Well I THOUGHT I had my costume all completed, but it turns out I was wrong. I had a gut feeling my boots weren't going to fit. I ordered a pair from the UK women's size 9 in the US, but I think I'm going to need at least a 10 to 11. They are nice boots but I couldn't zip them past the ankle. I'm looking to get 70.00 shipped to the US for them. I got them listed on ebay currently. The boots: cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=9112437927&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:ITIf anyone could help me out with finding a pair of boots under 100.00(Yes I've seen the cheap ones on ebay and some of the links you guys have posted on here) I'm looking for a pair close to Obi-Wan's style. I would settle with black, but seeing as my color's on my fabrics are all light colored creams I don't want it to clash.
I live in a small farm town also so any options of looking into thrift stores are out of the question nearest ones are in parts of Michigan I've never heard of.I got a pair that WILL fit me! www.lbcatalog.com/lbcatalog/product/product.asp?referer=1&pf_id=39806&deptid=853&affiliate_id=017&affiliate_location_id=01&wt.mc_id=k40132

Sorry I don't have any ideas for finding boots. I got mine on ebay after many months of looking. Searching with 'brown', 'riding boots' or 'knee boots' or 'motorcycle boots' and my shoe size cut down a lot on the things I needed to look through. Were the boots too small in the foot, or too small in the calf? For too small in the foot, try this international shoe size conversion chart, it even lets you convert to men's sizes. www.i18nguy.com/l10n/shoes.htmlIf the problem is the calf, then the only thing you can do is make sure see a picture of the boots and know what width at the top you need; a lot of boot descriptions will have that.

It was the calf, I had the same problems with my Edward Elric boots almost, but thankfully I found one size bigger at Walmart. If I knew I could get a pair of black boots and try to change the color on them I would do that, but I have no clue how to do that... Deck staining them sounds like it would be funny lol

Yes, the ones Toss Bain sent are the same as from Easterncoast costume and ebay for about $35. $75?!? What are they smoking? The ones you sent the ebay link for $20 look pretty nice; I'd go for those if you can. Good luck!

I just got those boots in a size 7.5 and I love them. The color matches my belt/pouches/bracers plus they fit and are comfortable. ![](http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/JediBaja/Jedi%20Costume/DSC00901.jpg) ![](http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/JediBaja/Jedi%20Costume/DSC00903.jpg) Now I should probably cancel my BootBarn order that I've had since September ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png)

where did you get them? they look good! I guess my post wasn't clear. I just wanted to give props to the original poster for the find. I got these on ebay from a seller named keren912 (same as in the link in my previous post). She has some more of these boots on sale in sizes 7, 7.5, 8.5, 9, and 10. Looks like the bids start at $19.99 (shipping $10). I got mine for $38.99 w/ shipping.
