Now, clearly I would have to paint them white, but if I did so to a decent extent, would these be 501st acceptable?

Those could work after painting. The only problem I see with that style is the ankle is wide and sometimes gives the shin a hard time staying closed and down. Been there done that! Now have imperial and they're tight around ankle. Solved a lot pf problems.

I see the potential issue, but I have quite thick legs and size 12 feet, so would that solve the problem??

Acceptable at all levels of approval

These are exactly the same as I used, and were cleared. 

 

Stripped with acetone and wire wool, several thin coats (with sponge) of Angelus white leather paint. I used Plastikote white matt on the elastics. They do appear to crack when stretching to get boots on, but magically ease back into place

I bought the same boots, only stripped the black as much as I can so far, I did notice that the soles are very smooth and slick, I might invest in some type of grips once I start wearing them.

Yeh, the soles are pretty smooth. Might do the same. The missus got boots lined with a rubber sole at a shoe repair place, think it cost about £12
