New place to get trooper boots
Well after spending the day at the 2002 Halloween and Party Trade show in Rosemont, IL I am happy to say we have a new place to get trooper boots.<br><br>www.caboots.com<br><br>They do not list them on the site yet, but they did have them at the show and they look great!<br>They have full and half sizes starting at size 8 and up to size 14.<br>And best part is they are only $80.00<br><br>Below are the pics of the www.caboots.com boot on left and the www.mariachiconnection.com boot on right.<br><br><img src="http://members.aol.com/troopertk118/front.jpg"> <img src="http://members.aol.com/troopertk118/sid ... ><br>These caboots are FAR better. The mariachi boots were about 1 1/2 sizes too big. I ordered a 9 1/2 and they fit like an 11.<br>The soles on the CAboots are also MUCH better. They are thicker and much more comfortable.<br>The CABoots are also have taller uppers, so they don't pop out from under the shin pieces like the Mariachi ones do. Not to mention the Mariachi also have those funny sewn on leather strips on the black "U" part, The CABoots have white elastic in the "U".<br>The CABoots also have a much better shape to them than the maraichi boots. Not to mention the Maraichi boots make it look like your toes curl upward! LOL (see pic).<br><br>The only thing I wish was different is the triangle seem on the inner side on the boot. (see pic). Would have looked better if the seems would have been at the bottom of the "U".<br><br>The CABoots are $80.00 and the Mariachis are $65.00 and you also have the Chang boots at about $95 to $125<br><br>I would recommend CABoots over the Mariachi boots.<br><br><br> <p><font color="red"><h2><b>TK-118 out</b></h2></font><br><center><a href="http://www.tk118.com"><img src="http://members.aol.com/troopertk118/118 ... a><br>"Who is this?

Re: New place to get trooper boots
YES! I got them today!<br><br>Look good, A bit narrow, but should stretch the small bit I need it to after wearing them a while.<br>Nice height, should be no problem slipping out from under the shin pieces.<br>I'll have pics up soon! <p><font color="red"><h2><b>TK-118 out</b></h2></font><br><center><a href="http://www.tk118.com"><img src="http://members.aol.com/troopertk118/118 ... a><br>"Who is this?

Re: New place to get trooper boots
Caboots is now offering Factory Defects for $40!!! Contact them to see what kind of blemishes there are in your size prior to ordering. These would be perfect for Sandtroopers! Just thought you'd want to know.<br><br>–Jim<br><br>They just raised the FD's to $50 plus $10 shipping. <p>–DarienVader"Fear is my ally."</p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub76.ezboard.com/udarienvader.s ... enVader</A> at: 4/2/02 9:37:06 am<br></i>
