I bought these for a TK armor build I'm doing, hoping for 501st approval. The boots themselves do look like they'd pass 501st requirements, though not for Level 2 Certification since there is a seam that runs down the front and to the inside of the boot. Definitely not up to the standard of ImperialBoots or TKBoots, but they seem passable if you're stuck for boots.<br />Unfortunately I can't wear them; they're just too big. I normally wear a size 12 shoe, so went with the Large (12-13) in these, but my feet are swimming in them. I imagine that the next size down (M 10-11) will be too small so I'll be returning them and waiting for some from ImperialBoots.
