There are quite a few posts about this. Just do some searches and read up. All will be revealed. :trsuit:

I tried to find the boots that I got but I can't find them any more...if you have smaller/women's feet it's a lot easier to find (for red leather/suede).

Which is why I still have my black Jack boot style boots for my large clown feet.

I've been able to find a few good slouch boots on ebay for a good price, and the fabric comes out a nice red, not pink. You can try doing a search for "red suede women's slouch boots", or the like (even outside ebay). You never know what you'll find ^_^

There are cobblers here who have made shoes for clown feet and I'm sure the quality is great but I'm not in a position to drop that sort of money on a nice set of boots when my cheap ones still meet qualifications.

For level one acceptance it says you can use black leather jack boots......I have red leather boots already....just not made out of suede....could those also be use for level one acceptance until I can get suede ones made?

What about something like this? With the long robe, only the toe and top of foot is really going to be seen

These will not be approvable. If you are going for a red boot, the entire boot must be red. The black elastic portion on these is not acceptable.

Without seeing the boot, we cannot say yes or no.
