    Jun 14, 2012 - Underworld Death Dealer boots? #1

    I just received a screen-used Death Dealer costume from Snake Eyes here on the forum.
    I need boots, but do not have any idea what they wore in the films. I don't know if they lace,buckle, or anything
    Does anyone have a screen grab ?

    Any help would be appreciated.


    This is the Death Dealer Version I have (not the armored style)

    Looks like a pair of leather spats on top of standard black boots that were given a brisk white washing.

    yes, those do.
    But I'm not talking about those.
    I'm talking about the non-armored version of the costume.
    NOT THIS VERSION



    THIS IS THE VERSION I AM LOOKING FOR INFO ABOUT

    That is a boot with a gaiter over the top, it looks like a modern military or police style boot underneath and the gaiter I have seen before possibly vintage military but with the large straps added extra

    Just looked, the gaiters are swiss army military gaiters with extra straps.

    Thank you very much.
    The Swiss gaiters are extremely close.
    i am sure that the prop makers/costumers used the swiss Army gaiters as reference.
    i have ordered a pair (that i don't think I'll have time to mod before SDCC) here:
    http://shop.vtarmynavy.com/swiss-arm...rce=googlebase

    I was also looking at the "boot" itself.
    i am not convinced it is a boot, but may be an athletic shoe since the gator covers the majority of it.
    I am basing this oon the seam that cuts across the toe. Most tactical boots do not have that seam.
    I'm sure that finding the exact base boot will be close to impossible gievn the single reference picture we have.
    however, this pair of Rothco "Forced Entry" Tactical Boots looks pretty good for the sole

    I really thought i had replied to this thread already.
    hmmm..

    Kristen, the pic does help immensely.
    the actual boots are an older Magnum Midnite Tactical boot.

    They are no longer available. They are still being made, but the style is completely different and not what you want

    The Rothco I mentioned above is essentially the same boot, but still available.



    I did find some original style boots for my own costume.
    Thank you for your help.

    Ugh...
    Talk about re-inventing the wheel.
    After I posted , I searched the forum again to find more info. (I had already searched the forum) when i found Jose's thread.
    http://www.therpf.com/f9/got-mauls-p...75/index2.html
    Could've saved myself a ton of time had i seen that thread first.

    My Magnum's came in, as did my gaiters
    here they are together.
    the gaiters aren't perfect, but they will do for SDCC..im

    I see I need to wear them lower on the boot though.
