The Original Freddy Krueger Boots Have Been Identified!

[@aaronroberts8601]

You mean they WERE readily available...until everyone watches this video.

[@scottsteele8164]

Just like his signature fedora from the first film they still make them.

[@Myers_toast78]

I was going to say I think it’s awesome you don’t gatekeep the community. You find out the facts and share them with everyone. I appreciate you Chris!

[@18BlackLungCallahan99]

He doesn’t gatekeep 😂 right

[@chrisstanleyofficial]

@@Myers_toast78 These are things for all fans to know about and enjoy dude!

[@jonniedarko9419]

What’s crazy is, the moment I saw the pics from the first movie, I thought of these boots exactly. I guess I’ve just never cared to look for Freddy’s boots, so I would’ve never known that I knew lol

[@brians_casual_shenanigans]

Saturday morning nerd bone! This is awesome! You can still readily get Dickies 874 original work pants, they even still use the Dickies 66 cloth blend... they run AU$100, got some for my WIP Jason Voorheees

[@GuitARPlayr100]

Dude I had a pair of these in high school that I bought for a whopping $8 USD from a surplus store. And honestly I bet I could go there tomorrow and pick up the same boots for not much more. That's crazy.

[@chrisstanleyofficial]

@@GuitARPlayr100 Insane!

[@Tactical_Hotdog]

Sweet, excellent detective work!

[@TheSkarekrow666]

Thanks to you, I literally just found and bought a vintage pair about 20 minutes ago for total of $42! Funny thing is I had an exact pair of these boots years ago, NOT knowing the connection to the film! Thanks for leading the way!

[@damonkizerart]

great info! all i need is a pair of pants, these boots, and ill have the whole costume!!

[@phataussie69]

Great video, man. Thanks alot

[@chrisstanleyofficial]

@@phataussie69 Appreciate you watching!

[@JD-Media]

Wow! I'm been waiting for this moment for over 50 years! This might be the biggest moment in our lives PERIOD.

[@chrisstanleyofficial]

@@JD-Media You said it dude!

[@travistaylorphoto]

Thank you so much for making the video and I am glad for nerds like us that it’s been discovered! Niche and nerdy, looking forward to this series! I’m down to talk boot shop any time my friend 😂

[@chrisstanleyofficial]

@@travistaylorphoto No thank you for watching mate!

[@MrBrian-Columbus]

You nailed it. Back in the 80's surplus boots were 20-50 bucks

[@thegoodsun4450]

and if he was a janitor at the school the dickies work pants also make sense but great research on the boots boys

[@atruceforbruce5388]

You can find the rippled soul outside most major army bases. I had my jungle boots re soled to have the ripped soles in Fayetteville NC when i served at Ft. Bragg.

[@leethomas3654]

Your welcome bro an appreciate the shoutout mystery solved 🙅🏻

[@glovelovesweden]

Love this nerdy Elm Street things🥰

[@fatthor2396]

I looked and looked for years for what shoes or boots Harrison Ford wore in blade Runner. Then about two years ago I found a post on Reddit that revealed that they were adidas Stan Smith. I now own my very own pair

[@Movies_with_Marco]

Glad you were able to figure this out. I know it was something you were hoping with the 4K restoration.

[@chrisstanleyofficial]

@@Movies_with_Marco Very stoked!

[@gemininimeg]

I've said this for years that Freddy's boots are some sort of Military Combat boots, but not which MCbB and I own a pair since 2002 when I was in AFJROTC in high school and I still have them, lets goooooo.

[@jonjones6764]

Awesome video and good to know! The wife and I might do a freddy cosplay for Halloween (she gets to pick this year and knowing her she'll pick Freddy) and im shooting for as good of a costume as I can

[@Savoy1984]

I never get sick of the level of research that goes into some videos on the internet, the few times I watch tv or listen to the radio seems really lame in comparison.

[@alexpowell6310]

Learned something new. Didn't know the blades were from a tomato knife.

[@megansavage7152]

They might be boot legg 🤣🤣🤣

[@scottsteele8164]

The only way it could make sense, where Fred Krueger got the boots and why he would have them, is the fact that he was once employed at the power plant. It was pretty common, especially back in the 50's and 60's, if I'm not mistaken?

[@angellara1113]

I just got a pair. But you gotta do a video on them when you get them

[@jamestgreyiv]

This is great news!

[@MOUNTAINOUS]

i love freddy and altama jungle boots. i wore my altama jungle videos in hundreds of hiking videos on mt hood. gun videos. survival videos. and i love freddy and horror. i got freddy hat. masks. glove. sweater etc. i made a cool freddy tribute video where i dressed up at freddy. i did that winter. i want to do a freddy photo shoot for a video this winter in my basement. in moms basement there is a broiler area and the old coal converted furnice has a door and looks like one where the mom hid the freddy glove. i cant wait to do that photo shoot and make it a video. i been planning it for some time.

[@farisbarnoussi8142]

OH GOD YESSSS!!

[@sneakerhead6184]

What kind of sweater did he wear? I want one!

[@justinhuston6855]

I was mistaken I thought you found the actual boots themselves but still finding the actual brand is a pretty big deal as well I also never noticed the boots when he triggered the tripwire in the first movie I also never noticed that they switched from boots to shoes during the bed burning scene at the end of the movie What Freddy claw is that behind you next to your Michael Myers mask I'm asking because it looks really cool

[@Mardonsan]

Fred Krueger is my all-time favorite, but is his hat black or dark gray in the first elm street? Cheers from Norway

[@princequestly2218]

Just look at any bad guys in any movies from 80s they always use old surplus military boots. Id almost guarantee that’s what they are.

[@sprinkleddonuts6094]

Just from the shot you shown before he tripped the wire, i paused glanced, and looked at mine. Black 8” Altama Jungle Boots with the Ripple Sole. Go to Any Army Post and Get them resoled. Orrr contact US Patriot

[@pilummurialis6490]

6:48 that's the wrong boot Nick castle wore in 78, his had the Vibram sole, which is a different design

[@TudorDavies]

Thanks chris

[@chrisstanleyofficial]

@@TudorDavies Happy to help!

[@javaughnjean4364]

i still wanna know what boots ghostface wore in SCARY MOVIE

[@blainemcgovern]

Do we know what size of these Robert wore by any chance?

[@blainemcgovern]

Also the size, waist/length/color/year of the Dickies pants?

[@matthewmartin4394]

We found the Hero glove from part 1, which is now in a museum display case... I submit that the boots should be w/it.

just watched a pair of these get sniped on Ebay in real time... this is a crazy time for Freddy fans!

[@angellara1113]

The exact same thing happened to when I was looking for a pair of sears coveralls for a 78 costume I was putting together and ended up having to settle for a pair of big macs

[@__-wm9lu]

You tan recently?

[@toddjones1480]

It makes sense that Freddy would be a vet. US veterans are 4x more likely to be arrested for possession of certain illegal videos of children than non-vets.

[@abstractheory1]

Idiot comment

[@KirksCORNER1983]

Do you go tanning ?! 😂 how gay
