Captain Cronus Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I was wondering where can I find good pirate like boots that aren't $500 online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Ebay.. man I ain't kidding.. look under Renaissance boots. We found a pair that fits my husband, and he's a size 14, that are bucket tops, and they were only $50, real leather!! Good luck, laddie! "You have a woman's skin, m'lord!

Captain Cronus Posted August 13, 2003 Author Share Posted August 13, 2003 Mad Maudlin McCrumb: do you remember who you bought from? Because I can't find anything in size 12. OR... Is there a place online that I can get pirate-like boots for not that much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Cronus Posted August 18, 2003 Author Share Posted August 18, 2003 would these be a good piratey style of boots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamie D'Avanzo Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Ahoy Captain Cronus! Good boots can sometimes pop out of the woodwork if ye know where t' be lookin'. Rummage Sales, Garage Sales, or even second hand stores may fetch ye the perfect pair. Be sure to consider what an old boot would look like with the top o' 'em bucketed over. Myself I found the perfect size, true leather ladies boots passin' by a sale, way back in a corner o' the Pike Place Market, for just 3 American Dollars. Yhar... a pyrate lass loves a deal, she does. If you're not the searchin' an' Rumaging type, try http://www.renboots.com/ Yhar... thar be me first post. :) Good Plunderin'! ~Dreamie~ "Ah, the city.. with all it's people and their accumulated wealth, yes?" -Yoshimo www.Dreamie.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Cronus Posted August 27, 2003 Author Share Posted August 27, 2003 too bad them boots be expensive, I be needin' boots for cheap.

"Broadside" Long Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Captain Cronus, Set a course for www.scaboots.com. They have 3 styles of cuffed "piraty" boots for blokes and one style for wenches. Sail on over and check 'em out. Best of all, their boots are all under $100 so you'll still have plunder aplenty left for carousin' and debauchery.

Capt. Westyn Elizabeth Roberts Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Also check out the Ebay store Stella's Sexy Stuff. True, the name sounds quite frightening, but they do have knee-high and thigh-high (low-heel) boots for under $50. Shipping is about $9 on most boots, but I have a pair that are almost exactly like them, and they're great. However, according to Claire/Poison Quill/TalesOfTheSevenSeas, they aren't the best for those who need special quality shoes for medical/health reasons. That would understandably require a more costly shoe/boot, and rightfully so, since all piggies are precious and deserve love. My thigh-high boots are quite comfy, and pretty wide, for a standard size. They come up to about mid-thigh, and can be folded down a bit, because the insides of the tops are lined in the same type of leather. Now, granted, it's not that nice, shiny, hard leather like some military boots are. The leather is quite soft. But, I didn't have to break them in before I wore them to the Renaissance Festival and tromped around all day in loose gravel. I am trying to find a boot suitable for Bob the Swab. He wears about a size 12W. I believe that he would be better suited in knee-high boots. That way, he could still wear them for everyday purposes underneath his pants. Thigh high boots on a man when he's not a pirate or a stripper might look a little odd. Remember your budget and your reasons for purchasing boots when you get 'em. Kick it up! Capt.

Capt. Westyn Elizabeth Roberts Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Oh, and Captain Cronus, those boots that are at the ebay link you listed...they remind me of the boots that Brendan Fraser wore in "The Mummy." I believe they might be a little WWI for the piratey era. But, hey...if you like 'em, get 'em. Remember...pirates were mean SOB's who didn't care about fashion. However, if you want to stay in the era (1700's), keep checking. I don't believe those lace-up boots are quite the style. But they do look really cool. Capt.

Captain Cronus Posted September 1, 2003 Author Share Posted September 1, 2003 that's what I was thinkin' but I found another pair that will suit me quite nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Good to hear you found some boots, mate! For those still shopping, a good pair of boots will last along time - I've had my main pair now for 20 years. A simple pair of Wellingtons with cuffs I added me'self. Another option often overlooked is a good pair of buckled shoes. The shoes aren't as important as an impressive set of buckles. I converted a pair of slip ons with squared toes I found for a couple bucks at a thrift store. Added some antique buckles and voila! a nice set of shoes that look great with knee socks. And it gives you an entirely different look from the "bootineers". And one can't have too many sets of footwear. A couple sets of boots (brown, black), a good set of period looking sandals, a pair of shoes - you can mix it up better depending upon the outfit. And Dreamie is so correct, look around and you'll be surprised what you find at a very good price in the unlikeliest places. The only bad part is the flood of Halloween pirates out shopping now - thanks POTC!!! -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.
