Is this site acceptable for boots?


Recommended Posts

Hello, my name is Jake. As some of you know, I am currently working on joining the 501st as part of my senior project.
I've been looking for a pair of boots as it is the last thing I need.
TK Boots does not have my size, and Imperial Boots is closed until March. I need them relatively soon.
I've been searching the forums but haven't seen anyone selling any boots. (I'm a US size 11 by the way)

Does anyone know if The Stormtrooper Store's boots are acceptable? (https://www.stormtrooperstore.com/33,stormtrooper_boots.html)

From the pictures I've seen, they seem to fit the qualifications.
The site also claims to be used by 501st members, but I know a lot of places do. That is why I'm asking here before I drop $77 for a pair of boots.
Thank you for any help and assistance! It would be much appreciated!

Those look like some weird hybrid of classic TK (Chelsea style) and First Order TK boots.

 

While they would probably be accepted for basic approval I do not think they’d work for Expert Infantry for either TK.

 

I don't usually recommend this, but honestly, if all you are aiming for is a pair of boots for basic approval ASAP (this won't be accepted at EI or above either), save yourself $30 and get these:

(And use that $30 towards a better, more accurate pair from Imperial Boots.)

I made the mistake of buying those boots (the ones in the Amazon link), they are sufficient for basic clearance but not for expert or centurion builder.If anything, they might make good back up boots or good for the more rough troops.

Take your time and buy the very best first off .  Buy cheap/inaccurate =buy twice =money wasted . 

You can leave buying boots until the end of the build , so order from imperial boots when they open the next run .

The fact that they are not leather alone is a good reason I would avoid them.  Faux leather (plastic) does not breathe, and Trooping for here in mid Florida in the summer I would definitely recommend leather.  Plus, I know you are aiming for Centurion!  :jc_doublethumbup:    I can give you some more information in person this Saturday at the AP.

I know Imperial Boots are on hold until March, but have you tried contacting RS propmasters?  They don't sell boots per se, but do include them with full build commissions, so it's worth a shot asking them.  http://www.rspropmasters.com/contact-us/

Okay, I will give that a try! Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing you on Saturday!
