All Jediphiles and Padawans would agree that, with Jedi Master’s wisdom, behind-the-curtain scheming, lightsaber fights, C3-PO’s insight, and R2-D2’s bravery, Star Wars is a universe of its own. However, whether you belong to the Light side or pretend to be on the Light side while mastering the Dark side, you wouldn’t want to step outside in freezing cold without a good pair of shoes, right?

Talking about the current situation, when we look at the continuous struggle of the Rebel Alliance against the war-mongering evil, the Galactic Empire, there is always one message, do not lose hope. And if you ask me, just like having a lightsaber by your side, wearing a good pair of shoes would never let you lose hope. Therefore, this guide is dedicated to all those Star Wars fans who are on the brink of losing their spirit due to the unwavering effects of the never-ending intergalactic war.

Being a sneakerhead and a Star Wars fan is not an easy job, as new collections are released one after another, making it almost impossible to keep a tab on them. But if you believe in the Force, you will find a perfect pair in the end.

Therefore, in this guide, I am going to talk about everything I know about these kicks while also talking about some of the pairs I have collected. So, brace yourselves for the hyperspace travel, as I am going to take you to the best Star Wars-themed shoes Star system to help you find the best pairs for yourself.

Bottom Line Up Front

My favorite shoes from all the Star Wars shoes are indeed these Men’s Star Wars™ | DC Shoes Manteca 4 Skate Shoes. These shoes are based upon the color scheme of Boba Fett’s armor. In my opinion, they have the right amount of cushioning on their tongue and collar. Moreover, they have a minimal design which I always adore. Not to mention the rubber sole that prevents them from getting scratched easily. If you are a true fan of bounty hunters, this product is a must-have.

My Best Picks:

Buying Tips

Comfortability

Shoes are always meant to bring comfort to our feet. None of us would ever like to wear something which bothers us, no matter how pretty it is or to whichever merch it belongs. So, before buying Star Wars shoes, check your comfort level and your preference for the types of shoes available. In my case, I always dread shoes with laces, as I do not like tieing them again and again.

The Right Fit

Online buying can be a bit tricky, and especially when you are buying shoes, the stakes even become higher. You cannot just practically fit a shoe just from looking at its picture; even the same size under different brands may also differ. So, take your time and consult a shoe size chart to determine the right size for your feet.

Also, check if the brand offering your favorite Star Wars shoes does or does not have a return policy, as you may have to reconsider your size choice after receiving your parcel.

Don’t Wait For The Sale

Buying themed shoes can never come cheap; it indeed takes a toll on our pockets. I would have recommended you to wait for sales to buy your favorite shoes, but the problem with Star War-themed shoes is that they always are limited edition and are produced in limited stock, and they might run out if you wait for a sale. So, get your hands on them as soon as you can.

Tackling With Knockoffs

Knockoffs can be a major problem even when buying Star War-themed shoes. Well, the Force has got you covered. The feeling you have about a product is always essential. And if a pair is giving you a bad feeling, then instantly back off.

There are also other tips like looking at the quality of material, finishing of the product, excessive glue on edges, unequal stitches, and some minor details with the logo design to see if they are legit. Nonetheless, I recommend you always buy from official websites to avoid scams.

They also feature Aurebesh, the basic Galactic language, written at the lateral sides of the shoes.

Talking about their construction, they come with the upper part entirely made up of canvas with no padding on the tongue or collar. The Insoles provide much-needed cushioning, not to mention the broad laces that perfectly complement the shoe design. But their most amazing feature, in my view, is their outsole. With a completely flat and treaded outsole, they are a knight in shining armor for a clumsy soul like me who has a bad habit of falling over.

Both of these pairs also come with an additional set of key chains. And don’t forget, these similar but not the same shoes offer a unique option for you and your nemesis or even two different sides of your personality.

If you are a Star Wars fan who is into minimalistic designs, these sneakers are definitely for you. These DC shoes feature a logo of the new Rebel Alliance on the back of the heel. Moreover, the grey color of the shoe is highly complemented by streaks of red color that share an uncanny resemblance to the red stripes that run along the length of the X-wing. Pretty cool, right?

The upper portion of the shoe is made up of nubuck leather. While the collar on the back side is slightly cushioned, on the sides, it is highly cushioned with mesh. The most interesting feature of the shoe is its tongue which is highly padded along with a secret pocket having a zipper. Can you believe it? A shoe with a hidden pocket!

#05 Sarlacc Pit Samba Shoes

Sarlacc Pit Samba Shoes

These Sarlacc-inspired kicks are indeed a treat for Star Wars fans. With more than a dozen appearances in the Star Wars movies, Sarlacc surely was a hideous yet interesting creature. But don’t worry, these shoes are anything but hideous.

The color scheme of the shoes is inspired by the creature’s own color, the primary color being savanna. The heel of the shoe also has Sarlacc’s tentacles taking the personalization to the next level. These tentacles always remind me of Luke, Leia, and Hans’ miraculous escape, from Jabba the Hutt.  And let’s not forget the insoles that also offer a great illustration of Sarlacc. But don’t worry, it’s not going to bite. Not to mention, these shoes also feature iconic Adidas stripes

The shoes feature a suede upper with a medium-sized tongue that is not well padded. However, the leather-based collar is relatively padded, making it easy to wear shoes without even pulling up the laces.

These pair of Samba shoes, just like any other pair of Sambas, offer great traction on hard floors and artificial tuffs and can be worn in almost every type of weather. Honestly, I like them as they are not expensive compared to the other shoes offering the same features.

Pros

  • These iconic Sambas are easy to wear.
  • They are affordable.
  • They are best for summers and winters alike.

Cons

  • If you are looking for a smoother texture or something waterproof, their suede finish is not for you.
  • The narrow shape does not fit people with broader feet.

#06 VANS SLIP-ON: Star Wars a New Hope

Star Wars Vans

These pairs of vans are a part of a special collab between Vans and Lucas films in 2016. The print on the shoes pays homage to the original Stars Wars movie, A New Hope, featuring all the main characters in action, such as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, etc.

These shoes are made of canvas, and the poster is digitally printed. They have a padded collar with a stretchable tongue due to the elastics attached to it. However, their midsole is pretty hard. The outside of these sneakers offers a classic Vans waffle outsole, featuring the zig-zag pattern of a waffle, something that adds significantly to their traction.

I would recommend these shoes for everyday usage. They might not come in handy for running or working out in the gym, and they can also be tricky to wear on rainy days. Still, for me, these are a great choice for the summer season. Not to mention, they are also a great option for students.

Pros

  • These sneakers offer the original iconic A New Hope poster print.
  • They are almost weightless.
  • With no laces, they are just so hustle-free to slip in, making them perfect for people who are always running late.

Cons

  • They are pretty expensive.
  • These shoes are not for winters.

Running Shoes

Want to run in Star Wars style? If yes, then I have got you covered. Star Wars running shoes usually come with a thick and highly cushioned outsole, and in some cases, with midsoles as well. They are highly treaded to provide you with the extra grip any Jedi might need and also provide additional protection to your feet. They are best for outdoor activities but can also be used for day-to-day affairs.

#01 Bossk NMD_R1 Spectoo Shoes

Bossk NMD_R1 Spectoo Shoes

The red-eyed reptile friend of Boba Fett, Bossk, is surely one of our favorite bounty hunters. Despite being an ugly bounty hunter, from his love for getting paid to his famous dialogue, you got a problem with Boba, you got a problem with me, he was loved equally by all. And these shoes are a perfect tribute to him.

These kicks are inspired by Bossks’ iconic jumpsuit and come in three different colors: night cargo, orange tint, and cloud white colors. To be honest, their colors are pretty cool as I do not find such color schemes being used for shoes.

The upper portion of the shoes features a close-knitted design with leader sides. However, the tongue and the collar of the shoe are not padded. With the famous Adidas NMD midsole, they provide extra cushion and support to your feet. These shoes also feature a rubber outsole. Although the tread is not good at the heel, they still provide some traction.

In my opinion, if you are looking for something for running, these shoes are not meant for you. And I would recommend these shoes only for daily routine tasks. However, they can still be used for a light gym workout.

Right now, these shoes are on sale. So, wait no further, and add them to your Star Wars collection ASAP!

Pros

  • They offer a stretchable upper portion.
  • These shoes come with an extra midsole for added comfort.
  • They have a modern design that appeals to the young audience.

Cons

  • Due to less treading at the heel, they are not great for running.

#01 Star Wars Slippers

Darth Vader Slippers

Need something intimidating to wear at home? Well, Star Wars has got you covered again. Honestly, no one like to wear hefty joggers or laced sneakers at home, and that’s where these slippers come in. With their softest material, cushioned insoles, and stripped outsoles, these Star Wars slippers are an all-favorite choice. They will surely make you feel like you are walking on clouds.

Due to their soft 3-D design and no sharp-edged knobs or buckles, they are safe to go around with kids. As they are lightweight and made of breathable material, you can wear them for as long as you like. Moreover, it might be interesting to know they provide more grip than most home slippers.

Mandalorian Sandals

Nothing beats a pair of slippers with Grogu chilling around on a hot summer day. This pair of slippers features different screen prints from the Star Wars Mandalorian TV series, wherein we can see our favorite bounty hunter and baby Yoda hanging around on various adventures. If you are a die-hard fan of the love and compassion between Din and Grogu, I am pretty sure you can never overlook these slippers.

The slippers feature a padded strap to provide the utmost comfort to your feet. And, if you get the right size, you won’t feel any kind of irritation while walking. The outsole is made of vegan rubber and comes in a medium size, reducing your chance of spraining your ankle, something I learned the hard way when I used to wear big-size slippers. Not to mention, the vegan rubber will also satisfy your conscience for not harming a living being.

I have to admit, you can always catch me walking around the house in these slippers. Or, if you are lucky enough, you can also find me in my favorite slippers on a quick run to the grocery store.

Pros

  • They are pretty lightweight.
  • They are affordable.
