I'm really loving this debate here... now I'm no expert in the Fett boots, but, i do know a bit about the TK Chelsea boots I ordered for my TK a few years ago.. now, I read someplace that when asked, Jeremy Bulloch had said the boots he wore were "uncomfortable".. and i can definitely say, my Chelsea boots were very uncomfortable until i put some gel soles in them... they were the real deal from England even...
OK so my theory, hear me out... What if they were reverse engineered.. basically they made a pattern from some Chelsea or Jodhpur boots and used different materiel to put them back together with a different sole... most of the masked costumed boots from the movies have the same look to them and maybe that's the best they could do for a "new character" without changing the style...
The high-res images of the Fett boots look to be made out of some type of canvas materiel.....
Wonder if a company out there ever made Jodhpur or Chelsea boots in a canvas material? i dont think so.. just because, they are basically riding and stable boots.. you would think that you would want leather.... style boots on the other hand... maybe...
