Burton Moto Boa boots! 
And the extra straps and parts. I haven't identified the pad on the back of the heel of the prop boots yet. 

I'll draft up some sketches of how the extra details are added.

Super lucky indeed!

Good news! I have a pair of what seem to be ultra rare Burton boots, in the correct color, in my size. Found them on eBay. This was the only time I've seen them in that color, and the only example I've found out in the world currently. 

I also got the additional straps and pads. 

I'll post up photos.

I'm running out the door, but off the top of my head: I seem to recall we did see both, right?  Or did they ALL wear the ski boots?  I haven't had coffee yet so the brain isn't up and running just now. LOL
 
But we would probably (normally) build the CRL with the most common configuration... assuming we can find someone who actually has the costume set up that way.  But then make Jack boots an optional variant.

I'll have a look, I think I can fix it by editing through the app

@AdmiralJag Your photos disappeared. Any way to repair?

@Bowrider Nice work on the suit pattern. 

What fabric do we think is correct for the suit? 
The suit has contrast visible stitching, correct?

Could the CRL be built with the jackboots as the standard, and the insulated boots as the option?
 

Gotta catch 'em all!

So found someone that 3D modeled the Zap Rod the guards had!

Looks pretty good in my opinion, what do ya'll think?

For the rubber sole, I was planning on using a Plastidip-type product. Mask off the area, spray. I haven't looked into whether an orange exists. 

The toe has some added detail which I might try in foam clay or foam. 

For fabric/leather painting, I like Angelus paints. They are acrylic, and as Natalie @JynInDisguise said, you can use other acrylics, but Angelus has it figured out and I've had great results with that product. I painted my AT-AT boots with Angelus. 

I've been surprised they haven't shown up anywhere in a web search, and none on eBay. That's uncommon for contemporary found parts. The production bought all the remaining stock! 

The same model is available in different colors. I've had luck painting fabric so that's likely the route I'll take if necessary. Would love to find the correct color though. Good luck!

I may attempt to make a pair of electro boots despite the Burton Moto BOA not being available anywhere in the gray/red (orange) colourway. 

The orange sole was "extended" with black ribbed padding added. A vamp strap was added.

The compression straps were Nitro brand ankle straps (pads), ladder straps, and Nitro Raiden ankle connector straps. Haven't figured out the connection at the rear yet.  

If I actually piece anything together, I'll post. 
 
Photos lightened, to show strap detail:

Here is my contribution to the effort. Please let me know if there are corrections to be made. Cheers!

We are cleared by the LMOs to have anyone create this costume.  There are enough references to it.  Show your work and we will work with you to get a CRL created and we will submit the costume to them.

I think we got these figured out.
