Kir Kanos - Advice on boots

The more that I look at them, the more I wonder what magic material they are using that has no seam when manufactured.
"Boots: Boots must be red in color and come to a point at the opening at the top of the wearer’s thigh. Boots must reach a length higher than the wearer’s knees but must be lower than the wearer’s groin. They should have a relatively conservative heel, no visible straps/buckles, or ornamental stitching."
My gut reaction, having tried to make a pair of these and discovering one way to not make a SovProtBootie, is to make it an armored version that will be form fitting to my lower leg with a rigid rising section that will go up and over the top of the knee. Good to troop in, easy enough to make, and meets the requirements above. Another thought, which keeps me away from fiberglass fumes, is to do some cutting on a pair of fishing waders.
Any other advice you can give would be welcome and well received.
For the Empire,
Sirus
