Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" OTK boots continue to sell well

One of my all-time favorite boot styles, the Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" OTK boots, continue to sell well.  Even though Nordstrom re-released them last season in suede, the smooth leather style which has not been produced for several years now, continues to sell well.  Without a doubt, these are some of the most comfortable boots I've ever owned and look great paired with skinny jeans and a black leather jacket!

This size 8.5 pair, in good pre-owned condition, received 43 bids and sold for $226.50.

This "new with defects" pair in a size 9.5 sold for an impressive $350.  The seller indicated that there were minor scuff marks on the leather uppers (see bottom two photos).  Otherwise, this is the nicest condition I've seen these boots in awhile.

It makes me wonder if this seller in Hopkins, Minnesota, has access to a Stuart Weitzman Factory Outlet store as they have several new and "new with defects" pairs of Weitzman boots listed for sale.  These boots with slight blemishes would definitely be the type to appear in an outlet store.
