Boot query...would these work? *need verification please*
Posted: Mon Nov 22, 2010 12:06 am
Good evening all,
I'm putting together a TR costume and I'm working on what has become quite a challenge for me...finding boots. Mens boots...forget it. At least I haven't found any that resemble what I would need. That's obviously left me with looking at every web site out there that has women's boots on it for my costume. I found a pair at JC Penny from St. John's Bay, but they'll be too small for me in the largest size that they have available (11W). If anyone needs them in smaller sizing than what I need, they are here:

Can anyone verify that they would be ok for use?
I have also found two other pairs of boots that would fit me size-wise...they just have zippers on the inside of the boots. At least it's not on the outside. The two boots I would like to know if they would be acceptable are as follows:
1. http://www.cowardshoe.com/product/Boots ... /36887.uts
2. http://www.cowardshoe.com/product/Boots ... /48225.uts
The question that I have about both of those pairs has to do with hiding the zippers. I know that no zipper should be visible based on the CRL. Both pairs of boots have the zippers on the inside-facing of the boot and I'm assuming this will be easier to deal with. Both pairs of boots also have zippers that are the same color of the boot material. Again, I am assuming this will make it easier to deal with. That said, here are my questions:
1. Do I still need to hide these zippers somehow since they are the same color and are on the inside face?
2. If #1 is yes, if I sewed a flip cover or otherwise found a tasteful way to cover the zipper, would either of these boots be acceptable?
If someone could please let me know when they have a moment, I would appreciate it as I don't want to invest in these boots if they won't work. Thank you a bunch for your time and I hope my boot discoveries will help some folks here. I know that it has been a huge challenge for me to find them.
