    How do you get the Cast-A-Way boots on?

    I just received Cast-A-Way Hero boots (not the CHIPS style) from David Lee.
    They are so tight, I can't get them on a figure.
    I even tried boiling hot water and tried forcing the boot on a nude CAW body and still no go.
    I stopped trying when some yellow paint came off the back of the boot.

    I know a lot of you have you them.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I love the original CAW boot (CHIPS). They are easy to put on.

        I feel your pain brother I need three pair of white chips boots to finish up a few customs.I just can't be botered to fight with these hero boots.
        I just don't like the looks of other boots.

              I did it! It wasn't real easy. I put talcum powder in the boot and pushed it on until the heel of the foot got stuck in the skinny part of the boot. Then, I heated the back of the boot with a blow dryer. Meanwhile, I pushed on the toe of the boot until it went on.

              I wonder if that's why some of the Cast-A-Way bodysuits have no feet.

                  It's the tan body. It's a little lighter than Doc Mego's brown body.
