I have been helping a well known University get there redone sim ready, for an educational project. All the clothing is good to go but I need to find some full perm boots to hand out to wear with the military uniforms. Anyone have any suggestions where this can be found I have looked around and around?
ty in advance

Check out Mako Magellan, and other shops on Magellan Straits and Magellan Kinvara.

Also Edward Pearse might have some in Caledon Victoria City.

I got boots from Renegade that look pretty nice - not necessarily "military," but definitely boot-like in a non-cartoonish manner. I think the word "Distressed" is in the name (not in-world to check at the moment).

WW1 era British combat boots would be brown ankle boots, not modern combat boots, I think. Good luck finding any good full permissions boots.

What you're looking for will be unfashionable brown ankle boots, not the big black combat boots most people think of. I assume you're aware of this, but some people making recommendations may not be.

1. Find a decent man.
2. Ask him if he has any military boots to sell/give away.

Step 1 might take a while.

Still need to know if they are wearing dress uniforms or combat uniforms.

World War I era British strongly suggests combat.

Could be officers though, couldnt it? My antecedents were all officers in WW1. All but one died, mind you.
So officers could be wearing different boots.

Hello guys its combat boots they from what I know are somewhat dressy looking when they were not worn in combat thou, as Milla suggested. a bit pointy toed from what I recall.
However being the situation set up or whatever it would have been worn through and worn out boots.
Clarissa sent me some I passed on to the one in charge ty very much, I didn't have time yet to look at them.
ah yes Jig!
We have officers, soldiers and nurses.
