Will these boots work

Post by zorno666 »

I just received these boots and wanted to know if they are acceptable. The flash makes them look a bit more purple but they are crimson red. If the zipper is not acceptable, would they be acceptable if I removed the zipper and sewed the seam or just put a patch over it?

Can you take pictures in natural lighting and with your inner robes for colour comparison?

I'm getting new robes as well custom made for me. What I have is second hand and doesn't fit right.

In that photo the boots look more fuschia than red. The shape is correct, I am concerned about the colour

The lighting with my camera is screwy. Here is another pic. Anything need to be done with the zipper

The zipper is fine. Like I said, my concern would be the colour. That latest picture looks much better, but outdoor in direct sunlight would be best to judge for sure

Zipper is perfectly fine, I agree with the color and the lighting though...could be iffy depending upon how it actually looks.

The color on them are more burgundy in person unlike the crimson in the sellers picture. Zorno has to compare them to his robes once he gets them, but right now they look a bit too burgundy.

That is correct. It all depends on the appearance when combined with his robes. There is no guarantee that these will work as the colour is suspect in the pictures that have been provided and may not be approvable depending on final appearance.
