I has boots!!!!

Post by RileyBear »

I bought these from TB-8063. ( :sonofa: Cannot seem to get the image to actually appear, so here's the URL to a picture.)

NOTE: I posted the wrong picture, so am removing the link. Thanks for pointing that out to me, Mark. I got his Rebel Fleet Trooper boots...

Now I want to build a Sith around them - unless they could maybe be used for a Jedi (then I could play both sides of the fence [smilie=yahoovk3.gif]).

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I dont think you can wear black boots as a jedi. I also am pretty sure, you can't have buckles and all that either. Lol. Sorry.

I have a few pairs of big boots. They are so comfy!! Good luck with ur build!

I cannot see the picture or the link, but I can tell you that you can wear black boots as a Jedi (I know this because I am approved with both black and brown boots). I believe, if I understand the RL costume standards correctly, you could use them for a Jedi outfit, although I am not sure you could do the sith for the 501st. If you could, then I might need to rethink my Maul outfit and go for something easier! lol

I have found out (see edit to original post) that those were not the boots I got. The ones I got are shorter, motorcycle type.

I can still make something out of them...

actually...I had a New Republic Jedi approved in the RL...all black...including boots....you may want to check, but I believe black is ok for New Republic Jedi...now, if you were doing pre Jedi, black would be out...

I'm surprised you got approved with black boots. It says in the jedi requirements...
"Boots (leather, suede, pleather) must rise at least to the calf, but not above the knee. No rubber boots or black boots allowed. No visible laces."

Maybe whoever approved ur boots thought they were brown. ;P Lol.

Both you guys are right on the color front but ZB I've seen your jedi and know its old republic were black is a no no unless your doing one who was seen on screen wearing back like Anakin or Barriss Offee and there are quite a few more.

Now 8063 is right when it comes to new republic lots of black have been seen on jedi of the new republic just look at Luke wore more black then his dad did when he was a jedi.


So riley if the boots are black go new republic, hope this helps.

I have seen two pictures of Anakin with BLACK boots on! I don't know if it is the lighting or what but they are black...and I have seen two versions of his boots made for sale either in black or dark brown.
