If it's for the boots, bad idea. You feet deserve a comfortable shell. Better to use commercially available ankel boot or get a comfortable shoes and add on some leather/felt of same color to make it look like an ankel high boots. My boots, although cheap is still very tight when I put it on and still being broken down. But after a while, it became so comfortable that I can easily run in it! 
If it's for the shin guard, still a bad idea. How about using a commercially available shin guard like someone here did? Or how about a plastic/PVC pipe with the slits cut for you by someone. Or Sintra or ABS seems good if you can get them easily. I'm between using a commercially available ones and PVC pipe now. Remember that the shin guard must only cover the FRONT of the leg (aka the shin). Underneath the shin guard is a piece of White Leather or Vinyl/Faux Leather which also cover the top part of the boots.
Anyhow, good luck and be sure to post your pictures when the costume is ready!

Wow! The boots does look great! Can skip that leather/vinyl underlayer behind the shin guard too if using this boots.
Pity I got big shins and wide feet so buying non-standard size shoes is always a dread for me. 
On a side note, I saw a mid-shin high rubber boots at the Market yesterday that I think can pass off as Maul's Boots. Very cheap too at SG$9 (US$5) but I haven't tried it on so not sure if my dreaded shin can fit in.

That's the best part about the boots I posted above....they zip inconspicuously up the side! Easy to put on!

I am almost done with this costume. It was a last minute one as I realized I would never have time to complete the white desert one.
I am doing the "torn" version and only have to find boots. I have tan boots that match the belt but I don't think they look right. I will "try" to post a picture this weekend with the boots I own and see what you all think. The hardest part so far was trying to sew the bra in to the top. It still needs elastic around the bottom but that will have to wait until Friday.
I can't wait for the celebration!!

I am using a shelf bra from an old swimsuit. I am having trouble with the bottom elastic. I am trying to run it along the bottom and then leave the rest of the shirt hanging so that I can "rip" it after but I can't get it right. Pucker would be the right word to describe what is happening. I doubled the fabric so that it isn't as sheer as it was originally and I think that is what is giving me the problems.
Since I need to wear a bra of some sort, my only other option is to wear the ones that have the clear elastic straps. My daughter has one and it should work but that would mean taking out the shelf bra and I don't really want to do that.
My sister is a costume maker but hasn't had time to help me yet. I am quite sure she can get it right (hence, the wait until Friday when she has time to look at it). I will post more as soon as I can (or should I say 'she' can) get it right.

What about a nude strapless bra?. You may have to run the elastic in front and back, that may help. I'll have to check some of my shirts that have these and see how they did it.
Checked them and all of them have the bra in the front and back so they don't gather when you wear it.

How about wearing a Tube Top or one of those "sleeveless, shoulderless and has 2 thin straps on the shoulder to keep the shirt on the body" thinging? I'm wearing it underneath my Leia and Padme Amidala White Suits and it works well. Of course, I'm also wearing a White Bra.
