Tags Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Ok, boots always seem to the worst part of any costume... So few questions, what is a good base color for the boots and is there a generally agreed style that would best to look for? If possible I'd liek to use my combat boots, but if that won't work, I need a general direction to start looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tags Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 That sounds grim... Well it's a place to start, failing that what are acceptable styles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tags Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 What about something like this? Similar I would say, probably have to loose the bottom strap, but I think they could be painted white easily enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Something, that when completed, will look as close to this picture as possible. Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosi Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Wouldn't it make sense to have someone whip up some rubber greebs to glue to the arch area of our boots? It seems like boot options may get opened up quite a bit if greebs were available. Maybe even a complete wrap around rubber overlay? Slap some Shoe Goo on there and it won't budge! Maybe Acrylikhan wants to take a stab at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tags Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 I hate trying to find boots... Hmmm the CRL says white boots, but the pic is tan. Most people seem to be going with the hiking boot or such, though the black ones I found resemble mrbungle's more... And there is a slight arch effect though not as pronounced. :huh: :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbungle Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 trust me the boot is white with tan soles. it is dirtied up but it is white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tags Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Ok... Well thus far these are the as close as I've come... Any GBX I have seen other people using, seem to be a pipe dream. There are these as well... GBX, not the same as the others but they seem close. looks close to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I saw that, and I am thinking those will be my best bet. I want to clear them first though to be sure. Who knows maybe I'll find the pit crew ones.... one day. ;> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The zippers make me nervous, granted I only plan to wear them with my Kashyyyk trooper, but last zipped boots I bought broke pretty quickly, does the zipper in these seem strong and if need be, does it appear to replaceable?

Dude... I'm the one that posted the pics and that has a pair already. I have worn them a couple of times around town all day and they are great. The zippers are YKK so they should last a long time.
