 Men's Black Walker 130 Halloween BootsOct 28, 2010
By VaderJeff
I got these boots in the mail a few weeks ago. They were received in the stated time frame, as promised, & appear to be of good quality for the money. I bought them to use as part of a Star Wars costume I've been making for my son, Sith Lord Starkiller from the Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition to be exact. I'm a member of the 501st Legion, which is a worldwide costuming group that makes professional quality costumes of villians from the Star Wars movies. I've been looking for some decent quality boots for this costume for some time. I didn't want to break the bank, as I am on a budget, even if it's a lot more than the typical person would spend for a costume. I currently have 6-8 months build time & approx. $600-$800 invested in the costume! I know this seems like a lot, but for a high quality costume, that's really dirt cheap! I personally have $8000 invested in my Darth Vader costume. Call me crazy, but screen accurate gear cost $$$. Nearly every piece of my costumes is either custom handmade by me, or by friends within the 501st legion. Of course, some parts, like boots, frequently have to be bought off the shelf, & then modified to suit the the intended purpose. These boots are no exception. Keep in mind, good quality leather boots of a similar design would easily cost $200 and up! These boots in brown would also be a suitable start for an Anakin Ep III costume. Even though I knew I'd be modifying these to achieve the look I wanted for the Starkiller costume, I am VERY pleased with the quality of these. My son & I attend a lot of events & conventions in full costume, & one thing I've learned is that your foot wear needs to hold up to the rigors of a large amount of walking. So far, these boots have held up remarkably well. I ordered the boots in large (12-13), as my son wears an 11-12. I wanted a little room for him to be able to grow into them, as he's only 14. With some gel inserts, they fit like a glove. I definitely recommend these boots! Time will tell if they hold up for the long duration, but so far they've exceeded my expectations, especially when compared with other non-leather costuming boots I've bought in the past. Buy with confidence! I HIGHLY recommend these boots!

 Great....as long as your super skinny!Sep 04, 2011
By Badger
Great looking boots, well worth the purchase, just don't have any meat on your calves. These things were designed for the super skinny in mind. I am a thick person, but my calves are not huge by any means, yet I could not zip the inside zipper up past my lower shin. Not to fret, I ripped the zipper out, put in eylets, and laced the damn boots up using the outer piece on the inside opening to add to the effect of the leather lace up. Look sharp now, and fit now. So, boots are okay, as long as your no more then 140# sopping wet.

 Affordable Costume BootsAug 31, 2011
By Remjin
I bought these to be used with a Star Wars Sith costume. They're costume boots, for a good price, and they look pretty good. The ridged thing in front is just an insert under the belts. They looked terrible. I took them out. The belts try to hold it in place, but it doesn't really work. the belts, by the way, don't come off on the one I received. Without the insert, they're a bit loose. They don't look horrible that way, but if you want a tighter look or really like the ridges, I'd skip these. For the price, though, you can't really beat this. Where else can you get a boot in this style for this price?
In any case, I was going for a Starkiller look from the Force Unleashed games, so all I ended up doing is taking some cloth and wrapping these boots up in any case. Still, I have to say it seems to be put together pretty well. You're not buying leather, but it looks close enough to count for costume purposes. I would recommend getting some of those liners for the bottom, though, as these boots leave a lot to be desired for overall foot comfort. They're just flat, inside, with a very basic liner in there with very little cushion. They were a little big on me, but pretty close, which was awesome considering it was a generic size to cover 2 full foot sizes. I'm normally a size 10-10.5 depending on manufacturer, sometimes wide too, and these still fit pretty well.
If you're looking for actual boots, skip these, and buy a real pair of boots. For a costume, though, these worked out pretty well. I can't really complain (even though I just did) about these since they did the job and for a price I could live with. I'll use these a bunch more before I'm done with them and have confidence that they'll be up to the task.
A good buyApr 06, 2012
By MacMaverick
These boots are exactly what they set out to be. Theater/Play/Halloween/Cosplay/Adult boots. They are what one would expect to receive for around $50. They are not real leather, they are not extremely high quality, but they get the job done, and they look damn good at that. Also, I found that the calves of the boots were very roomie for my larger muscular legs. I will enjoy wearing these for my special occasions as they are very comfortable as well.
