Ed's boots?

Post by Ranchan » Mon Apr 11, 2005 5:07 am

Okay I'm not sure if this has been asked but does anyone know where I can get a pair of boots for Ed from Fullmetal Alchemist. I had seen several cosplayers with them at Megacon and that was before I even thought of doing the costume for FMA so never asked (should have though for reference).

K-mart. Get those cheap $10 winter boots that look like space boots, you know the ones; the ones your Mom bought you as a kid that were Velcro.

The problem though, is that they either have to have red soles or you have to paint the soles red. Also, depending on which reference pics/episodes you watch, Ed has red lining around the top of the boots. I just used bias tape and hand sewed it on for mine. ^^ Good luck!
