Hey Guys...I used to have my own Jango back in the day, and I had some Kenneth Cole MT Fuji boots (the lace up version to the kilimanjaro) which were probably the only accurate thing in my costume lol.
Anywho, over the years I've seen the atrocities that have arisen from such as ReinOne. And how the abundance of accurate Jango Boots just is NON-EXISTANT.
Well, for the longest time I've seen people constructing boots (SFP, Evolution, a few other subsidaries on ebay, etc) that just aren't accurate enough, atleast for TDH standards we have set the bar for.
Well, I know the biggest thing said is "If someone could just produce an accurate sole."
So I have been toying with the notion of getting 8 different molds of 8 different sizes of the Jango boot sole.
From mens size 6 to mens size 13. I will be asking ANY of our forum members who have a size in this range to allow me to take a one time mold of the left and right boot. No harm will come to the boots whatsoever that are to be molded. It will be a simple silicone mold.
I am going to attempt to mold one set of boots first, and research a castable rubber material that will be suitable for footwear and hold up to the rigourous enviormental standards of costuming.
If everything goes well, I will then get the remaining sizes molded, and will seek out a cobbler or shoemaker who is willing to complete the boot making process to offer more accurate Jango Boots.
So with that said. Anyone interested?
