Let's Find The Real Boot!!! Options

[Guest_tuskentrooper_*]

Hi Scouts,

My first post here, believe it or not! I was just looking at page 106 of "From Star Wars to Indiana Jones: The Best of the Lucasfilm Archives" by Mark Cotta Vaz and Shinji Hata. On page 106, there's a production illustration of a Biker Scout with a few notes written to the side. One of them, pointing to the boots, says "Sorel Snow Cat 16". Since 16 seems too large for a size (maybe non-US size?), perhaps it's a model number. Sorel is still in business today, and they still have a model called Snow Cat, but it doesn't look quite like the Biker Scout boots we are familiar with. Perhaps a vintage Sorel Snow Cat is what we're looking for. Just thought I'd pass this along since I hadn't seen it elsewhere.

Keep up the speedin' troops!

The "sierra sneakers" is not the name of the boot but the style. I have tracked down some leads for getting the circa 1980 boot and will get back to everyone asap.

Hey BSN I have just recently started looking into the scout for my wife and myself so I am not to sure about the whole costume, checking this thread out and I seen what Treehuggerscout wrote above and knew I have seen that name elsewhere I went looking again. This is a link to the Sierra Sneaker I seen before Sierra Sneaker Not to sure if this is the same but with a little modding of the sole it seems to me to be close.

Hmm, the differences in style is too big to mod it. Just look into the reference gallery
where there is a batch of pictures of a younger version of these boots.
You'll see those are completely different.
