I just received a pair of Anakin ep. III boots from Diaz boots today, and I must say I couldn't be more pleased. Not only do they look more screen accurate than any other vendor's that I have seen (including Motorcyle Cowboys) they fit like a glove and only cost 205 bucks! I highly, highly recommend him to anyone looking for a nice pair of Jedi boots, because he keeps adding new types and has proven to be VERY open to suggestion about improving his products. Carlos was also very timely with email responses and kept me informed every step of the way. A great buy.

All of us over at COW (Crazy Old Wizards for those who aren't familiar) are working closely with Diaz to create a very screen-accurate pair of RotS Obi-Wan boots. He's been very accommodating to all of our requests. We hope to see some new prototypes very soon. If you're an avid Obi-Wan costumer, come check us out. www.crazyoldwizards.com.arMTFBWY... ~Darcu

I've gotten my accurate Anakin boots from him before CIV would start. I've paid $295 including shipping.

Here is a site for great boots. But you have to send very accurate measurements. If you do, you will not even have to break them in........ www.motorcowboy.com/product/ANIK1

COW was started earlier this year and has been going strong ever since. It's also been a great resource for detailed Obi-Wan info from all the movies. Now that the word is getting out it's really growing quickly! It certainly doesn't take away from the great folks here, though. I've seen several mixed reviews about the Motorcowboy boots. If you're looking for screen-accurate I would probably again suggest looking at the Diaz boots. Motorcowboy has been unwilling to work with anyone to modify his design. Some have had very good luck with them, but for the price, accuracy and comfort, Diaz is going to be tough to beat. Just my 2 credits. ~Darcu

For those of you who dealt with Diaz. What was his average responce time with e-mails, a day or two?. I sent him an e-mail and got a reply the next day on the 19th but haven't heard anything back from him since.

He's inconsistent. It's people's only real gripe. I have heard he travels a lot and it's sometimes tough for him to get back to people right away.

I ordered some boots from him in July. He had to remake them and then send them before they arrived in Canada in October. Then I had to send a cheque to a delievery place on the east side of the country cause they don't do debit or online payments...ummmm dumb.
When they finally got here I put them on, they looked good and fit in certain places well but the back has leather that's too thick and it cuts into my ankle to the point of ouch.
Then I treid a squat cause I do alot of dueling, the boots were very tight in the upper part to the point my pants looked like ronald mcdonalds cause they were so tight.
Then the zipper split as soon as I did a squat as if I was dropping into a move.
So I took it to a leather worker to see what he could do with it............nothing. Diaz said if the worker could indeed fix and improve them he would pay for the cost of that which I was fine for. H eusually gets back to me a few days after I e-mail him, Haven't heard from yet so hoping to, either a refund or he can remake the boots but larger in the areas needed.
I understand boots are hard to make but I also shouldhave to wait an extra month cause he doesn't use ups or fed ex. I'mn partially hesitant to ask for new made boots cause it could take another 3 months ya know.
These were simple luke Boots from Jedi as well, no Ankin or Obi-Wan mods were needed. But he;s polite and nioce to work with,m I just wish it could have been simplier
I'll be in touch with what happens

Ky-Wan,
How long did it take you to get your boots from when you received your boots have shipped email? Mine came almost three weeks ago and still nothing.

Mine wa s awhile he made them incorrectly last time and then had to resend them, then like I said he used a company I never heard of to deliver it. Once it got to canada I had to send a cheque for duty snail mail cause they don't do online payments so that wa sanother 3 weeks, O rdered them in july and got them in November basically

Ky-Wan, I wish you luck with what happens. Sounds like a real hassle you've had to put up with. Patience is one thing, but to wait 4 months for boots that don't fit is another.

I got mine earlier this week and I am very pleased with them. Mine don't have a zipper so I won't run into the same problem that some others have had.

Yeah he's remade them and I'm waiting for them to arrive and I told him I'd send the othe rones back for him if he wanted. I'm looking into getting a local guy to do my future stuff but it'll cost more.
