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:

The ultimate! A true holy grail pair of the famous and ultra rare Wild Pair crotch boots!!! BRAND NEW never worn!! Did not even try on for photos. An unblemished time capsule from the Wild Pair stores of the 80’s! Gorgeous vintage black luscious and slinky leather with a beautiful gloss sheen. I’m a Wild Pair collector and this is by far the nicest pair I have ever seen. Perfect condition. Leather, toes, heels and bottoms are like brand new. A crown jewel of any collection. 34” long so these baddies will go all the way up! 4” heels and 20” at the top with a slight split collar to accommodate almost any leg. Can be worn folded down. Have them headline your collection or wear these bad girls to turn every head in the room. Very wearable and walkable. Pull on no zips to distract from the beautiful black leather! Impossible to find size 8.5!!! Once in a lifetime pair. Will offer for a limited time. No offers please.

Coach Monet black leather OTK dress boots

I've been watching this particular style for quite awhile now, hoping to snag a deal on a pair.  However, these Coach Monet black leather OTK boots seem to hold their value as this pair sold for an impressive $155!

These size 11B boots were made in Italy.  The seller stated that these measured 23" cuffed and 25" uncuffed.  They appear to be in excellent condition as the seller stated that she only wore them twice.  Even better, they came in their original box.

These sexy boots would look great paired with everything from skinny jeans to a sweater dress.

It's too bad the seller removed the original price tag because I'd love to know what these retailed for.  All the seller stated was that "these were very expensive at the time."

Wild Pair crotch boots fetch a very impressive $382!

These vintage Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots fetched one of the highest prices I've seen in awhile, selling for a very impressive $382!  This was especially impressive considering they're a small size 7. 

These lightly worn boots measured a whopping 34" and look great both cuffed and uncuffed.

A real deal on Coach "Monet" OTK boots

For $49.99, someone got a great deal on some of my all-time favorite Coach boots.  These "Monet" style OTK boots were a size 6.5 and in excellent condition despite some decent wear to the soles.  These "made in Italy" boots feature nice buckle and strap detail at the ankles and uppers as well as the ability to cuff/uncuff them to change the appearance.  They featured partial zipper openings, practical 4" narrow stacked heels and impressive 19" OTK Italian leather uppers.

This style rarely appears on eBay and is the perfect style to wear with a skirt to the office or with skinny jeans for a sexy date night!

Unworn Wild Pair crotch-high boots sell for $275

These Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots in a size 6.5B sold for their impressive Buy It Now price of $275 plus pricey $17.45 shipping.

These boots measured an impressive 34" tall and appear to be unworn, which likely helped fetch a nice price despite their small size.  However, as with most Wild Pair boots this vintage, it appears that the heel tips are cracking and will need to be replaced.  Fortunately, this is an inexpensive repair.

A deal on Giuseppe Zanotti dress boots with sexy stiletto heels

Someone got a deal on these Giuseppe Zanotti black leather knee-high heel heel dress boots for $120 plus shipping.  These sexy Italian boots were a size 39 and featured 4.5 stiletto heels.  They originally retailed for $900 and came with a dust bag.

While these boots are often shown cuffed, I like that the seller "livefire" showed these uncuffed so that they could possibly be worn as over-the-knee style boots.

Regardless, I think these boots would look great worn to the office with a pencil skirt or out for a night on the town over skinny jeans.

Candela "Cloti" OTK boots sell for what?!

eBay boot seller "bootshopmauro" continues to have very impressive sales with high-end used boots.  This pair of Candela "Cloti" OTK boots received 60 bids and sold for a very impressive $430!

These beautiful boots were made in Italy, a popular size 9, and appeared to be in mint condition!  The seller stated these had a 4.5" heel and an impressive 26" height above the heels.  Although the seller didn't show them cuffed, I've seen these cuffed nicely in other photos, which makes for a totally different look.

  

I've always thought the style of the boots was timeless: high stacked heels, nicely rounded toes, and very clean lines with pull-on styling.  I also think the subtle strap detail around the ankle is a nice touch.

Actually, I thought the seller described them best:

Amazing beautiful, high, very long and very rare VINTAGE overknee leatherboots by CANDELA ITALY!

Very good condition, made from soft but stable real-leather!
