I'm doing a Kirk uniform on a mannequin for display. As we know, it's very challenging finding accurate looking TOS boots. I may have stumbled across the Holy Grail.
The brand is Spring Step and the style name is "Bolah". It's actually a women's boot, but it is available up to European size 43, which is a US men's size 10. The proportions, width of the shaft at the ankle, type of leather, height, toe shape and Cuban heel and look correct to me. The cost is $199.00.
There are other boots made by Motorcowboy and Caboots, but they don't look screen accurate to me and they are very expensive. The Spring Step boots are less than half the cost.

Looks accurate enough to me, although in the series, the boots are mainly covered by the pants. Of course you probably realize that the boots made for the show had the zippers on the inside so that they wouldn't show. This caused enormous problems for the costumers, because the teeth kept jamming. : - )
