Decent price and an excellent set for upgrading some plastic "Star Wars" boots, as well...

 

[Chambea1114]

That is a good price, I still prefer the older material they used for the boots but if this costs reflects that change and still uses real leather that lasts I think it was a fair trade.

I suppose the "Marching boots" would be the enlisted in the field style?

I still prefer Dragon's moulded boots.

The insistence on using 'real' materials because they're perceived to be 'high end' often fails in capturing the intended shape. The moulded boots can look more realistic when they're well sculpted.

Some of DIDs latest boots have been pretty bad, such as Stauffenberg's. I ended up swapping them for a much older pair of theirs.

Which boots are taller -- Senior Officer or Jack Boots?

Thought about getting a pair to replace my cracking HT ANH Han boots, but these appear to have a slant to the top opening of the boot rather than being straight across. But given they’re only like $13-$14, it could be worth the gamble to see what they’re like in hand.

Officer boots (both kinds), which are the equivalent that Han and Luke wear, are taller than marching boots.

I appreciate what you are saying, especially in this case, but by and large I like to have each 1/6 outfit as detailed as possible. I will go cloth/leather shoe any day over molded. I have seen very few that would pass for the real thing unless you invested a lot of time, money and weathering to get any satisfaction.

DID's older pleather boots are generally better than some of their newer leather/bonded leather ones. The old ones capture more natural wrinkles, whereas some of the newer ones resemble wellingtons.

e.g., Stauffenberg:

I changed them for an old DID pair:

Still not perfect, but they capture more realistic creases, and eliminate the wellington effect.

I recently bought some moulded Dragon (DML) marching boots like these...

...and was reminded again just how good some of their sculpting was.

 

[BACON!]

never saw those before and you are certainly right, Asta. Sculpting looks spot on

 

[JacktheRipper]

I'll take well sculpted over material any day. Weathering is part of the fun. Deteriorating material is not fun.

Got my Jackboots today,
Genuine leather, so no deteriorating material

That's a good looking refit of that soldier story figure.

I need to order a couple of sets. I had just ordered some Dragon/DML boots just last week.
