I periodically poke around the Nordstrom.com web site and search for "tall boots". You have to go past a lot of fashion boots with preposterous spike heels, but there always seem to be one of two styles that would look fine for a Jedi. I've never gotten any of their boots online, but I think I'll go looking at their store next time I'm in Portland and see what they're like in person.
The downside is that I've never seen any with heels lower than 1 1/4 in (a little high for me for a Jedi costume, but still OK). And even on sale their boots are often around $100; regular price is more often $150-$200. And these are only women's boots. I've never seen any men's boots.
But what keeps me looking is the fact that a lot of their boots have Wide sizes. And some have extra adjustments for wide calves. So, it looks like you could get a quality boot for a not-quite outrageous price.
