Greetings. I'm thinking of buying a pair of black boots similar to the ones Cassim and Aladdin wore in 'The King of Thieves'.

Thoughts?

Wow they're great!!! How much are them? But maybe you should wear them for a party or a special event, I don't think they are for every day

That's awesome! I've always wanted Jasmine's shoes. Disney World only made that desire stronger Laughing

Well, I'm a Muslim so I was thinking I could wear them with my Muslim clothing (Shalwar kameez, thobe, etc) during holidays like Eid and stuff.

However, they are expensive. Between $200 and $450

Wow those are really cool! And I know what you mean about Jasmine's shoes, AladdinsGenie. I was thinking about doing a cosplay at some point and the only things I'm worried about getting are the shoes Razz. XD I remember having the little ones that went with the costume when I was a little kid but they weren't really like the ones in the movie.

They look great! But for that price, if you really want them, you'd have to wear it at least 3 times every year so they don't go to waste!

Well, I could wear them to Friday prayers at the mosque, especially during winter when it's cooler out

If you've got the clothes to wear them with and you'd get a lot of use out of them - sounds like you have both sorted - then go ahead and buy them. I probably wouldn't spend that much money on some boots but would and have spend hundreds on a jacket going with the same guidelines.

The closest I got to finding shoes for my Jasmine Halloween outfit was gold slip on shoes, but without the curl in the toes... the husband copped it worse with his Jafar Halloween outfit, he gave up and wore black boots.

When I was Jasmine in kindergarten, my mom just spray-painted some white bo-bo's. Razz

It's been awhile since I posted so here is the updated situation:

1) I found a site that sells them for $200, not $500 like the other site. I'm obviously going with the cheaper site

2) I've made up my mind and I've decided to buy them. We only have one life to live and I don't want to die on my death bed regretting that I never bought them. I may love them or I may hate them, but I'll never know until I buy them. So I'm buying them. I've been paid handsomly with the past couple paychecks and I have some spare money to reward myself. I'll order them in the next week.

3) This is the closest picture to the clothing style I am trying to achieve. This is medieval clothing, but picture these boots (in black) tucked in with a white shalwar kameez (baggy shirt and baggy pants) and a black kufi/turban.

Does the place you're getting them at allow for refunds or for you to return them if they don't work out? If you hate them, you might not be stuck with them and can take that money to get a better pair.

That's a nice outfit, though

Make sure you post pics of the boots and you wearing them after you get them.

Unfortunately, since the boots are custom made, I don't believe there are refunds.

However, I won't be wearing the boots every day so it shouldn't be a problem.
