Boots

[fatbabies]

Hey all, I'm newly aspiring Shadow Trooper, and I'm trying to find an acceptable pair of boots. I know this has been posted about a lot before and I'm sorry to clutter the forum with another post, I just want to make absolutely sure I don't buy the wrong thing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Leather-Linning-Ankle-High-Round-Toe-Chelsea-Dress-Boots-76352-/121832087244?var=&hash=item1c5dc21ecc:m:m3k0IiStaTsCaVsWrlSKjMg

This seems to be the most affordable pair I could find that's my size (10.5). By my inspection it looks good, but I'm not as well-versed in what "right looks like," so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm going to say no because they lack the "u-shaped elastic sections on both sides" as stated by the CRL

[Griffin-X[501st]]

That's correct. Those boots will not be acceptable. You want something more like this:

Ah I see, thanks. I'll be on the lookout for those.

[Griffin-X[501st]]

Yeah, just keep the look-and-feel in mind. You can find that sort of boot all over and for a lot less, too.

If you want totally authentic contact TK Boots. They are awesome but only available in white. I contacted them and asked if they had any that were less than perfect because I was going to paint them black and they did have some discounted ones with scuffs and blemishes.

 

It also appears that most sources online have dried up like the Bass Amsterdam's.

Imperial Boots sells them in black already, but look elsewhere if you're on a budget.

Thanks everyone. I was able to find a pair that fit perfectly (both my foot and price) that someone in an earlier thread said were good and that just came back in stock, so I should be set.

H&M just started offering black leather Chelsea Boots which match the design of standard TX boots. Worth a go at $34.99 US

Looks like those are only in Women's sizes...

Where did you find them? Boots are gonna be the death of my dreams to join the 501st :/

These are the shoes I'm considering for my Shadow Trooper: https://www.amazon.c...=A1YWO6JWT2Q9MD

Let me know what you think!

[NitroSpartacus[501st]]

Those look pretty good. The only thing I'd worry about is they look pretty short in the ankle and the toes are pretty upturned so they may give you foot pain after trooping.

[Augustus]

Would these be better then? http://www.ebay.com/itm/361712578578?var=631024308556

[NitroSpartacus[501st]]

Those look good too.

[Augustus]

Given your warning about the ankles, I went ahead and ordered the eBay shoes from the UK. I'll let everyone know what I think when they arrive.

I just bought these. http://www.hm.com/us/product/35453?article=35453-A

Will they work?

[TheSwede[501st]]

Check out imperial_store on ebay, I got mine the other day and I think they do the job

I like to know if these boots are 501st approved for Shadow Stormtrooper http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alpine-Swiss-Nyon-Mens-Chelsea-Boots-Dress-Ankle-Slip-On-Shoes-Zipper-Pull-Up-/361829381163?var=&hash=item543eb6342b:m:m2c7FJvIPtJFSVPyWbLeZ_Q
