Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots, even with defects, still sell for $319!

It's nice to see that one of my all-time favorite style of boots, the Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" thigh-high boot, continues to sell well.

This size 8.5 pair, listed as "new with defects," sold for an impressive $319.  The seller stated that the defects were minor scuff marks on the upper leather of both boots.  The marks look like animal scratches on what otherwise are exceptionally nice boots!
