Anakin Boots

Hey everyone, I just received my pair of Anakin boots yesterday, and am very happy with the results.
Here's a few pics:

The pictures aren't the best, but the boots are really awesome. I won't mention where I got them, but you can contact me if you really want to know.
This isn't really important, I'm just really happy with my purchase, and wanted to show 'em off and brag a little...

 

Those are some sweet boots! I have a pair of that guys Obi-Wan boots from a year and a half ago (he's revised his Obi-Wan design since then). His stuff is pricy ($250-$300) but his boots are the best money can buy. I've never worn my costume and not recieved a complement on the boots.

 

I agree, his stuff is pretty expensive, but (to me) definitely worth the price.

I can't wait to wear them around. I received compliments all the time on my other boots, which I thought looked really bad (they were just short motorcycle boots with homemade tops).

 

Pretty nice. The few details off are minor but I am personally waiting on mine which should be here next week sometime and much more accurate

Nice buy

You have a PM dave

 

The boots mentioned are hand-made to the customer's measurements and are fairly accurate reproductions of Star Wars (or other TV shows/movies) boots. That is why they cost so much.

Here in the US, $100 buys you some excellent, generic leather riding boots, but the lowest I have ever seen on hand-made replica boots is $200.

If you can find some boots like those for $100 pleease PM me ASAP!

 

Exactly as JediToren said, they're custom made to your measurements, which was necessary for me. It is nearly impossible to find tall boots in a size 14 .

 

Don't let the secret out too much, Grimby. If people found out that they could get boots like that for a mere $100, your friend would get swamped with more order requests then he/she could ever fill. I've seen this happen to many a dealer, where they get involved in too many projects or offer something that too many people want and end up with allot of outstanding orders and lots of angry customers. EDC Studios comes to mind.

Just be careful that he/she never accepts money for more orders than they can fill in a reasonable ammount of time. If you get a bad rep. in the prop/costume replication community, you'll probably never be able to shake it.

If the $100 boots are of similar quality to the other boot makers, they may end up lowering their prices to stay competetive.

Keep me posted, please.

Just out of curiosity, how come it can be done for so much less in Korea? Is the leather real cheap there?

 

i don't know if anyone has tried <link removed> but they have really nice boots. the prices are high but well worth it.

Jurist edit: What the wookie said

 

Yes that is the person who made the boots we are talking about.

I should also note that it is against the TFN Costumes Forum FAQ to post links to unlicensed dealers of props/costumes. Please use the edit function to remove the link.

 

Beautiful boots. For those who have ordered from him before, will he do boots other than what is pictured? I'd eventually like to do Aayla Secura and was wondering if he would be able to do them for me.

 

Yeah he does custom orders all the time. If I remember correctly that's how he got into the replica boot business in the first place.

 

Great! Thanks JT!

 

I would REALLY like a pair of cool looking Jedi boots, however I cant seem to find any that are in my price range. I would like to spend 300 dollars on good boots, however I cant justify spending almost as much as I spent on my entire costume on just the boots! I really dont have that kind of money to blow.

Forcebewitya!

 

There are other options aside from MotorCowboy for Jedi boots. There is one dealer, who as far as I know will be charging 250 still, as MotoCowboy keeps raising the price.

Then you can also make your own too!

 

I'd appreciate it if you would please PM me with info on other boot makers. Thanks!
