However, the new boots are better suited for most Superheroes.

                      The Aweseomness of the CastaQay Boot.}

                      How'd you punch holes in them and attach the eyelets?

                      They look great!

                      Can these boots be dyed with Rit and boiling water?

                      That might yield more color options than vinyl paint.

                      Or, I saw some spray fabric paint in a craft store.

                      That could be used for a kind of camouflage effect.

                        Is it really the awesomeness of the boot itself or the awesomeness of the customizer working on the boot

                          Good point.

                          Probably a mix of both.

                          I myself would make a dog's breakfast of that job. At least I've seen it can be done and I wouldn't have imagined anything like that could have been done so well to anything that existed before. The idea of a customizable boot is new to me.

                            Hey, that's cool! That would be great for a AJ or GIJoe custom.
