EDLITMUS Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 After searching ebay for a good pair of boots I could paint to replace my CABoots (which I really don't like, they make my feet hurt something fierce!) I managed to find a pair of these: http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/produ...id=514545&vid=1 They seem like the perfect boots! They need a paint job, but the price doesn't seem too bad for a good pair of boots. Anyone ever tried these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott M. Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 They look close, but the elastic U-shape on the sides is too low and not rounded as much as the CABoots.. By painting/dying them, you would be certainly close to what they had on screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Nice, the elastic is a little squarish at the bottom, but not too far off. You may also try looking for Johdpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDLITMUS Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 I found some jodhpurs but they were all overseas and with the weak dollar they were more that I was willing to part with. I found a pair of these on ebay that are my size and are a good price. The elastic isn't as square as the ones on the product page I linked to, so I'm thinking they are a slightly different boot. Here's a pic: The only thing is they might be a little short, but I figure if they don't work for trooping I can just keep em black and have a new pair of boots.

Midnight Trooper Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I spent alot of time researching these at one point but I lost the links after a computer change. Still, these are pretty nice. And they come in black. http://www.countrysupplies.com/item.asp?i=4737 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SethB6025 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Darn weak Dollar. In the mid-nineties I would buy a lot of CD's from the UK, and I remember when it was only about $1.25-1.50 to the GBP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
