    Gabe, per the Cargo Hold's Terms and Guidelines:

    As a seller, you MUST state a price in your thread (excluding threads that are simply links to eBay auctions). TDH will permit "OBO" or "serious offers" in a sale thread where a price has been stipulated, but threads where no price is stated, and asks for open or silent offers are not permitted. In addition, silent auctions or charity auctions are not permitted.

    Re: STORM TROOPER BOOTS SALE

    The biggest noticeable thing I see is the presence of a zipper and the absence of the elastic on the sides.

    As to whether it would be 501st approved or not, I'd be surprised something as small as detailing on shoes would be denied when those big ole jack o'lantern FX noggin helmets are still okay.

    Re: STORM TROOPER BOOTS SALE

    Slave I is right - they should have elastic on both sides and no zipper. As-is, they should be good enough for 501st approval, though. However, they likely wouldn't be good enough for Expert Infantry status (the higher-standards level for stormtroopers, for which FX helmets also aren't acceptable).

    Re: STORM TROOPER BOOTS SALE

    Im pretty sure that the boots MUST have the elastic U on the sides, even though the calf armour mostly covers the U. Also on these boots it appears that the zipper goes all the way to the bottom of the boot, this means it will be visible beneath the calf armour. Obviously it will depend on the GML approving your costume, but for 501st approval I dont think these are approvable.

    Edit: here is the part of the CRL regarding boots for base 501st approval. Crossposted from FISD

    * Boots. These must be white leather or leather like, above ankle, with a flat sole, with small U-shaped elastic sections on both sides of the ankle. Jodhpur-type boots or an equivalent style. No buckles or laces. Elvis or mariachi boots are not acceptable.

    I think the evo boots are classed as Elvis boots? but I could be wrong.

    bigglesk, I stand corrected. Thanks for citing the CRL.

    Similar, yeah. The sole should definitely be leather and not the material used for Boba boots. And the leather should be shiny, though since the CRL does not make the distinction I suppose either shiny or dull would be acceptable.

    Gabe, if I may offer some feedback on price, you may not get many customers at $100/pair. CA boots are $70/pair+ shipping and TKboots are $49/pair + shipping, so at $100 yours will be the most expensive that I'm aware of.

    That's true too, and should be taken into consideration if you want to be competitive.

    Of course, I got my real boots at a bargain bin close out place for about $20, and they were black and had to be painted with white shoe paint, just like the real original ANH boots.

    Thank you very much, guys!
    I already took note on this. I will be working with the boots maker at the workshop to get these more accurate! Thank you again!

    Re: STORM TROOPER BOOTS SALE

    This is easy research, and I can't believe that you actually made this prototype without reading the guidelines for the costume? That takes a minute, reworking the boots takes a lot more...

    There are cheaper boots out there who are way more screen accurate, guys.

    Re: STORM TROOPER BOOTS SALE

    Actually, these are the best ive seen to date...

    They have an accurate sole thickness, non-shine leather, and no odd stitch on the top of the foot. Best out there right now.

    I sold my Caboots i was using for my TK and replaced them with these and also ordered a second pair for my TD build.

    Gabe, i think you should focus your attention to further improving your fett boots rather than embark on these right now. There are no consistent Fett boot makers out there now besides yourself and i have confidence in you that with the help of TDH members you can get an almost dead on replica of these boots and have a huge marketbase right here besides! Plese dont take this as an insult as its just meant to help you out.

    As for the TK boots, i think if you use the pics myself and TD-7614 posted, that should help you.

    Amen. It would seem you'd have a wide open market if you get the Fett boots nailed, whereas there are already plenty of stormtrooper boot makers out there. Get the BF boots done right, though, and we'll be knocking down your door! No one, and I mean NO ONE has gotten the Fetts boots 100% or even 95% correct yet.

    and once you guys got those boba boots down, then you should tackle jango boots.

    well, let me try to improve this... I am glad the BF boots have had acceptance among you guys but I'd like to extend the items offered or at least try it and see how it goes!
