larping shoes

Does anybody know where I can find good larping shoes, like that would look good on a barbar? I was even considering uggs....

This is just one guy talking here, but I think you should make sure you support your feet... make them comfortable, and make them supportive of your arches.  Your Health>>Style no matter what that woman in 9" pumps says.

Footware are extremely important. Getting something quality in game is certainly the goal, but get a good pair of solid hiking boots that are water proof before you get some suede-ish or in period looking shoe that will not help you in the dark when you are running in the woods with limited or no support. If you do step into a wet area (bet on it when there's snow on the ground or when its muddy when it rains or the snow melts) you will curse your purchase if it doesn't help you there.

UGGs (and other Sheepskins) are warm, but all the ones I've worn are somewhat loose on my feet (since you don't lace them), and I can't run in them when I need to - down a hill to a fight, at night, for example.  They look great, and are comfortable, but not for the Warrior type that needs good footing.

Mitch is right, support is key.  A good pair of hiking boots, with fur wraps on top, would be fine.

If you want to go for the big bucks, Son of Sandlar makes EXCELLENT period boots with wonderful support, that will stand up to just about anything.  They're pricey - $300 to $700 - but once you get a pair, you'll be set for years, and your feet will thank you for it.  Unfortunately, the NY Ren Faire just ended, otherwise you could get them there - I think the MD faire has them, too.

I personally cannot wear anything with a significant heel to them. As far as KR boots go, I have a pair of snow boots that look pretty IG, I just put Dr. Scholls inserts in mine and I'm good to go. It's cheap, they're comfortable and they have support. I know how it is to have to operate on a tight budget, it's tough, but if you get creative enough you can find ways to make stuff look IG.

If you're going for the Barbarian look, you or someone who is crafty could make "leggings" out of fake fur from Wal-Mart. It's how I made my Satyr legs for last event. If you want more from that front, send me a PM and I'll do what I can to help you.
