These vintage 1980s red leather over-the-knee boots by Mary Popps sold for a deserving $159.50.

These size 9/39 boots were made in Italy and feature black piping and an unusual black zipper on the outer side of the boot shaft.  For vintage boots, they appear to be in very good condition.

While I like the style, I'm not sure how practical red leather boots are, especially OTK boots.  I could see these paired for a holiday party with a black or red sweater dress or for a more casual look, over black skinny jeans.  I suppose they could also be made to work as part of a sexy Wonder Woman costume although these look more like villainess boots to me!

The seller also indicated that these boots could be worn cuffed, and while I do think some boots look very good cuffed, I don't think this style was meant to be cuffed.  It just looks really awkward on these pair with the cuff being open on the side rather than the back of the boots.

Vintage Mary Popps Italian boots sell surprisingly well considering their condition

It appears to be a seller's market for vintage OTK and thigh-high boots right now.

These vintage 1980s OTK boots by Mary Popps started out with a pricey $249.99 opening bid and ended up with 6 bids selling for $288.00!

These size 7.5 boots were made in Italy and surprisingly, the seller provided no measurements whatsoever.  In fact, there was barely even any text except that these were an estate find, have a bit of scuffing, and the top folds down to form a cuff.

While I like the clean lines and pull-on styling, I'm really surprised these boots fetched this price.  They're a smaller size and the heels, heel tips, and soles all show considerable wear.  To get these looking nice with new heel tips and soles would cost the buyer another $50-$75, I suspect.

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!
