Roy Burns Boots

The Boots

Information regarding the boots worn in Friday the 13th: A New Beginning remains limited, but I will provide the most accurate details available.

Boot Design and Variations

The boots present a challenging subject for identification. In certain scenes, such as the one where Roy is about to fall from the barn, the boots appear to be higher-cut without ankle padding. Conversely, other scenes suggest the boots feature ankle padding. This discrepancy may be due to the use of stunt boots or the possibility that John Hock and Tom Morga wore different boots during filming.

Color Characteristics

The boots’ color is somewhat ambiguous. Initially, they appear black; however, in various scenes, they exhibit a dark brown hue. It is common for dark brown leather to appear nearly black under low lighting, which likely contributes to this confusion.

Supporting this, Tom Morga has been observed wearing dark brown boots at conventions, further complicating definitive color identification. Unfortunately, direct confirmation from Mr. Morga regarding the boot brand has not been possible.

Boot Model Identification

Thanks to contributions from Instagram users @x.hideous_man.x and @nstaffordstudios, it has been identified that the boots worn are Field & Forest Model 8468 in brown leather. These boots, however, are exceptionally rare and difficult to obtain.

Recommended Alternatives

For those seeking a more accessible and affordable alternative, the Red Wing ASTM F 2413-05 brown leather boots offer a close approximation in style and quality.

another option that I personally prefer is the Red Wing Boots 2233 USA Supersole Brown Steel Toe.
