Xelement Advanced Dual Strap Leather Boots with Vibram Soles

I came across these boots when I was looking for a good pilot-style boot and couldn't help but post them for all of you.  They are leather, durable, and look amazingly Swarzy.

Damn I wish I had the money for those.  They'd be perfect for my pilot build.

those are amazing. they're perfect base boots. They don't have emblems to remove, they don't have big buckles to work around like the MotoCross boots do (though some are fans of the buckles on motocross boots).

You basically just get some sintra and velcro and you have some AMAZING troopable boots. These also look a lot more comfortable than MotoCross boots.

and 90 bucks is cheaper than almost all MotoCross boots.

Praetor, you are amazing ori'vod! These are what I've been looking for quite awhile now. Now, it's a matter if they carry my size...  ;)

It is a blessing and a curse that I look at everything with the eye: How can that best be used as a costume.  Blessing because I can offer it to my vod if I don't use.  Curse because I can design an entire kit around that costs more than I have with my costuming budget.

This just solved my boot problem. Figured it's worth a little bumb for any prospects looking for soft parts like I am.

This is an old thread, but they're still available at Amazon here:

These would look awesome armor plating attached to them.

Yep, Whitecrow uses them with his kit, and I'm looking at the brand to see what other boots they have as I'm rethinking my boots again...

Thanks for posting the link to help people. Good work!

Well they fell wonderful to wear all day thats for sure. I put in 14 hour days in mine for a week breaking them in and my feet were never tired. I had to cut off the excess  straps in the back after pulling them tight and getting them where they were snug enough. As far as putting shin and foot plate armor on they were perfect to shape and mold the sintra plates to. I will post a pic or two later.

They are perfect! Just one thing they only go up to size 13!!   I wear 14's!  any of you that have them do they seem to run big? or smaller? in your size.

I also wear a 14 but the 13 is very roomy and does not fit tight at all. I had them on this weekend with thick hunting socks and was no problem.
