So I am new to the GBfans site but I have been visiting for years but finally decided to make the next costume of mine a Ghostbusters costume. So I have started the process of buying parts for the costume but I am looking for boots at this point and have looked all through the like 11 pages of post on the Uniforms page and through other pages but I can’t find a boot that everyone agrees on. So I am looking for a size 12 boot with the silver side zipper, does not have to be steel toes but would help I guess. Any suggestions?
Military surplus stores or websites are your best bet or even eBay occasionally. Corcoran boots are the most widely used. The actual boots are paratrooper jump boots with the side zippers.
As said above the Corcoran boots are the closest option but they are a little costly…
You can find cheaper Chinese knock-offs that although not as close are a very cost effective alternative…
Here is a link to one such cheaper alternative, now it’s just a link that popped in Google, there are many more and I’m not suggesting this one beyond the fact it looks decent…
I havnt had much luck finding jump boots with zippers from someone who ships to the UK. So I’ve bought some Corcoran’s and plan on adding a zipper myself. Should be pretty easy
They dont actually list shipping prices. You have to buy it the they email you with how much it will cost and you pay more. Presonally, I wouldnt want to do that. And they’re pretty expensive too.
I can get a pair of Corcorans posted to me for about £25 and pick up a zip for £1.
