Jedi Luke Boots

[Ky-Wan Zann]

Normally I ma fortuante when it comes to boots. This time not as much.

I am looking to get a pair of Lukes plain Jedi boots, which are very close to what Han wears as well. E-bay from I have found only have them with zippers. Now I know motercowboy and Carlos Diaz both do great work, But I really don't wanna pay 300 cdn for boots that are that simple. Is anyone aware of any e-bay auctions for size 12-13 boots like this?

[Ani-Chay Pinn]

No, I don't know of any like that, but it's likely that some would come up. When I search for boots, I use various searches:

Brown riding boots 7.5 or 7 1/2 or 8
Brown knee boots 7.5 or 7 1/2 or 8

7.5 is my size, and weeds out the ones that won't fit. The word 'knee' will likely get you only women's boots, so that might not work for you unless you go for sizes 14-15, the women's size range that might fit you. The word 'riding' generally gets tall boots. Black seems much easier to find than brown in general. Possibly renaissance or other costume boots would work especially if they're used?

Good job lukes boots are a black english style riding boot then isnt it

Keep checking ebay Ky-Wan as its about the only way to get riding boots cheap.

Ky-Wan for now I am just going with those 911 costume boots. I tried to find a pair of quality ones cheap, but they are almost impossible to find especially without a zipper or even laces. I bought a pair of German jack boots, but those were too short. You could try German Officer boots as well. The parade style ones are taller and might work.

Last I knew paninthebox had made some luke(anh?) boots at one point in time. might want to keep an eye on there store.

Hey Ky-Wan. If you're looking to buy "pleather" boots check out the E-bay store Costume_bay. They're in Singapore but their prices are pretty good, you'll save a lot against buying from Motorcowboy or Diaz. However I must say I have a pair of boots from one of the leather crafter on E-bay and their boots are well worth the price, they make boots to the exact measure of your feet and in a good quality leather. I've had mine a year and they are my most comfortable foot gear to date. Another alternative is the Alberta Boot factory. Their boots can be pricey but they do quality work. Another place I've been researching is police uniform outlets.

thanks all. I'm still looking, might actually alter the ones I have now back to normal riding boots. and get a pair of brown jedi ones which seem to easier to find for my tunics outfits. E-bay has soem ok stuff but either too expensive or zips up, I'm gonna go with leather not pleather, nothing personal but I hate the way pleather looks. I'm even looking for han solo boots or imperial officer boots as they're all the same thing, see my foot is size 12 /13 so kind amakes that hard.

if anyone has any or comes across any please pm me or e-mail

He's basically wearing "Spanish" style black riding boots. Just like Han. The originals, in 1977 at least were german jack boots. The cheapest route would be to get some cheaper Devon Aire riding boots from Crazy Horse Gift and Tack, online, and take them to a cobbler and have them cut flat at the top. The Devon Aire's are English style with the higher outside edge on the top.

If you watch the Death Star fight between Luke and Vader, especially when he is up on the platform above Vader, you can see his boots have a slightly higher outside edge. Leading me to believe they are not German jack boots but riding boots. But it woudln't be totally necessary to have the higher outside edge for simplicity sakes.

If the Devon Aire's are too much then eBay and patience is your only recourse. Just search for "Equestrian Boots", "Riding Boots", "Spanish Style Riding Boots" like daily and wait until you find a good deal.
