New "Scout trooper" boot source

[Thrawndike bar]

I was in Wal-Mart and found out that they started carrying Scout Trooper boots  

 

 

All they need are a few modifications here and there. ]

Meanwhile I'm still on the hunt for a pair of 9.5 sierra sneakers.

The soles are tan and the overall look is good.  The areas shown by the yellow area will be covered of course, but the raised toe cap (blue arrow) may be a concern.  I would check with your GML and over at the Pathfinders Detachment (link here) for more solid answers.

They’re not approvable if you’re thinking of using them “as is” for a 501st Scout. The back of the boot needs to close with 25mm (1 inch) white hook and loop fastener. Those ridges on the sides and toe that Joseph pointed out above would need to be covered over too. So you’d be looking at adding vinyl to the entire boot anyway, and with these being “rain boots” the sole is probably flat with no raised heel.
