Can anyone tell me if these boots were be approvable for my Shadow Guard project?

Those look closer to a TIE pilot than Shadow.

The textured leather is not approvable for a shadowguard. The boots must be a textureless leather (or leather like) construction.

Damn. I was hoping that these were going to work. I figured since they were jack boots but oh well. Can anyone direct me towards a site with approvable boots?

You'll probably have better results finding a textureless black boot by searching for an English style riding boot than a jack boot. Same basic design, different finish to the leather.

What about these Stripes?

Often when looking at jack style boots dont look at standard model look for officer boots, they normally had better quality an smoother leather

As long as they are what is pictured, these should work.

Welcome to my issue. I'm a size 13 Wide in US. Not a lot of boots in that size for what I need for this outfit.

You could try any of these, if they're approved. Basically 45, 46, 47 soviet are what you're looking for, what they refer to as chrome officer parade boots. There smoothed sided leather and very obvious to tell the difference from enlisted ones that are obviously very grainy. 46 would probably be best for your size, now wide gonna be hard.

Yes the bigger sizes collect a premium but there all leather, but sure there cheaper alternative out there if ya want fake leather, just thought Id share the links for people looking.
