Here's our initial prototypes. There are a lot of little tweaks we're going to make for the final run though. I'll post updates here as we get closer to finishing these. Stay tuned!

Kind regards,
Indy

I get that these are a prototype and will have changes. To me there are a few things I'd point. Image attached to aid in the points raised

Image


Red Circle - This part of the boot on your prototype seems to cut off on a very clean edge whereas on the screen used boot it has a bit of a curved edge on it. Not sure on terminology.

Orange Circle - The prototype has the top eye let right at the very top past the stitch line. On the screen used boot there is no eye let past the top stitchline. The extra space made by having the curved side raised in point A might allow the eyelets to placed correctly.

Pink Circle - The toe cap on the screen used boots is just a stitchline it does not have the holes along the toe cap stitch line (I've used purple on the original and blue by the prototype)

Green Circle - The zipper is a lot thicker on these boots than what yours appear to be (this may be just the angle but beyond the zipper top when you get lower down the boot you can barely see the zipper which makes me wonder is the zipper too thin. The pull is also wrong.

As it stands now, these boots are no more accurate than modern Corcoran's based on the prototype. Hopefully these details can be picked up and I'm sure someone with a keener eye than me will be along soon.

Also referring to area in the pink circle, visible on the edge of the toecap there's a decorative pattern present that isn't there on the original screen-used boots.

Size/shape of the zip pull, particularly the hole inside it - is a trapezoid on Egon's and a rectangle on the prototype

A little hard to tell but might the bottom of the zip on Egon's sit 'parallel' to the stick detail and on the prototype angles away and to the floor a bit?

We'll be starting a run shortly, so if you want in, place your order ASAP. We can do other sizes as well if you can e-mail us early enough so we can add it to this run.

Indy, Are you a member of the 1984 workbench group on Facebook? There is a bit of a discussion on their that it would be helpful to look in on. It looks as if the toecaps may be a little bit flat on these, and also some questions about the zipper teeth and pull size. It would be good to get these things improved before production?

Thanks! I am a member, just had a hard time navigating FB today. I did a quick post. I think the only tweak I'll implement for this run will be to see if I can source a slightly heavier gauge zipper.

Nice! Might I ask when you placed your order? Just trying to gauge how soon mine might be shipping out.

They don't look bad... of course Corcoran looks so much better.

I was able to just cut the thread on button flap. Came off with out cutting any leather. . Doesn't matter if you're Venkman


How's the magnolia boot feel? Quality, comfort?
$195 is in the ball park of a new boot

I'm curious to know all about them myself. $195 (+ shipping all the way from NZ) ain't a small sum to drop on new kicks, and new Corcorans are in a similar price range as these like you said. Used ones are obviously cheaper. Personally, I think I'd rather snag up some Corcorans from somewhere once the boots I currently have for my suit wear out. Something about their design speaks to me more.

They come from Pakistan, where they’re presumably made

I got mine, they are pretty comfortable. I have wide feet and have no issues at all with them, no pressure points or rubbing sensations. They feel roomy but don't LOOK that way if that makes sense. I haven't walked more than around the house with them but they feel good.

The leather is very supple and soft, they get pretty floppy going up which will make them break in and look crinkly in the middle fairly quick I would assume. This is a costume boot though, don't try and go into the jungles in these, they will definitely not survive long in real world boot conditions.

The laces they come with are way too short, you get like an inch to tie them up with, yeah no. I replaced mine with some way longer ones, and brown to match the screen used ones from above, though the brown might just be from age and not present during the movie. I might wipe a little black kiwi wax on em to tone it down a little.

They smelled way funky when I got them, but the odor quickly dissipated.
Overall, yeah I like em :)

All pending boot orders should have shipped now. We also have about 20 pairs in different sizes (not all sizes) in stock and ready to ship.

The laces in the movie were not brown in anyway. That's wear from 40 years. You should find an alternative black lave military issue. other than that they look good.

Indy, are the sizes in US, UK or EU? I’m guessing US, but want to make sure before I order a pair and end up looking like a clown… πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Just wanna throw my 2 cents in. You can't go wrong with these boots. They go with the Paranormal Jumpsuit like they were made by the same company. Oh wait...

Are those the stock laces? An earlier review said there wasn't much length left to tie them up, so I'm curious if that problem has been addressed.
