I have also been looking for boots that would work for a Brown Coat costume. This place does not have the exact boots but there are a lot that I think would work. They do a lot of reproduction boots. They might be able to make some that were very close to what we are all looking for. http://motorcowboy.zoovy.com/

I hate to say it but a lot of the Star Wars boots that they have on their site would look great with Firefly type costumes.Any one looking for a custom boot like the one river has in the film have a look at this place. http://www.baldmountain.net/design_your_own.html

This place also makes custom soft boots.

There are a lot of places on the web that make moccasin boots. So if you look around you might find better deals then the sites above.

You know looking at Mal's boots in the photo above it looks like they are shoes that have been made in to boots by the wardrobe people. A dead giveaway is the way the tops atach to the shoe part. I have made my own boots before and this is the place you have got to give a bit of thought to other wise they do not fit right. What Mal is wearing is little more then spats to make the shoes look like real boots.

I am totally getting the TUK boots from findcoolclothes.com

URL is http://www.findcoolclothes.com/01019.html

Thank all of you for your work! Hehe, made it easy on the rest of us.

I'm going to use these for everyday use, they sound pretty durable, and I can also use them for a halloween costume, the dork I am.
