Has anyone been able to identify the specific boots Egon wore in the intro? They're not the Corcoran paratrooper boots from the first two, there's a different toe cap and higher lugged sole.

Whatever they are, I kind of dig the metal looking biker boots with an old lab coat look that old egon rocks.

They loom like safety works boots to me. My work boots have the same design.
If Canada has the same safety standards as we do in Australia that would explain it.
Its a hard rubberised toe cap designed to stop the leather from tearing of the steel/ composite toe cap underneath.

Look at something like Olivers work boots for an example.

100% identified. Dakota 529s. Just sat here scouring the net with a screencap of Egon's foot on the porch pedal. :sigh:

Do you think they are the brown or the black boots? I can't really tell with how dirty they are.

Definitely brown. You can't see it very well in my caps, but, watching the movie, you can see a definite difference in the colour of the leather and the rubber on the toe.

Thank you sir! I should have just watched the movie... Again haha. I'm debating getting the all black ones to use with my uniform. Not screen accurate, but I do like the look
