Have you called them up and spoke with them recently? They could help you out much better that way. They did have a major warehouse fire and they are now getting back on schedule with things. I remember you from a few months back (comments below). I would definitely talk to them to see what their timeline is at right now. But trust me, it's worth the wait. I've been waiting for a specific costume to be announced for a long time, and I know when I finally get it, it'll be amazing..... Good luck and keep me posted!
It was the Destroyer / Rock N' Roll Over Era boots that were all silver, but when they did the Love Gun boots, they were black with silver on the details so they can be seen clearer from farther away in the crowd. So you're right, it's just the era differences. :) They also re-used these boots for the Creatures of the Night tour and promos after using the special spike boots at first.
It all depends on if they have what you need. I got mine in 7 days because while they don't do the usual "small, medium, large" for the boots themselves, they do have many that fall within those sizes with the leggings. If I wanted to get small leggings, I would have had to wait awhile, but I'm able to use the Medium leggings and got it right away. I would stress communication for everyone when buying from KISS Replicas, either by phone or on the KISS Replicas Facebook. They're great about doing everything they can to help us get what we need. It might be something easy to fix. Or at least you'll get some information. Realize now this Covid-19 thing has had many businesses cut down on staff and KISS Replicas is no different. Also, like it's been said, they had that warehouse fire. Not sure if any stock got destroyed but they lost a LOT. Not making excuses for them at all, but on one hand, we can't say "yep you'll all get your orders within a week!" nor can we say "be prepared to wait when you order for months" because every case is different. They're worth the wait! I've been patiently waiting for the Creatures armour, the wait is killing me, but I know it'll be unreal when it finally comes. Be safe, stay healthy!
I got em! Of course their awesome! I added a leather pull on the boot zipper..it would go so far down in the shell I couldn't get my fingers on it firmly to pull it up! All is good now!
@@davidmorton4936 Awesome! Congratulations!!! Something great and positive happening in this tough time. I'm so happy for you, thrilled you love 'em as much as I do. That's actually not a bad idea....I have long, skinny fingers, but still, it's not as easy as I would like. So I'll be following suit. :) Good luck and enjoy!
That's easy! Like I said in the title, description and video itself - KISS Replicas: www.kissreplicas.com The link is in the description too.... Make sure you follow the instructions and CALL them up to make sure you have the correct measurements for your feet. They're not generic sizes, you'll have to take measurements. These are high-grade, ultimate in accuracy and function. Good luck! Let me know if you end up buying! Tell them Jay sent you!
What do you mean "day wear"? Just walking around, going to the store, picking up some groceries? :P I can't really answer that. I don't want to be responsible for that kind of thing. I would ask KISS Replicas, tell when what your intentions are and see what they think. :) Good luck!
Good! They're really great, to be honest. I've tried all sorts of other options. Over the years I have tried the KISS Halloween costume boots and I have tried actual platform boots that I purchased in Manhattan at a specialty shop and the KISS Replica boots are of the same high quality an balanced as the real deal. I perform in them and have walked the entirety of the car show we played last summer, all uneven pavement and a couple bocks long with ZERO issues. If you respect the fact that you're in big platforms and don't try to run a race, you should be ok. Good luck and enjoy! Thanks for coming by. BCDP
Great review! I'm curious, did you have to order the boots in a different size compared to your regular shoe size? I mean, are the boots smaller or larger than your regular size?
Thank you! You can't go by your shoe size for the boots. The site goes into detail on how to measure your feet and compare them to the charts listed to know what size you'll need. You definitely SHOULD call up prior to ordering and they will go over the measurements with you again to make doubly sure you get the right size boots. The leggings are ALSO based on measurements even though they're in a "small, medium or large" category. The absolute best way to get the perfect fit is to measure according to the chart, call them, and then place the order over the phone, once you and KISS Replicas are satisfied. I can't stress enough how important it is to just make sure. It's worth the few minutes on the phone if you're going to use them to perform in, as I'm assuming that's the end goal. Platform boots that don't fit you perfectly can be a real problem, safety-wise. Good luck!! Come back and let us know if you went and purchased them!
Thanks for your reply. I bought the Demon Destroyer boots. They're excellent boots and really well made and fit perfectly. I did however find an imperfection in one of them. The right boot doesn't sit flat on the floor so it has a slight rocking back and forth to it. Do you have the same problem?
@@evel74 Congratulations! No I haven't found that sort of an issue. Have you contacted their support? They would be the best to talk to about it. They are all hand-made individually to order, not mass produced, but I would contact support to make sure. Do you plan to wear them for performance? Does it cause balance issues? Good luck and keep me posted! I'm sure they'll do all they can to get your sorted out. I've had great interactions with all the staff at KISS Replicas I have come in touch with.
I do plan to wear them on stage. The problem is the right boot doesn't sit flat on the floor, the platform was cut at a slight upward angle towards the end of the boot so it tilts forward when you take a step. And the heel was cut so that you're standing on the very outer edge. I spoke to David, he was very apologetic and is shipping a new boot to me if it's in stock. If not, he'll make a new one. All I'll have to do is swap the dragon shell to the new boot. I told David how much i love the boots and how comfortable they are. And I love the attention to detail regarding the imperfections he got correct.
@@evel74 See? They're just amazing at KISS Replicas. Dave is awesome and they really do everything they can to take care of their customers and KISS Fans. They want us satisfied and will do what they need to to make it so. Congratulations and good luck!!!
Congratulations!!! Took about a week or so. It can also depend on where you're at. They're coming from Canada so to the US there's Customs at the border getting in the way and holding up your packages. Good luck and ENJOY!!! Let me know when you get them!
@@davidmorton4936 Did you make sure to call them about your sizing and everything? That's an important step to make sure it's perfect for you and David will go over everything you need to know.
Thank you for the view and comment! Have you contacted KISS Replicas to see? I'm not sure, don't quote me on it, but maybe they can help you out? Let me know if you do....
Those things are huge
Ordered them in October..still haven't got them.. patiently waiting 🤘

I did call and leave them a message. My wife contacted them on Facebook too. Maybe I'll hear from them when the weekends over.
I never knew the dragon heads had so much black in them. I always thought they had a metal color to them.

Thanks. I'm definitely going to have to look for some Love Gun era pictures and see it for myself.
@@MeLoMax_Media ok
I am making my own version of Gene's Destroyer demon boot heads.
I would just say..don't expect to pay and get your order right away. I waited 5 months for my Gene Simmons boots.

could I use these for day wear?

I'm going to buy these boots

Well I measured according to the chart..I left him a voice mail a few days ago..he hasn't called me back
It didn't really say to call
I wish I could buy just the leggings because I already have Destroyer shoes that I'm happy with.
Thank you for the view and comment!

I have to say Gene's Destroyer Armor is better..
