Can you help me find these boots?

A friend is looking for Levi's Sahara CT Twill Men's Boots Black 514931-01a-13 in men's size 8.5. Neither he nor I can find them anywhere. They have been discontinued. Can anyone find these? Thanks.

I don't know where to get those, but searching for "para boots," "paraboots," "jump boots," and "jumpboots" may help or at least help you find boots like them.

I remember similar shoes to this in the army/navy stores being called "desert boots" so I found similar styles by searching for "canvas desert boots" - these Palladium Boots on Zappos look similar in style.

As a side note, the Levi's boots looked so familiar to me I finally realized that I saw them in this "design fails" compilation - the fake zipper apparently makes a hole in the canvas when you walk!

Create a saved search on ebay. Before you get excited - though there are 3 pairs on ebay right now, the closest size is 9.5. But, the fact there are 3 pairs there right now makes me optimistic that sometime in the next 6 months a size 9.5 pair will be listed. Good luck!
