Gentlemen, what boots are used in the original trilogy for the officers? I understand they are German boots from the 2nd WW era. Any recommendations as to where I can purchase some originals or reproductions?
 
You are looking for Equestrian Boots, or English riding boots.

Imperialboots.com makes a set, but they have been a little slow with replies to people lately. I have not seen these.
Indy Magnoli makes a wonderful looking set http://www.magnoliclothiers.com/falcon-boots-p-598.html which are listed as Falcon boots.

I picked up a pair of leather riding boots on ebay listed as equestrian riding boots - Federicka.
They are pretty nice, but only come in certain sizes.

If you are a larger size, you will have a more difficult time finding boots. I happen to be a 10.5-11 and I ordered an 11 for comfort.

If you go to imperialofficer.com you will find lots of resources for parts and pieces.
 
Thank you so much. I did a search on there.

Thanks for the insight. Hey! My cousin was in New Zealand for a short time many years ago.
 
I've been looking also and gave been haunting my local tack shops. For the right look I was told by the people at the tack shop to look for Equestrian dress riding boots.
So I did and bought a pair for $150 and am very happy with them. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1449015486.466743.jpg
