Vintage brown leather thigh-high boots sell well!

These vintage brown leather thigh-high boots received three bids and sold for an impressive $300.  These boots were a size 9 and featured high stacked heels.

The seller stated these boots were likely from the 1970s or 1980s.  These would look great paired with skinny jeans!

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.








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!

Classic vintage 1980s 9 West OTK boots make a rare appearance

These vintage late 1980s OTK boots by 9 West sold for $59.99.  These boots were a size 9 and made in Brazil.  The seller stated this style was called "Starlight."

These boots measure 25" high with a very walkable 3" heel.  These have some nice slouch to them and I've also seen them worn cuffed.  These appear to be in exceptional condition, especially for boots that are around 30 years old.  The seller even posted a photo of their original box.  Also, kudos to the seller for nice modeling to show how they look with both solid and patterned tights.

I originally saw these boots listed in a Macy's California ad around 1985, I think.  It seems like the original price was $200.

Someone got a very well-made pair of boots in a timeless style that will go great with everything from leggings to skinny jeans to skirts.  Considering the rare style, condition and large size, I'm a little disappointed that these didn't sell for more.

A pair of vintage Dolce and Gabbana thigh-high boots sells for $350 but needs some real rehab

These rare vintage Dolce and Gabbana black leather thigh-high boots sold for $350.  The seller originally listed them for with a Buy It Now price of $1,000 before dropping the price to $500 and then $350.

These D/G boots have long been some of my favorites.  Any other time, these boots, in this size 40, would have been very tempting had they been in better condition.  Unfortunately, there appeared to be a fair amount of wear to the leather around the soles, heels and toes.  However, the real dealbreaker was that it appeared that the heel on the right boot had been broken and not properly repaired.  It looks to be almost bent in this first photo.


And in these photos, there's an obvious split in the sole at the top of the heel.  Laying side by side, it also appears that the heels don't line up.


Any other time, $350 would have been a deal for these boots.  However, to get them in "like new" condition seems like it would take another $200 investment from a good shoe repair shop.  While these boots are usually super sexy, this is a pair of "project boots" for someone who doesn't mind spending some extra money to make them really nice again!



Again, that heel looks like it's facing too far to the front in this photo below.



Those poor heels are just trashed!



For what it's worth, the buyer did leave a positive review with just the text "great quality."  Assuming they studied the auction photos, at least they knew what they were getting into!

Vintage 1980s Wild Pair black leather ankle boots

These vintage 1980s Wild Pair black leather ankle boots with sexy spiked heels and nicely rounded toes sold for their starting bid of $35.  These size 9 boots featured 5-inch heels.

Considering how rarely this style appears for sale, I'm surprised they didn't sell for more.  However, it appears there's some deterioration to the leather lining.

These would look great paired with skinny jeans or skinny leather pants.
