Impressive vintage designer OTK black leather boots

Swiss boot seller "bootshopmauro" sold these impressive vintage designer OTK black leather boots for $139.06. These size 38 boots received 22 bids and measured an impressive 27" tall.  I wish the seller had listed who made these because they'd be worth seeking out.

I especially like the clean lines with no zippers and the straight "stovepipe" shafts with minimal stitching.

A favorite style of vintage Saks boots makes a rare appearance

These vintage black leather boots by Saks Fifth Avenue were listed with a Buy It Now price of $50.00, but were sold for a Best Offer.  These boots were a size 8 and made in Italy.
This style has always been a favorite of mine for its classic styling: clean lines (no zippers), straight shaft, nice spiked heels and almond toes.







Unfortunately, with many vintage Italian boots from this time, there seems to be a lot of powdering and a look down inside reveals that to be the case with these boots as well.

A seller lists some very nice vintage Italian boots with a crazy Buy It Now price of $600!

These rare vintage 1970s-1980s size 8.5 Italian leather boots by Pollini were originally listed with a Buy It Now price of $600.  As attractive as these boots are, I thought they were tremendously overpriced...by about $500!  As it turns out, these sold for a Best Offer, and I'd really like to know how much the buyer got the seller to come down from that crazy Buy It Now price!

What I like about these boots, and most vintage Italian boots, is the quality leather, straight shaft, and narrow stacked heel.  These would look amazing paired with skinny jeans or a pencil skirt!

Vintage 1980s Italian OTK boots by Mary Popps








These vintage 1980s Italian black leather over-the-knee boots by Mary Popps sold for a very impressive $237.50, especially in a small size 6.5  I'm not so sure about the red piping but I really like the 30" height, nice cuffs, straight lines, and sexy spiked heels.

I think these fetched such a high price because these boots very rarely appear on eBay.  They also appear to be in excellent condition!
