Can you just paint your white ankel boots with a certain paint to get them black or is there a store you can go through to get the black ankle boots.

Good source for boots - http://www.shoes.com/product.asp?p=5012394...ariant_id=37473

Sketcher Defender - not the most accurate, but they'll work:
http://shop.skechers.com/shop/men/shoes/al...0179&STYLE=null

These are the most accurate, but very pricey:

Timberland Torrence Chelsea Boot ($115) Accurate, but needs a good polish:

Also try Froogle for pricing (but the boots must be black):

Yet another boot source: Submitted by Ekho...

Yup, those would work nicely with a good shine.

Although I agree that those sketchers would work, personally, I'm anal enough to want to hold out for a more accurate looking boot. Even if you give those shoes a good polish, it'll still lack a subtle specular quality that a more expensive shoe would have.

I have one shot with this lump sum of money I have. My family is bankrupt, this is the money i got refund from my scholarship, and I will most likely not get anymore. I am getting what i need for this suit now. Getting it together, and getting into the 501st. This is my one shot. There are no more after this...

Go with those boots bro! The Detachment Leader of the Special Ops Detachment of the 501st said those would work perfect. That is all you should need. ;)

Can I get a picture of the inner thigh assembly from one of you guys/girls, I am looking at mine right now and they don't look like they go together, also, where the velcro should go to hold the thighs together.

Just the same way that the one you put in your biceps, just as you showed me in your pics. I will send you some pictures later.

Here's a couple pics of what I recently picked up. It only cost me half retail, but it was still 80 bucks. Not bad, same price I paid for my TK boots.
They're Cole Haan chelsea boots if you're lookin.

The toes are a little more flat than I'd hoped/expected, but I think they'll do the job.

I saw some really cheap ones at Wal-Mart but you'll have to cut off the side "ring" straps. Almost a perfect match.
