Vintage Biondini OTK boots sell for $185!

These vintage Biondini OTK boots sold for their impressive Buy It Now price of $185.  These size 7 boots were made in Italy and featured a classic design with foldover cuffs and what appear to be very walkable, yet sexy, spiked heels.  Cuffed, the seller stated these were knee-high at 21".  Uncuffed, the seller stated these were thigh-high at 27".  I wish the seller would have shown them uncuffed!

As with most vintage boots, these needed to have the heel tips replaced, but that's an easy, inexpensive fix.

These would have been very tempting in a larger size!  The style of these is timeless - classic black leather dress boots that looks great with everything from skinny jeans to a pencil skirt for the office!

Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots perform extremely well in a large size

Swiss boot seller "bootshopmauro" fetched one of the best prices I've seen for Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots lately - $538!  I attribute this to the excellent condition and especially the rare large size 42 (US 11.5).  These boots measure an impressive 27.5" tall and the seller stated that these were new, never worn.

What's interesting is that these are actually labeled "Stuart Weitzman for Russell Bromley" in London.

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.
