The one thing that concerns me is the stitching. Thoughts?

Here is my contact for jackboots. Cost me $61.00 shipped. He might have a pair to fit you.

Unfortunately I'm a size 10.5, so that may not work.

There is a maker called imperialboots.com that makes jack boots for legion members. I would still give totls.com a call they had several 10-10.5 when I got the last 9.5 boots. It couldn't hurt.

I've tried contacting imperialboots.com twice with no response. I checked my spam folder just in case.

I called totls.com a call. Unfortunately the largest he has is 9.

Would the marching boots pass muster in this link?

I know that the jack boots look good, but I have a feeling those hobnobs will be a pain on long troops.

With the pebble texture I would say not. The best next bet, to get approved, would be to get engineer boots and cut off the bottom strap.

If these pass muster, I think I found what I'm looking for because they have my size!

I would say as long as they don't have the pebbled texture, most boots are a smooth leather, and are calf height you should be good.

Those should work. Another good place to try is a Army Surplus store. If anything make sure to wear the boots around and that they fit.
