Lara Croft Boots
Lara Croft always wears a pair of knee high boots.
Different incarnations of the Lara Croft character do show her wearing knee high boots that have a slight heel on them while others show her wearing knee high boots that have a flat sole. The choice is yours here but we recommend black knee high boots, preferably with buckles. You can also wear white socks and have them showing at the top of the boots. |

Lara Croft Gun
We will start by stating we would never recommend using a real gun for your Lara Croft cosplay costume.
Instead use a toy replica but choose a semi automatic looking toy so you have the same look as Lara Croft. Lara Croft usually has two guns especially in the video games but you can use just one if you prefer. |
