Boots Find

[Jedi Magus]

Hello all, I may be a noob here but,
I thought for my first post i would give out a link for a pair of boots i found that may help some who havent been able to find a reasonably priced pair of boots.

I just ordered a pair, as soon as they come in I WILL let you know exactly how well their made. I didnt want a pair a pleather ones, and motorcowboy was way out of my price range, but i liked the looks of these. I went for the brown ones.

COWBOY BOOTS W/ CATHEDRAL STITCHING (about 2/3rds the way down the page)

Let me know what you think, besides maybe adding some leather dog collars to be more Movie-esk .

Hello, Jedi Magus. When I first saw the word "cowboy" in that description name, I was kind of apprehensive about looking at them, thinking they were "cowboy" boots. But after seeing them, they look pretty cool, and they don't look like cowboy boots. Looks like a good find, and I can't wait to hear about them when you get them. Also, post pictures if you add the collars. I'd love to see them. Whenever I get my costume started, I will probably settle for the imitation leather boots I found for $36.

You know, those boots look pretty good! They remind me of Anakin's boots.

[Jedi Magus]

Anakin was what I was thinking of too.
(personally, I feel somewhere inbetween obi and anie IRL, so my outfit may reflect a bit of both when done as well )

The only thing im not to sure of is the heal, but it sounds like a shoe repair should have no trouble putting a better heal on. I wear low boots everyday anyway, so im used to some heal.

I was thinking of just making a set of spats (some call them half chaps), but by the time u got the right leather, pattern, die, stitching, time and so on, thought this might be easier.

[Leda EmBorr]

Yeah, the stitching makes them look a bit like Anakin's boots.

[Seda Navilli]

Hmm, very affordable and they look pretty good. The shape of the heel is the only worry, could you make it flatter by cutting it?

Didnt anyone else notice that the site is called Blockade Runner? Looks like a sign to me

[Ani-Chay Pinn]

They do look good. The heel is a little high, but not outrageous. I would consult a professional if you want to shorten them. The rest of the boot is designed around the heel so changing them is not a small matter. And unlike so many cowboy boots, these ones don't have pointed toes! That is the worst feature of cowboy style boots; my feet just aren't shaped that way.

[Seda Navilli]

Heh I know what you mean, and I don't think anyone's feet are shaped that way

[Jedi Magus]

Ok guys,
I recieved the boots today.
very nice, full REAL stitching on the soles and boots.
All leather
Plenty of room in the calf for pants and my muscular 18"
calfs.
The heal isnt as bad as the picture looked on thier site, feels good walking.

the only down side i can find is, the brown is an off shade, kind of a purple tinge to the brown.
but should work well.

If i can, i still want to add pet collars to them, but, that may be last.

(both of my digital cams are broke, tryed everything to get them working to get a pic up for you, but no luck)

Boots and Me.

I thought that the stitching might be a little tacky.. but those boots do actually look very Jedi-ish. The heel is the only thing that I think could be improved, but other than that they dont need much modification.

These boots are awful tempting - I'm not a heel fan but these do look very good!
