Hey all, as I'm putting together my first costume, purchasing various items from all over the place, one of the major issues I seem to have with is the boots. While the screen accurate Corcoran 995s are no longer in production, it seems there is a variety of alternatives one would pick out. Unfortunately, it's hard to discern what the best one is; the Paranormal Boots seem to be the ideal choice, but they're definitely out of my price range (especially factoring in shipping costs and such). I'm looking for something that won't break the bank but are comfortable and look *enough* like the movie ones to be decent replacements. If it helps, I'm based in the UK, so if there are any local retailers or web pages that may offer said alternatives, I'd be really grateful for any information anyone could provide!
My second question is regarding wearing the flight suit; the reason behind my putting this together now is that I plan on attending a convention wearing the full costume (MCM London Comic Con to be more specific). My question is, should I wear normal clothes underneath the flight suit, or just underwear? Is the fabric breathable or will it get too hot and stuffy to manage? I ordered the one here from GBFans (still en route), so I'm not sure if there's a difference in how well the fabric is for different flightsuits.
Lastly, I'm looking at elbow pads and, while the ones here on GBFans seem alright, from what I've seen and read, they're not very comfortable? I think some people mentioned they were too tight/restrictive. I've seen some good ones on Etsy that actually look a bit more screen accurate at a slightly higher cost, but was wondering if people could tell me more about the GBFans ones so I can properly decide on what to get.
I think that's everything for now. Again, any help anyone could provide would be great!
