I ended up going with a pair of tanker boots.
I wonder if I can find some in brown, for light side use.

It'll depend on how large you need your boots, but I used women's knee high boots from K-Mart. Inexpensive and comfortable.

Dunno what is elsewhere, but here there is also Spendless shoes. That's where my boots have come from. Sadly their boot sizes are a bit small and hubby couldn't fit into their largest, and his feet aren't particularly big either. Sometimes you have to be careful with cheap shoe places though. Sometimes their shoes will be fine and last well- my current Jedi ones are. Other times you'll wear the shoes once or twice and that's it, worn out already. |

Could be worse. I can't even find shoes in my size in stores. I have to order them online.
It's not the length, as a size 13 is relatively common, if large.
No, it's the width. A size 13-4E is ridiculously hard to find.

Have you tried foot binding? That might help with the width issue. |

I tried it once. I had to give it up, though, after some well-meaning but ill-informed old Japanese lady tried giving me advice on makeup. On the plus side, I made a dead sexy geisha.  I'll let you figure out which one was me. |

Any advice for someone who is in college and having to pass on the essential ramen to pay for a saber? If I can't afford to buy an actual costume would a martial arts uniform or some other slightly martial clothes work?
Hi, hope you don't me hopping in a older thread  My very first attempt at a jedi costume was a white gi and sash that I hand dyed "ecru" from rit. I had a similar color thermal from my dad that I wore under it or if it was hot, I had a tank top for the layer. My belt was a tactical from the surplus store and my boots at the time were a target special. I have also gotten other boots at thrift stores. My outer robe was made of fleece, hand sewn because I didn't know how to use a machine and eyeballed for the "pattern" I can sew with a machine now, but Im definitly someone who will buy/make/modify whatever I feel is needed. Sometimes based on price, sometimes skill (or lack thereof), sometimes a piece is already made exactly how you want. Second hand stores can be a godsend for finding components and so is amazon <3 <3 I have a simplicity pattern that looks close that I will probably try eventually. Right now, I am having fun doing my own spin after being out of costuming for so long |

That makes it sound high end and that I make everything by hand lol I get an idea and then find or make things to go with that idea  I think Im more of a cobbler...I cobble them together ^_^ |
