When I got back from Star Wars Celebration I had a big box of fun waiting for me. I pulled the box out and I took a breath of relief. They don’t suck. But I had to wait for the next moment. I was going to wait and try them on at a later time, because I was uber tired. But I couldn’t. I pulled out another pair of breeches and grabbed my socks.
They fit well. They aren’t a 100% fit. There are a few issues. The ankle area is a little gappy on me. They are a tad tall, but hopefully when they are broken in they will be the right size. The shaft of the boot fits my leg well. Overall I’m very happy with these boots so far.
501st standards? These are tall leather riding boots without zippers. I believe these boots will definitely not hold you back. I believe if you get them sized right for you, these suckers will work well. They have a lot of different sizes and apparently they also offer customs at a reasonable price (I think it starts at $499).
I’ll update the review if they fall apart in like 2 weeks. But the leather quality looks good. These aren’t Ariats but I’m impressed so far. I wrote the above text last week, I have gotten to ride in them once.
I like these boots. They are comfortable. The ankles are a little too gappy, but they look and feel nice. The break in process I don't think is going to be a long. I think by my third or fourth ride they should be good to go. Honestly the height is not going to worry me. I think they are going to be perfect once they are broken in.
I cleaned them tonight with my Dehners and really couldn't tell them unless I looked at the ankle area. (The Dehners are more broken in.) I'm very impressed with these.
Now just a side note. When I got ordered these apparently the company had an issue with the boot I ordered. I guess the quality wasn't what they felt it should be. So they had to order from their overseas supplier.
I, personally wasn't in any rush, but the company felt that the delay was unacceptable, so they offered me either a free pair of gloves or a 5% discount on the order. I don't like wearing gloves, only wear them for shows, so I took the 5% off. I got an email today that I was refunded the 5% to my Paypal. And it is. :) Good customer service always makes everyone happy inside.
