Cheng boots????

Post by Tonka »

Does anybody have an inside line on where I can pick up a pair of Cheng TK boots. I'm having a problem locating them anywhere. Thanks

They are hard to come by as they have not been made in a few years. They do pop up from time to time on the RPF junkyard, and once in a blue moon on ebay.

Good luck.

No those are darkside boots. Still good boots, and better than CA boots. Chengs are all patent leather also.

Thanks, I guess I'll pick up a pair of darkside's until I can find some Cheng's. I have a feeling it will happen when a blue moon coincides with the winter solstace, during the first day of spring..................never gonna happen.....mumble, mumble, mumble....

If you wear size 10.5 you may be in luck. http://cgi.ebay.com/Stormtrooper-Boots- ... dZViewItem

Thanks, but I ended up getting a pair of caboots instead since darkside only had 11 to 14 left.

That's because I believe they are. Cheng's don't have the square toe, and a different mesh on the sides. Also I believe all Cheng's are patent leather so they are shiny.

I think your right, i got mine out and compared them and everything is the same except that liner that reads dockers size 44. Darkside's have no printing anywhere as far as i can see, but everything else is exactly the same. :roll:
