A deal on vintage Dolce and Gabbana thigh-high boots for $275 (or $225?)

Some lucky bidder got these stunning Dolce and Gabbana vintage thigh-high boots for their Buy It Now price of $275.  Hopefully, the buyer took advantage of a rare 20% off clothing and shoes coupon on eBay and got the maximum of $50 off these.

These hard-to-find boots were a size 40/US10, and although they show more wear on the soles than previous listings for these boots, were still a deal at $275 (or $225)!  These boots originally retailed for $1,200 and the last pair I saw for sale on eBay was in October 2015 when this size 38 pair sold for its starting bid of $579.99!  Granted, the soles on those practically looked like new, but these boots just purchased still appear to be in great condition.

Kudos to the seller for some nice modeling and plenty of photos! I can only assume it's a mother with small children given the basket of toys in the background of some of the photos. Kind of an interesting contrast paired with some of the sexiest boots I've ever seen!  Oh, and this listing might have been the first time I've seen these boots paired with skinny jeans and they look amazing!

More Report Signature boots nicely modeled

The same boot seller as in the previous two posts sold these nicely-modeled Report Signature "Fairfax" black leather thigh-high boots for their starting bid of $149.00.  These size 8.5 boots were pre-owned and measure 28" with a 5" heel and 1" hidden platform.  Again, not my favorite style, but they look great modeled with the striped knit dress.

It also appears the modeled photos were taken at different times as the model's hair is curly in the first photo, but straight in the later photos.







Report Signature "Kane" thigh boots nicely modeled

The same seller that sold the 1969 Italian black leather thigh-high boots in the previous post sold these Report Signature "Kane" thigh-high boots for $199.  These boots were a size 8, an impressive 33" tall, and once again, nicely modeled.

It appears the previous owner even wore them to a car show!  She said, "Awesome condition worn only one time to an event.  Kane boots are sexy and amazing.  I got stopped several times and asked who are those boots by while wearing them to an event.  Definite head turners!"

While not a favorite style personally, I've always been intrigued by these because they can be worn as chap boots with the included garter straps (see bottom photo).








Stunning 1969 Italian thigh-high boots are a steal at $300!

Someone got a deal on these stunning and oh-so-nicely modeled Italian black leather thigh-high boots by 1969.  The seller stated that they originally retailed for $1,729 and the 1969 boutique in Italy.

New in the box, these size 40/9.5 US boots measured an impressive 32" tall with 5" pencil-thin stiletto heels.  These boots also came with their original dust bag and an extra set of heel taps.

The seller stated that these boots were "works of art" and I agree.  Without a doubt, some of the nicest boots I've seen on eBay in awhile!

And based on the feedback left "wife loves the boots," it appears these were gifts for some lucky lady and the lucky husband who gets to see her wearing them!
