    Batman Skinny Boots vs Superman Skinny Boots

    I've always had good luck in coming across Batman skinny boots but never a set of Supes skinny boots. Are the Supes skinny boots harder to come by or rarer than a pair of the Bats skinny boots?

    Can I see a side by side? Been collecting Megos for 20 years on and off and have yet to see a "skinny" boot.
    Anyone??

            Anybody got any tips for getting the skinny boots on the feet? I got 1 on ok, but I'm having a big problem getting the other one on. I was starting to wonder if they are specifically designed to go on with the stirrup outfits? My outfit is not a stirrup one. I stopped trying before I end up with damage.

              Do not try to put skinnys on with a footed outfit. You will split the boots.

                  The stirrup outfits were made precisely because of the tightness of the skinny boot. The mold was originally for an AJ fisherman outfit which had half pants.

                    Ok. Glad I asked. Now I just gotta find a nice stirrup Batman outfit.

                      I can't even imagine trying to get these on the non stirrup suit - I was really frustrated getting on the stirrup suit Go really slow and be patient when you get it!!

                        maybe carfully heat them with a hair dryer, should protect against splitting

                          Have you ever tried this - I never thought of heating them!

                            not with boots, but all sorts of other stuff... popping out heads and whatnot
                            just to be clear, i'm NOT suggesting this to get skinny boots on non-sturrip suits
                            just to get skinny boots on sturrip suits

                              I agree with that - I think even with heating them up they will split on non stirrup suits - They are a tight fit!
