Wrestling Boots

MisterCadbury

OK so Im going to a fancy dress next week as Hulk Hogan and have my entire costume perfect except for footwear, now I've trawled ebay looking for boots to match the outfit i've put together but cant find anything thats in anyway reasonable so if anyone has any suggestions they woul be much appreciated? Red or yellow boots obviously, preferable yellow..lol:D

Look about shops for a pair of ''whore boots'' and paint them your desired colour. Cut of the heel if you need to.

What i did for halloween is buy light-coloured wellies, and then spray paint them. Or you could just get cheap poster paint and really smear it on the night before. I guess if that's no good you could just use white masking tape, then big yellow or red tape for the right colour.

Ah, ya should've went all out, nWo style, 4 life. Then you could get away with a much simpler outfit :P

But yeah, take a mooch about shops. What with oxegen and all that recently, I'd imagine stores are trying to get rid of wellies of all shapes, sizes and colours. Yellow shouldn't be too difficult to come by. It seems the most common colour.


EDIT:

Argos have green:

I'm sure you could get them cheaper elsewhere, though.

buy a pair of yellow kickpads, alot of wrestlers wear them today e.g edge, jericho, punk, you don't need a pair of boots then just wear them over your shoes or runners, they look like boots and are much cheaper

They look class. Are they for sale anywhere, Rossie?

There CM Punks kick guards so i doubt there for sale, as WWE most likely have them specially made, unless there's people selling copys in wrestling stores/online etc etc

Think Punk has three stars?

Found them anyway;

They're nice, but they're not $70 nice!

The boots page links directly to designs specifically for costumes and not in-ring use:

Tempted to get some training just for the excuse to own some pleather shorts and orange/black, yellow/black, red/black kickpads.
