Appropriate boots for Shadow Guard

Post by Iratus »

:shadow: Hello fellow protectors :shadow:

The kit is coming along nicely, but I am currently looking into boots. Not so much finding them as much as what boots would work for officer's boots and what boots to stay away from. If you could provide links and/or detailed descriptions I would very much appreciate it. Thank you!

Funtasma Captain 100 Boots are an acceptable source for the costume.

Funtasma boots are synthetic leather. For the Shadow Guard you should wear real leather, right?
Any idea where to buy the EXACT type of Shadow Guard boots?

Synthetic leather is perfectly fine, due to some folks who choose not to use pure leather products.

That would depend on if you are wanting to go screen accurate for ROTJ. The red boots are more accurate, but the black ones are acceptable as the red can be hard to find.

I found a pair of red ones fairly easily on AliExpress. A seller was selling them for about $25-30 or so, including shipping. I threw in a pair of gel insoles and they are quite comfortable.
