I've had my eyes on these and other affordable riding boots for a long time now but never bought one for the simple reason that if I order just one pair, the landed cost will be over US$50 after factoring in shipping, and possibly customs duty.

We can cut sown on the shipping by combining our orders and ship in 5 to 10 pairs in one shipment, but there's still the issue of the customs duty.

If anyone has imported similar boots before into Malaysia? If yes do share your experience if you had a run-in with the customs...

Hi folks,

Any way to get this type of boots in Malaysia or import is the only way? I'm looking for one pair "Darth Vader" type of boots...

For Vader boots all you need is a pair of ankle boots because the shin guards and the pants/bodysuit will hide most of the shoe anyway...

Send Vaderarjay a PM and he'll be able to advise you...
