Starsky most commonly wears the same moccasins as some characters in the Western line and some characters in the Planet of the Apes line. They come in various shades of brown and burgundy tones. They have been factory reproduced by Classic TV Toys, EMCE Toys and Tim Mee. The CTVT reproductions are a darker brown than originals and are a little shorter with a slightly different overall shape. They are marked CTV on the inside. The EMCE reproductions fall well into the range of color shades you find originals in and the material used to make them is spot on, however, they are taller than originals. You can also notice that the original mocs were poured from the side (the minor flashing is evident) but the new EMCE versions are poured from the back. The other thing that makes the EMCE version spotable is there is a stamp on the inside of each moc. On the one I examined, one moc had the number 1 stamped in it, the other had a 4. To make matters a little more confusing, Tim Mee reproduced the Mego western line back during the Mego era using the same molds. So there are vintage mocs out there that are identical to mego in almost all respects. Color, material, molds, etc... The Tim Mee mocs are just a touch thinner, making them a little more flexible than originals. The big difference is that the Tim Mee's are marked made in Hong Kong on the bottom, while the original Mego's are unmarked.

Some Mego collectors have said Starky could also be found wearing Duke/Fonz boots, others deny it. At this point we'll call it a possibility until someone produces a carded Starsky with these boots we wont know for sure. We'll include it for now, but if you want to be certain you have accurate Mego issue footwear with Starsky, better go with the Mocs. The Fonz/Duke boots have been reproduced by CTVT. The reproductions, while the same height are thicker with a wider foot opening. They have a rough texture to them as well. They are unmarked.
