I'm gonna have to look into that, thanks for the suggestion!I just start fooling around with my girth belt. The black strap portions that came with it were a little short for me so I took some old shirt stays and cut them and put holes for the little metal belt clippy things (technical term). The best part about it is that its flexible and stretches and its the same width as the straps that came with it. I saw somebody else do it here on a thread somewhere.
I've seen some folks use airbrush, the Fett in our squad used some sort of wash that he has to redo every few troops. I want it to be permanent so I'll probably go with the airbrush. I haven't really looked into any specific methods, though.What are you going to use to weather your flight suit?
I definitely want the most durable toe spikes possible. My ROTJ Fett squad-mate ended up completely removing his for troops since they were constantly breaking off.Definitely recommend hotpockets for the chest lights. He is the go to I think for that. As far as ammo belt delta and woodman both have good options but those are top dollar new.
Man of war is coming out with new high impact plastic toe spikes apparently. They may end up being cheaper than metal ones. Otherwise I think full metal fett has them? I think..

I'm considering getting some cheap-o 3D printed ones, putting them on to get approved, and then immediately removing them and not using them. I want to get some more opinions about how other folks deal with the issues with toe spikes.I wouldn’t go cheap on them then. I’ve no “trooping” experience with mine so far but just walking around the house and yard I can tell they are going to take a beating. I’ve already stabbed the door frame a few times. I think MOW might sell the metal ones that match his boots perfectly. Depending on what boots you have. I should know this, but it’s worth investigating.
Edit- it doesn’t look from MOWs site or eBay that he has toe spikes

That's what I did also, I glued mine so they won't break off easy.I angled mine up a bit. I know this is a general suggestion. I also added glue to them so they defintiely not coming off by wear and tare. It would require me going in with my knife and cutting the glue and unscrewing them. I can’t see them ever coming off on their own. What could happen is a break one spike off or something. Then I would have a harder time getting them off the shoe but I’m not too worried about it. You have to walk different and just get it in your head they are there.
