Jedi/Sith Boots

[Darth Midian]

Thank you for the input on the boots. I think they're pretty sithy. I like them, a lot

[Dakarn]

I don't think the shape of the tops of those boot will work, Dakarn. They just look too cowboyish. They look a little on the short side, too with the way they are cut down at the front and back.

Maybe if you could make some sort of spat or greave to go over the front of the shaft they might work.

But as is, I would say no, not if you're maybe thinking about doing a Jedi costume for the Rebel Legion.

Thanks Loreen - its my eventual goal to submit for the Rebel Legion so any boots I buy need to fit the requirements. At least I'll have some leeway since its a generic submission.

Time to find some other boots out there in internet-land.

Hey everyone sorry for resurrecting this post. But I thought some of you, (especially those of you who are as cheap as me) will find this an acceptable, less-expensive boot option. I found these at my local Wal-mart in the shoe section. The black boots have a logo on the side but I'm sure that could be worked around. I bought the brown ones, they look pretty good. They're made of rubber and come in child to adult sizes. They range from $17-$24 a pair.

Rubber boots aren't great for when you're costuming all day, especially in the humid summer time. They don't breathe and the sweat from your feet and lower legs has nowhere to go.

Boots filled with sweat are not what I'd care to experience.

That is a good point I wore these last year for Halloween and even in fall tempatures these boots got a bit warm. But I wanted to post them because they are affordable, especially if you have kids doing Jedi costumes. For anyone who wants a more comfortable, more authentic style then these aren't the best choice.

[Jedi-Loreen]

Yes, I understand why you posted it. I just thought I'd give my warning for people to think about.

These would be good for kids, because you're probably not going to want to buy them more expensive leather boots that they'll grow out of in a year.

If you want to get affordable leather biker boots, i found these at next. they go up to size eight, and are low-calf boots

[Jedi-Loreen]

8 isn't very big for men's footwear. And they actually go up to 13.

This isn't a very good endorsement:

WARNING: KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE

[galen marek]

thats childrens 13, one size below adults size 1. It's a UK site, it may be different to the foot measurements across the pond.
And yes, Fire Bad

[Jedi-Loreen]

Well, I guess that explains why the higher numbers were on top.

In the US, they would have had the children's sizes labeled as such.

I guess you Brits don't have big feet, then.
