^ Thank you.

I've been informed that the black boots I was planning on buying has been discontinued. Does anyone know of any good suppliers? I require a 10.5 size wide boot. I cannot wear regular width boots, they need to be the wide/extra wide type. I don't care if they are cheaper made costume boots, I'm only going to wear them with my suit.

Their jackboots are not custom made though, so you're at the mercy of what they have availabile as far as sizing.

I asked and he said he can't do wide boots, unfortunately. At least not for Jack boots.

I measured my leg and at the widest I'm at about 20 inches around, so I'll probably end up getting these. http://www.amazon.com/Funtasma-Pleaser- ... 26&sr=1-17

The cheapest custom boots I've found were $90, not including shipping. Seeing as how these boots are becoming rather hard to find - most stores I've found them on have been sold out - I'm probably going to go ahead and get them once I get my next paycheck.

If all goes well and they fit, I'll have the first part of my suit. If not then I may have to rethink doing this.
