A real steal on Balenciaga "All Time" boots!

These Balenciaga "All Time" thigh-high boots are near the top of my boot wish list, although I never thought I'd be able to afford them at their $1,695 retail.  I became kind of obsessed with them after I saw Celine Dion rocking a pair way back in September 2016 leaving the Ritz-Carlton in Los Angeles.

Pointy toes, pencil-thin stiletto heels, sleek lines, sumptuous black leather with just the right amount of sheen...perfect!



Needless to say, I was very surprised when a pair showed up on eBay this week and only sold for $530.  I'd been upset if someone got these boots in my size at this price, but these were actually a small size 36.

The seller listed these as "new with defects" and went on to say that the uppers had some minor scuffs from storage and the shaft of the right boot had a faint white stain.  If the defects appear in the photos, I sure can't pick them out.

The 4.25" heels don't concern me as much as the 29.5" shaft on somewhat short legs!  They're actually meant to be worn in this season's slouchy style.  These boots are stunning, that's for sure.  






The writing on the bottom makes me wonder if these were purchased for $340 at a sample sale or off-price retailer?!
