Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe
I dont think those are off the shelf boots in any case.
First I shall quote you, and then chuckle!
I HAVE found the shoe guys... I just wanted to make sure everybody knew it was me :lol
Praise me!
Anywho, I give you, Spiderman's new shoes:
The ıASICS- GEL Dirt Dog 3: A light weight cross-country track & field shoe.
The Red/Black/Silver scheme is what you're looking for, I got mine from Amazon... and they're not too expensive!

"Obviously... this means that I was right about the silver feature, it IS built in. I used the sole, and the silver accent to pour through shoe pictures online and ID the shoe", Tsuyosa said smugly.... haha
Regarding preparing the shoe for attaching the upper, it appears like it would be pretty easy. The cleats on the bottom are removable, and even though the spike holes are still there, it is rather easy to walk in. (They are VERY comfortable btw) I imagine that to get to screen accuracy all I'd really have to do is sand down the existing sole, and then put down a smooth layer of leather. The graphics on the side come off nicely
*Note*-I used a seam ripper... I would NOT recommend using anything else! The thread used in this shoe is very durable, and using anything else might be hazardous if not for lack of control of a different kind of tool)
I am uncertain as to whether the tongue was removed or not... I'll need to inspect some closer pictures of the spidey boots to determine that.
Here are pictures of my shoes... one of them I have already begun modifying.
.... And just to leave any doubt to rest:
