ok, 8 moths ago i got a pair of boots from Caboots. Jedi style. I put it on about 4 times, the fauxleather is already cracking and ripping. Very poor quality for the price and we are not talking about the major overchage shipping cost. I was hoping to save some money but actually my advice is, safe some money and buy real and good genuine leather boots and if you can, custom made

I may be Mandalorian, but I use a civilized weapon

Sorry about the unsatisfactory experience.

Boots are the major problem. Many of us can make our belts and pouches but usually not boots.

And we are on our feet a lot at events and parades, so the investment in good boots will pay off.

I too got some boots from them you are so right not the best quality the zipper on mine came off and don't fit my legs well since I have LARGE calfs. I did buy me some custom made boots will be worth the money.

Not to be a snob but I'm glad people are finally beginning to realize there's just no substitute for a pair of well made real leather boots, custom or off the shelf.

You can not expect faux leather/PVC to last very long, or stand up to constant stretching and creasing with each step you take.

In my opinion faux leather/PVC boots are only meant as a temporary replacement, or for a mannequin.

well as a recycle freak, and i recycle everything before using the trash can, I just found stupid companies who make poor quality things who will finish in garbage.I know my anakin boots will not be 2 screen accurate but its all recycle. It a pair of boot of a friend who got himself a pair of custom made one.
