shiny boots are shiny

[julesjones]

While I was round at kalypso_v's for dinner last night, she suggested that the shiny blackness of the boots should be shared with the masses, and got out her camera.




There are entirely too many B7 costumes I could use these as part of, so it's probably a good thing that I don't have the cupboard space these days for collecting random items that look as if they could be turned into part of a costume.

ETA: I need a Thania icon to go with these posts, don't I?

I bet you can totally kick butt in those boots!

(Not that I doubt you can totally do that without the boots, but I think the boots add a bit more flair, don't you?)

[julesjones]

Oh, definitely. :-)

Very nice!!

I hope they were still as comfortable as they'd seemed when you got them.

[julesjones]

The shoe part is pretty comfortable, although I'll probably end up padding the heel section slightly. The only problem so far is that the zip area kinks in around the ankle (you can see it in one of the photos), and digs in a bit. It'll probably settle down once the leather's broken in, but I may need to pad it out for a while to discourage it from setting into that shape.

Oh yes, those are boots for world domination :) Very cool!

Federation Space Command boots...

"Supreme Commander Julia" has a nice ring to your ears? :-)

[julesjones]

Oh, it has definite possibilities...

[birdsedge.livejournal.com]

Oooh... jealous...

[julesjones]

There's always mail order... (Though I really would recommend being properly fitted in the shop if possible.)

[watervole.livejournal.com]

They certainly look well-fitted.

[julesjones]

I spent about half an hour in the shop in the end, most of which involved having the entire attention of an assistant. Some of that money does go to paying someone to make sure you get a decent fitting the first time round.

Boots! They make me happy.

[julesjones]

You would *like* this shop.

[heleninwales.livejournal.com]

Those boots do look both stylish and comfortable. I see what you mean about the costuming potential too. :)

[julesjones]

I am very happy that miladyinsanity pointed me at the company.

Wow, nice-looking boots that don't have 3-inch heels! You must live in a different universe than me. (Reason #3 of why I almost never wear boots.)

[julesjones]

They're higher than they look in those shots, but they're still not much over an inch. And yes, this was my previous reason for being terrified that I would damage the old ones -- trying to find *nice* boots that didn't have spikes or horribly high heels or both was almost impossible. I got so fed up with seeing low heeled boots that when I took them off the rack to check turned out to have half inch high spikes for heels.

Very nice. :)

[julesjones]

Thanks. :-)

A nicely made pair of shiny black boots deserves a quick pause for envious appreciation.

[julesjones]

Yes, I thought there might be a certain amount of envious appreciation. :-)

[pinkdormouse.livejournal.com]

Excellent B7 Boots!

[julesjones]

Thought you might appreciate them. :-)
