Does anyone know a source of those Xena type boots some of Argent Lords and KDs are running around in?
Or even better, something period and local and inexpensive?

Most of those boots were picked up at the Auction sale of all the props and costumes used on the series.
The KD got some, and the Second Legion got some, I think the medieval shop had some as well but that was a while ago so maybe not anymore.
As far as I am aware there is no other source for the boots, but i could be wrong.
Some also went to “whitebait productions” who then on-sold some of them afterward some film shoot to “first scene costuming” in kingsland IIRC
Dont know weither they’d be willing to part with them though.
Nah, First Scene never sells anything. I hit them up for some broken old top hats, and they said they had “character”.
Chantelle works at first scene (or did last time i caught up with her, are you still out there chantelle )
she might know who to talk to.
but derek, seriously you will be dissapointed in those boots, they don’t really stand up to vigorous use very well, the stitching around the toes lets go real quick and they have stuff all grip.
Okay, thanks for the warning. I usually wear NZ army boots to fight in. The work well, but look like NZ army boots…
as you once said to me, If someone could make good tough hard wearing period looking boots, the re-enactment community would beat a path to thier door.
I find Footwear are always the hardest peice of kit to get, although Steve Hodgson does make reasonably good ones, maybe you should give him a call.
