Darth Vader boots?...

[darthwhitey]

Now that I have my Anovos Vader, I need boots!

I've bought Trooper boots from TK Boots and Imperial Boots and they are nice. Is there a good source for accurate Vader boots?

What size did David Prowse wear?

thanks!

a lot of the guys over at the SLD get Chippewas or Soviet boots, head on over the forum and get answers from seasoned Vaders

Sorry, what's the SLD?

The 501st Sith Lord Detachment forum. The preferred choice is the Chippewa Engineer Oiled boots.

Again, sorry for the noob questions, but aren't the boots mostly covered by the shin guards?

Are the boots the same from ANH, to ESB and ROTJ?

thanks again

Hi, are you hoping to have your ESB Vader 501st approved someday? highly recommend you join the (SLD) Sith Lord Detachment forum. guys over there will definitely help out with all your Vader questions.and you can also check out the CRL ( Costume Reference Library) once there. with regards to the boots, yes it will be mostly covered by the shin guards but overall shape, height of sole and heels and other small details are still considered. and yes the boots would seem to be the same across all the episodes .

Thanks! Yes I just joined the SLD. A great forum!

I'm not going for 501st approval, but doing a statue. But I still want accuracy.

Thanks again!
