It looks like my second pair of boots from the thrift store don't have much left after last event. Does anyone have any suggestions on good boots for larp? I don't mind spending some money to get a good pair but the ones at https://www.sonofsandlar.com/shop/ are a bit out of my price range.
 
Mine are from https://houseofandar.com and have treated me well (as long as I keep inserts updated as needed).

It is similar to Son of Sandlar, but much less expensive.
 
How physically do you play the game? While a good pair of period boots are great costume, actual sport footgear can be a huge boon. I personally swear by my Bates tactical boots, but many other paintball/generic sport boots come in basic black.
 
I like to be pretty active so the Bates boots might be nice. I do really like to have a pair of boots that fit my character though since I play an elf. :)
 
I think any black or brown boot even when not in period looks fine as a complement to a character. The military boots especially as they have the heavy look of an in period boot.

I recently have learned that moccasins are really great personally and look good for a natural character.
 
Going in the opposite direction, I actually wear a pair of 16th century style latchet shoes (with a modern vibram sole).
