Hey All,
I figured the Star Wars sub was the best place to post this review since we mostly use equestrian style boots for Star Wars costumes.
I couldnt find any real reviews or comments about these, so I decided to start a thread.
So now that they're back in stock, I'd recommend that if you are in the market, you snatch these up.
On Todd's site it says that these run a bit large, so to order a size down. As someone with one size 10.5 and one 11 sized foot, I ordered the 10.5 trying to split the difference. To me, they feel like they do run a tad large, but this worked out well for my case.
Pros:
-As for construction, they seem pretty solid. The leather is definitely not top quality, but as I will only be wearing them a few times a year, they should hold up. The leather soles are nice, but definitely slippery! wear them a bit before you troop!
-The height seems perfect. I am 5'11" and they hit right at my knee. The backs are a bit high for my particular legs, but should be good for most people at 5'11" or above.
-The overall shape seems to be great. They look like riding boots.
- Availability. I couldn't find a pair of used boots in about 8 months of shopping. Finally being back in stock on these was convenient.
-Price. Again, used boots seemed to be around this price. Getting these new and able to return them for sizing issues is reassuring.
Cons:
-The photos emphasize this, but they are rather shiny. Not in a cheap looking way, but in a way that resembles the post production photos of Han Solo more than the more beaten up ones from filming and other characters in the film.
-The curve. The curve on the edges seems a bit severe compared to some photos, but can definitely be "fixed" by a cobbler.
I posted some photos so you can see. The pictures (even without flash) do make them look even shinier than they really are. Try to imagine something between the photos on the site and the super shiny look in the promo photos.
