Hi, just wondered if anyone knows if there's a screen accurate, 501st acceptable PU (faux leather) Chelsea boot out there? I have seen FO TK PU leather boots on Jedi robes website but obviously these are no good ANH TK compatibility . thanks for any info. Cheers -
I saw that these chelsea boots are on sale at Kohls right now. They seem like a good possibility for converting to white, and don't have any seams on the front. There is even an extra $10 off with code. Of course, they are imitation, not real leather, though. What do you guys think? https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-2911525/apt-9-edgewood-mens-chelsea-boots.jsp?color=Black&prdPV=4

I’m trying to source boots on a shoestring (ha!) budget. I found out that the original boots in the films were dyed white. I’m not afraid to try that, so have now opened my search to other colors. I came across this Groupon link: ------ I have love-hate sentiments with Groupon, more towards the hate side of the spectrum. If it’s an item sold by a small business, it never hurts to call and ask if they will honor the price directly. Unless something has changed since I last dealt with them as a vendor (2014), there is absolutely nothing requiring you to sell your product through their website. Bypass them and you’re not shelling out upwards of 50% of the already discounted price to them. But I wanted to share: Discounted boots in the wrong color! Other than all the cons associated with dying, are these boots okayish?

I found a potential source of (black) chelsea boots, they look good from the pictures. Pricing seems fairly OK, and they are supposedly custom made to order. Could be a good source if you're in the UK or Europe and want to dye your own boots for the genuine look. -----------

Does anyone have another supplier that we can contact to try and get the tall heeled, chunky soled Chelsea style boots? We just checked NewLook and they are out of stock. Thanks so much!!!

While out at the Shopping Mall today, I came across these Men's Chelsea Boots at "Forever 21" for $39.90. ------------ The plus is that you could try them on. The price is reasonable for a replacement. It is within driving distance.Saving on shipping. The con is that they are faux leather. Has anyone came across and used them for trooping? Andy -
Hello everyone male, female and all in between. My very first post. I've been in the process of wanting a Stormtrooper outfit since 1978, yes 1978 as Angels costume hire actually hired out original Stormtrooper outfits back them..how the world has changed. £300 deposit was the fee and £30 per weekend if my mem...or..memory serves me correctly. One thing I do know and it's why I'm here, the boots are CHELSEA BOOTS NOT JODHPURS. Argument over. Also known at least in London 'Spock Boots' let the barrage of disagreement begin.

My vacation become true, and I started with painting my chelsea boots which I bought on e-bay for about 40$. Warming up with the SorenM topics about boots painting I decided to paint using airbrush. I have cheap chinese JAS airbrush with 0.3mm nozzle. The one thing I was not sure if the Angelus paint enough thin for the airbrush. But when the paint arrived I define that it is need a thinner anyway. Made preparation of boots by acetone wearing through three times. Also use 3M waterproof masking tape. Mixing the paint with rubbing alcohol 1:2 proportion I get the proper viscosity for airbrush. The first run of painting: Need to say that paint is not need to wait a long time to cover with a new layer while you are painting with airbrush. Yes, airbrushing take much more time then simple brushing. When you airbrushing there are very very thin layer appears, but it's dried quickly and you just painting continiously. This is not the final view. I want to paint more white to get rid of the semi-tones. -
What do you think of this one --------------- with the code that shows at the top of the screen - you get $20 off and free shipping. makes the total $59.90 shipped to me in the US. Is the rounded toe acceptable for EIB? Centurion? it looks much more rounded toe than the Bass http://www.amazon.com/Bass-Mens-Amsterdam-Ankle-Boot/dp/B003TFEVN0

Hey Guys, excuse the cross-posting if you've seen this elsewhere, been looking at loads of threads and just wanted some clarification before i buy any boots. Do they need the pull loops on the front and back of each boot like the ones in this link; ------------- Or can they just have the one at the back, like these? ------------- I plan on building the armour for 501st centurion from the start, so i'd like to avoid any unnecessary expense down the line by needing different boots. Im waiting to collect my armour from RS prop masters as we speak! Thanks

I wiped the boots lightly with some paint thinner and a cloth, not much, just to take off some of the shoepolish (they had been buffed to a parade shine). I am using a semi fine brush that fits right into the opening of the Angelus paint bottle. This is the result after two thin layers.

This is my current stash of supplies 1. Black Chelsea boots from Clifford James £19.99 2. Can of Brillo leather spray dye 3. Bottle of white spirits 4. Green Brillo pad 5. Rags I'm still waiting on my fabric dylon dye for the elastic part of the boot. Okay first part to rub the boot down with a cloth soaked in white spirits Wow that's a lot of junk off a new boot!. Make sure you clean everywhere. The preparation is more important than the spraying Now it's time for the green pad with the white spirits to take the shine off and create a better adhesive for the spray dye. One boot done. You can clearly see the shine on the boot on the left and the newly prepared boot on the right. Well I did the same to the other boot. Rinsed them down with water and I'm giving them 24 hours to dry. Tomorrow I shall be applying the first coat of the Brillo spray dye. Stay tuned. -

Still trying to find a retailer that sells Loakes here in Pgh on in the U.S.A. I came across these Chelsea Boots online at Sax Fifth Ave. -------- A bit pricy, if they are comfortable might be a shot. I have TKBoots and they fit loose. Besides the price how are these? Andy

Discount supermarket " Aldi " have chelsea boots in at the moment , at £ 14.99. (as of 11/11/2011) Theyre in black or brown , all adult sizes. They are a little broad in the toe area to be good Starwars replicas , but theyre cheap and available and better than the ones you cant buy Usually Aldi only keep a product on their shelves untill stock rums out , a couple of weeks at the most , so if you want a pair , be quick. Lets face it , at £14.99 theyre cheap enough just to practice painting white . -------

HI, Was rereading a thread where one of the members claimed to have found out the brand of the boots that was used, but he never wanted to tell ( as far as i understand ) the brand of the boots. did anyone found out? many people said they were on to something but the thread just died and no one really got an answer... not from what i understood anyways. whats funny is that my father used to wear something that looked similar to those chelsea boots but with a zipper on the side rather than elastics ( probably a real common thing ) ...i thought they were not really comfortable when i tried them when he had them...he had those for the longest time too... peace.... -
