A beautiful pair of vintage 1980s black leather Wild Pair thigh-high boots

eBay boot seller "blacbird95" sold these vintage Wild Pair black leather thigh-high boots for their Buy It Now price of $169.

Although pre-owned, these size 8.5 boots were in near-mint condition.

This has always been one of my favorite Wild Pair styles with sleek, pull-on styling, sexy spiked heels, almond toes and grommet detailing near the top of the shafts.  Had these been in a larger size, I might have been tempted to snap them up!

These would be great boots to pair with skinny jeans and a black leather jacket for a rock concert date night!

A nicely-modeled pair of Wild Pair crotch boots sells for a very respectable $355!

Although originally listed with a Buy It Now price of $499.99, the seller changed to an auction format and sold these vintage 1980s Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots for a very respectable $355.

With the exception of a few minor nicks to the leather and minor wear to the sole, these vintage boots were in very good condition and in a popular size 8.5.

I especially have to appreciate the freshly modeled photo showing these boots paired with what appears to be a striped swimsuit or leotard.  The boots look stunning out in that bright sunshine and I only wish the seller had provided a few more well-modeled photos.

Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots sell for $180

These Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" black leather thigh-high boots received 10 bids and sold for $180.50.  With $20 for shipping, someone got a pair of my all-time favorite boots for just $200, which seems to be about the going rate for these boots these days.

Although the seller listed these size 8.5 boots as "new without box," the photo of the soles appears to show some embedded dirt.  Otherwise, these boots appear to be in like-new condition. 

Although not modeled, the seller provided some very nice photos.  However, it always makes me cringe when sellers of these boots show them folded over.  These boots were not meant to be worn cuffed, hence the elastic gore at the top rear of the shafts!

Another vintage pair of thigh-high boots sells for $300!

Another successful sale for ebay boot seller "minchycouture."

These rare Euro Club for Wild Pair vintage 1980s black leather thigh-high boots sold for an impressive $299.99.

These boots measure an impressive 29" tall with 4" heels and feature pull-on styling and four buckles near the top.  

For vintage boots, these are in excellent, lightly-worn condition with almost no wear on the sales.  As always from this seller, very nicely modeled!

Vintage Wild Pair crotch-high boots sell for $500?!

 eBay boot seller "minchycouture" sold these vintage Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots for their Buy It Now price of $499.99.  I attribute this exceptional sale to the fact that the boots were in true "new without box" condition, a popular size 8.5 and very nicely modeled.

The 34" shafts of these boots appear to be in flawless condition as well as the spiky 4" heels.  As always, kudos to the fine modeling by this seller, which really helps sell these collectible boots!  If I had one issue, and it's minor, I wish the seller would have shown how well these boots cuff as well.

I'll let the seller's exceptionally well-written auction text speak for itself:
