New Boot Soles

Today I received some great new photos of the soles of the Superman Returns boots that are being made for me in Argentina. I think they turned out great! Take a look for yourself.

Those are fantastic! I tried sculpting some like that a few years ago and just gave up. It's a lot of work - especially for an untrained shoe maker! Looking forward to seeing these DONE!

I have been searching for quite some time now for the most accurate Returns boots, and these soles are amazing! Do you plan on incorporating these with the already awesome boots made by Superheroboots.com? I love what they did with the leather upper part of the boot, but the soles, although very nice, don't compare to the ones pictured above.

Derek, I'm sorry to say that I do not have these soles. The company in Argentina kinda dropped the ball on that project, and were uninterested in moving forward.

BUT, the great news is, superheroboots.com is working on their own upgraded soles that are just amazing. I gave them all of the reference materials I have collected over the years on the soles, and their first attempt was just great. They are tweaking the design further to make them even better in their next iteration. I think superheroboots.com is the place to keep your eye on.

Can I get a pair of those soles from you? I just ordered some custom boots
from china and I need to glue those soles onto them to make them perfect.

Kyle, please see the other comments for this post. I do not have these, nor do I have any for sale. Sorry about that!

But tell me more about those boots you got from China! I'd love to know more.
