Chiming in ……
Decades of Star Trek Fandom….. I have yet to piece together a proper TOS uniform ensemble …. until now.
In reference to the boots….I considered from reading previous threads … that the boots worn by Kirk sometimes differed between episodes and seasons.
My focus in my search was cost economy and features mostly mentioned and or observed by others….for a pair of boots that I wouldn’t wear for more than possibly 3 time periods a year…. Comic-Con, Wonder-Con, and Halloween.
After some searching for both men’s and women’s boots….. I came across a woman’s pair on EBay. (Of course I had to use a men’s to women’s size conversion chart)…btw they come in black, brown, and white.
On the cheap…it was $48.49 total! with these features:
Faux (fake) Black Leather …. why buy expensive real leather for such short usage
Some Shininess …..not dull flat black
Knee High….from what I could see, especially in the below pics, it’s what Kirk wore
Butter Soft …for that wrinkly look
Cuban Heels….stated in the EBay description plus it has the look
Slightly Pointed Tip
Bear in mind from the boots photo below, that the TOS pant legs will go over the boots, so that the top cuff of the boots won’t be seen….
It’s as close as I can come to and it will have to do
Notice the shipment time….
Oh yeah …. There may be faux fur or padding on the inside of the boots….a small sacrifice of warmth I would say, but it also should be a comfortable snug fit. I’ll update when I get them.
Peace
