Leather Clone Shoes, my own pair, IN PROGRESS!!!!

Giovanni for a guy in Ecuador you are doing fine with your English, thanks very much for the effort you are putting forth. I will be watching for the 11 1/2 size . thanks again. yes I have the straps already so you wouldnt need to make any for my boots at all.
 
Giovanni,

Wow, these look amazing.... I think there will be many people who wil buy these... you should also post on clonetroopers.net so that you can get some more feeback from the clone guys. It may be worthwhile doing this as they may suggest some additional tweaks/improvements...

Anyway, i'd be interested in a UK size 10 (which is a US 11)..

Keep up the good work..

Hey Giovanni, I would be very interested in any run you would be doing - I am a UK size 9.5, US size 10.5.

Great work dude.

I know how difficult it is to make shoes from scratch. The work you have done on this is superb! You should post this on the RPF and clone and TK forums.
 
Some pics to the eye enjoy:

Hello Giovanni...
I know that the last post here is from 2010, but I found you during my looking of how to make the best clone trooper boots and I wanna know if you're still selling some right now ?
I'm going to start the building of a Commando Clone Trooper, and this pair of shoes will be the perfect shoes !

(Sorry for my english I'm from Europe, Belgium)

Your work is awesome.

Franck
