Awesome! Thank you. Now the issue I always have with shoes this old is finding them in my size, ugh.Full credit to RPF user Risu who identified them: "Mephisto Spinnaker boat shoes"
I found a pair on Mercari in my size. I also reached out to that individual on Instagram that made your boots, Studiobohemecosplay. I am hoping they get back to me because I would love for them to also make me a pair of boots with the shoes I just purchased. Did you reach out to them via private message on instagram or is there another way of contacting them?they were plentiful on ebay when I went looking six months ago. I hope you have the same luck
The holster was something I bought 10 years ago off Etsy when I first got ahold of a cast of the production pistol. I forgot who made it.just read the whole thread, great job! one thing not mentioned is the holster tho!
My boots made by Studio Boheme on instagram made from Mephisto Spinnaker shoes as the donors for the soles finally showed up today. I am SUPER happy with them. They turned out great! Took longer than expected but I guess they had staffing issues or something during the last quarter of last year. But they eventually did show up and are of high quality. I am excited to wear them the next time I rock the costume again.
Thanks for the compliment. The shoe size I went with was my regular size shoe (US size 12 mens). They fit me fine prior to shipping them off to be transformed into boots. I just tried them on as boots and they still fit well. So I went with my normal size.Those look GREAT! I wanted to take a moment and thank you for this thread. I'm a very recently converted Browncoat, having for the first time watched the series through and Serenity for the first time in January 2024. I instantly wanted to make a Mal costume, and your thread has been invaluable in helping me do so.
I did want to ask though, when you bought your Spinnaker shoes, did you go for the brand's recommended fit, or did you size down at all? I have a pair of them that are my "recommended fit", but the soles themselves are quite a bit longer than my actual foot. Is that going to be a problem when I send my own shoes to get converted?
