Are these boots any good?

[Jakebullet[TK]]

Hi guys, I'm looking for some boots and I've seen these for sale from the dreaded Jedi Robe. I know they're not the best for armour but wondered if the boots would pass the Centurion test? Thanks

Hey Jim, besides the soles and side elastic being a little thick they should be fine. 

 

Here's some screen used boots to compare to.

Rather than jedi-robe, imperial boots' set are actually cheaper (and better quality too).

The shipping puts me off from there though as I'm in England I could get stung for customs fees on top

Well RS Prop Masters uses IB for their boots, so I am pretty sure that they kind of act like a UK distributer for IB.

Just looked it up and their exact words are, "We are very proud to be the European distributor for Imperial Boots. Real leather boots specifically made for trooping. These boots only ship to Europe separately, supplied with our complete commissions worldwide. To buy these boots separately outside of Europe please visit www.imperialboots.com".

If I could make a suggestion, I would order half a size larger than what you normally wear.  Imperial Boots are great but run a tad small.

Imperial Boots are great - lovely soft leather, nice and close at the ankles too  But yeh, go slightly bigger.

Glad I could help, and will agree that you should order larger (just so they are comfortable).

[Jakebullet[TK]]

Yeah, I will go a half size larger, I might get their gloves too, just not sure if the guards are right for Centurion

[PhilBobTheFish]

The gloves should be approvable to Centurion. They are chemical gloves and white latex handguards, which is what you need for centurion.
