I'm after some boots, CABoots are a bit out of my price range, but what about these?

no. $300 plus $51 shipping?  if you're going to spend that much, get CABoots. If you're gonna go cheaper, try your hand at making your own. get a pair of boots, some (real) suede (all together, maybe $120?) and use barge leather glue. Those boots are gro

I agree! I bought a pair CAboots in chocolate A1. They are awesome and worth the money.

In my opinion the boots are not only a detail - they are very important for the whole look of your costume.

Everytime I see a Jack-Sparrow-Look-Alike, my first "scan" is controlling the boots, the weathering of the fabric and the sash. And then I know, how screen-accurate it really is...

Yeah I think deep down I knew that CAboots were the way to go. I will keep saving.....now tan or chocolate?

[Banditxx1]

That depends...
In the first movie they were chocolate. In the second and third movie, the boots were tan with brown weathering. And the colour differs between the scenes, because Johnny Depp used several boots. He had a pair, which was used for water scenes and there were boots, which should not get wet...
In the last movie, the boots are chocolate again. You can see them very good in the scenes in the beginning with the escape in London(?)...

Thanks for that, as I'm aiming for a DMC look I guess I'll go for tan. Quick question, I've been looking at the Caboots site, what does the A1, A3 etc mean?
