These classic black leather dress boots are the first "real" boots I ever owned, having bought my pair at our local JC Penney Outlet Store for $18.99 in the early 1980s. I thought these were a real deal as they originally retailed for $80. A fashion find for someone on a college budget!
The leather on these boots was buttery soft and they had sexy spiked heels and nice almond toes. I remember they fit snug and they looked better with a skirt or dress than they did over jeans.
The size 8.5 boots in the auction were even the same size I bought back then. Thought about buying these for a trip down memory lane!
Some of the original advertising for JC Penney's Halson line featured these boots, pictured on the model on the far right.
