Guest JDBKeys Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi all, Just after a bit of advice really. I need to make a pair of boots look the same as another pair of boots. There is no function to the change its just for the appearance alone The boots i have are these And i want the sole to look like the sole on these boots (or closer to the sole on these) Its the ridges im after really - any ideas ? Would really appreciate your knowledge where im totally lacking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 The pic in the bottomof the post resembles a copy of "Brothel Creepers" "Teddy Boy" shoes that I used to wear. The patterned edge was formed by what is known as a Ridged Crepe Randing. It was still available 12 years ago but who knows now!!! There is a sheet material in ceam colour that resembles this pattern made from what I call Gristle Rubber but the continental manufacturers call crepe. Cant remember the supplier though.

ironplanet uk900 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 these boots you are trying to emulate appear to be injection molded units. In which case you are on a hiding to nothing. My advice would be to not bother, there is no way you will get the same effect, you will find the boots are of a different construction and will be impossible to clone these boots to anywere near a satisfactory standard. Why would you want to take on a job of this nature, or is it a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 JDBKeys isn't a repairer like us UK, but she has helped raise money for charity in various guises I should imagine these boots are something to do with this! Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
