Hey all! First time poster. Recently have started getting back into the films now that I’m an adult.
Recently I’ve been wanting to get a screen accurate (or close to) cosplay of Myers from the first film. For reasons even I am unsure of I decided to start with the shoes. From the top post, I know that the shoes are Green Vietnam Era Altama Jungle Boots with Vibram Soles. I also know that there was a link from the army surplus store in which a similar boot is sold.
The only problem with that is that the size they have for me is only in a narrow and unfortunately I am not a narrow. With that said, does anyone know of another boot that is similar enough or possibly another website selling ones that might have more size options, or should I just wait and hope a pair pops up on eBay?
it really depends on how accurate you want your costume to be. I have flat feet, so I need wider shoes but since the boots are expensive and hard to find, I sacrifice my feet for accuracy. if your not worried about it being 100% accurate you can find replicas on amazon for just around $30
Ignore the “Altama” part of that post. There is no evidence that the jungle boots in the film were that specific brand. In fact, I’d say it’s highly unlikely, given that the only Altama boots I’ve seen are reproduction knock-offs, not authentic Vietnam-era boots. I’d just keep an eye on eBay. It’s how I got my hands on my pair, and it didn’t take me too long to eventually come across some at a decent price.
While I would like for it to be as accurate as possible, I know finding the exact overalls and boots in my size would take some time, so I’m alright with going for a good “close enough” for now. What would I search for on amazon exactly?
you should be able to find them by looking up “jungle boots”, just make sure to find the best brand and stuff, some are better made than others. just look at reviews and stars and stuff
