I got fairly lucky, more so my coworker has. I’m somewhat short for a stormtrooper so I ask tall people around me if they’ll model tall costumes for me, just to feed my costume girder tendencies.
Well my tall coworker isn’t caught up on BoBF but we started talking boots today, so I showed him the Cad Bane boots without spoiling the wearer. And he was kinda obsessed with the style. We looked as many probably have and sizes online and in our area are sparse on the below $200 budget. I check FB marketplace though and found his size 13 in a used pair for $90. Offered $50 hoping to settle at $60’ish, but $50 was enough. They’re technically a slightly different model of boot, but the sole matches and has the strap, and some extra riveted detailing, which honestly once we mod them with the ring and steel toe, I think would’ve been a superior boot. I’ll probably through a thread together on the conversion.
Here is the sellers photos

I'm an idiot. I'm pretty positive I actually have a pair of those exact riding boots in my closet, right now. I must be getting slow in my old age... totally should've caught this.
