Red Boots!

Post by Andrew »

Hello,

While searching for boots for my costume, I came across this website, hopefully this is a good resource for anyone that needs boots!

I'm going to say the WINE color is a little too much "PURPLE" for the shoe. Should be a "RED". Nice choice other though.

I saw this thread and ordered these.

Just wanted to check if they look correct while I still have a chance to return them if need be. Thanks!

I should probably add that I am working on a ROTJ style... orange cowboy boots, they are not :wow: .. but didn't know if the toe shape was acceptable? :trsuit:

I don't. :( Just bucket, boots and gloves at the moment. I am waiting on fabric to make those. My biggest concern was the toe shape. The CRL specifies that the red suede should have a pointed toe, but the black has all kinds of allowances listed.

The movie versions had red pointed boots. The Ep2 boots are standard World War 2 German Jack Boots.

You could just go to a shoe maker, we have one in my town, he is reasonably priced, and he can just trim and cut the toe part into a point.

I already checked with mine, it will be under $50, he was thinking more around $35.
