Noposer Posted August 26, 2023 Report Posted August 26, 2023 Hello, working hard on my stormtrooper armor and I came across stormtrooper boots on amazon. Do any of these boots qualify for 501st? Thanks Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted August 26, 2023 Report Posted August 26, 2023 Good news/bad news, Sean. The ones I just looked at on Amazon should be fine for Basic 501st approval, but not for higher levels because of the seam on the front. Also, all the ones I looked at are made from faux leather. These would be fine for occasional trooping of course, but not being leather they don't "breathe" and can get mighty hot (especially here in FL.) One set I noticed on there runs about $83.00. For a little extra money you can get a pair of leather ones from Keeptrooping (link here) which are the ones most of us here use. High quality, built to last (mine have lasted 7 years and still going strong) and approvable at all levels. If you decide to go with them, be aware that they only make them in "waves", and the next one starts on Sept. 8th. Also, they tend to run a bit small, so order at size larger than you normally wear. Hope this helps! Quote
