Thanks for this. I would think the foot size would be the bigger concern

I put these 2 gems (lol) together a few years back, pre Mattel Andre.  I was never really sure if these trunks are very dark blue or black:  |

The Matty Andre had boots that were way too small to begin with. Should have been the Taker/Kane/Gallows boots. This was a chance to get that right.

Hacksaw and Bulldog work the best

I still think the best idea is to use light blue spray paint in the boots to make Afro Andre and WM 1 Andre. Buy a second Andre for WM 3 if you missed out in the mattycollector exclusive.

I definitely don't want my Andre to be any shorter.

Why not just paint the boots he comes with? Why go all "Sid from toystory" on your figures?

Awesome! Thanks for doing this. Im def going to use my spare DM Steamboat boots for this. I dont think the fraction of an inch Ill lose will be noticeable really. The boots already have the logo removed and the fin shaved down so they're ready to just be slapped on.

Thanks for the very helpful post.
I'll probably end up painting them, but this seriously is one of the most helpful posts I've seen in my time on the boards.

Great post, very helpful for those who are going to be switching parts.
Personally, I like the Kozlov boots. Andre often looked like he was squeezed into little boots.

I was thinking of E28 Big Show's boots(idk if it's accurate or not). I'll definitely go with Bulldog boots if his jocks are a royal blue.  |

I guess they just seem smaller than they should be, not as much the height of the boot but the size of the feet. Hands too for that matter. |
