Vintage Wild Pair thigh boots get snapped up quickly

I was not surprised to see these beautiful vintage 1980s black leather thigh-high boots by Wild Pair get snapped up shortly after they were listed.  I have "Wild Pair boots" as one of my saved searches, so I get e-mails every morning when new items are added that match my search.  These had already been snapped up for $88 using Buy It Now by the time I clicked on the link in my e-mail.  They're a size 6.5, so I wouldn't have been interested but I have to admit that this style of Wild Pair boots has always intrigued me.  And I've never been able to add a pair in this style to my collection.  I especially like the clean lines of the simple pull-on styling as well as that these can be worn cuffed.

These would look stunning paired with skinny jeans and a black leather concert as well as part of a sexy pirate costume for Halloween!

Still, someone got a very nice pair of vintage thigh boots that the seller indicated had only been worn once.






 And kudos to the seller, who listed them with some great text:

I wish I had a live model, as these look great on real legs and thighs! ..... 

Beautiful, vintage 1980s true THIGH HIGH BOOTS, darkest black leather, way way over the knee and almost to the crotch area depending on your height. These are made by WILD PAIR, made in Brazil, and are supple and lustrous full leather, with high heels, curved vamp and slightly rounded pointed toe that is very feminine. These are 1 sexy pair of thigh high boots! Back in fashion today (did they ever really go out of style?), I purchased these in the late 1980s and only wore them once so they have light wear only and are in good, clean condition. These measure almost 30" high/long and can be cuffed down at the top for a different look, a sort of pirate appeal.
