I've been a member of the 501st (Midwest Garrison (MWG)) for a few years. I've been a Star Wars geek/fan since 1977 when I saw the film at 10 years old. I recently purchased a used set TX armor. I've been working dilegently to get it ready for my first troop on July 5. The MWG will be walking in the Bartlett, IL 4th of July parade. The parade is a total of 2 miles. I did it last year in white armor and it was HOT! My fans gave out about 1/2 way through the walk, but I managed to survive. Anyway, I have all the correct soft and hard parts according to the requirement. However, I would like to double check on the boots. I purchased a pair of Doc Martin ankle boots off E-bay. They have the "U" shaped stretchy material on the sides, are shiney (not glossy), have less than a 1" heel. These would be acceptable - yes? I'd also ike to get my hands on a set of mirror lenses. If anyone has a set laying around let me know. Otherwise I'm going with the dark green. I apologize in advance to the hardcore purists, but I absolutely love the FX bucket! It's roomy, fits all the electronics and is big enough for my huge knogin! Anyway, thanks for having me. I've learned a lot since I've been here. Loads of great info! See ya! Sean
