the 23938 seams just more Jedi to me. When I first saw this, it only displayed 2... You posted before I finished my edit ... I was trying to get the pictures right and one link was broken. I understand your liking the middle one. I like the darker color and the more rounded toe of the Far right one ... We'll see how they look with the pants. The boots are my final piece I've been looking for, for five years. I feel the end is almost in sight.

Anyone been able to find a pair of boots that are 21" around at the top? I've ordered one pair and they were closer to 19" so I couldn't even get them half way zipped up.

Ditto here....I need a 20" calf if I plan to tuck anything into them other than my foot.

NO joy here ... I checked with Chippewa Boots. The Snake boots in "leather" are 17 1/4 inch in circumference. Back on the boot hunt.

Darn. So close, too. There's no way to get them modified? What circumference are you looking for?

I ended up taking mine to a local shoemaker and having them modified, He did a great job, and they fit really well both calf & foot. I got tired of the search after several years and decided that I wanted proper, comfortable boots for CIII.

In other news...LOL Just kidding folks. Well anyway, I recieved my boots yesterday and they are wonderful! I enjoy them immensly, and will be wearing them today to break them in. So as soon as I get my Jedi costume home (It's still at school from the project I mentioned in another thread) I'll have some pictures up.

Care to share the info on that "local shoemaker".....I may need to go that way...unless I can find those costume boots in my size....ebay auction for them lists the wide calf medium at about the right size........

Most shoemakers can do it, I had a lot of streching done and then had a cuff added for height, I started with a boot that was about 8 inches tall and had a top added, also had zippers added, because that was easier for me, I have a weird turn in one ankle, you might not need that, then had straps and buckles added as well just for look, I started out with a pair of Redwing boots that I bought for about $69 and added stuff as I went, so while it might have been a bit expensive in the end, I didn't pay it all at once, and they are great, I wasn't complaining about them Sunday night after CIII, not many can say that! Everything hurt, BUT my feet! I did check around with a few places before I found the right one and there was a pretty wide range in prices quoted too. Also, with real heavy grain hide, you'd be surprised how much they can strech it! I was amazed, but Redwing uses very heavy hide.
