More proof that classic boots are still in demand


These vintage 1970s burnt sienna OTK boots remind me of the pair one of my eighth-grade (yes, eighth-grade!) classmates wore over jeans for a dance performance our class did. Yes, boots got my attention way back then! I especially like the pocket detail on these.

Proving that classic boots are timeless, these size 7 boots sold for an impressive $110.38.

Minimal auction ad nets a decent sale


With only one photo and this one line of text - Barely used sexy thigh high boots. Genuine leather through and through. - These size 10 boots sold for an impressive $89.99.

They look like vintage Frederick's of Hollywood boots.

Poppies motorcycle-style OTK boots sell well



These vintage 1980s motorcycle-style OTK boots by Poppies sold for an impressive $152.50. As they're a size 9, I would have been interested in bidding, but the final price was more than I wanted to spend.

Love the background too, especially the Jethro Tull album cover!

Classic OTK boots sell for $120+

These size 11 classic black leather boots sold for an impressive $121.00. I think the nice modeling and the large size helped fetch a decent price for these boots.

These remind me of the $150 boots I bought for my wife several years ago at Nordstrom in San Francisco.

Masculine, yet very sexy, Chanel thigh boots



This is the second pair of these Chanel thigh-high boots I've seen on eBay this season, and both pairs fetched impressive prices. These size 8.5 boots sold for $510!

The seller stated that an ex-boyfriend bought these boots for her. This ex-boyfriend had good taste in boots, must have had decent money to spend on boots, and must have really wanted to see his girlfriend in these very expensive boots!

It's interesting how the footbed of these boots has such a masculine style, yet the height on these boots makes them very feminine and sexy.

Mens North Beach Leather trench

At $227.50, eBay seller "leatherfashions" (great name!) got a good price for this size 36 mens' North Beach Leather trench coat, especially in what I would consider "off-season" for leather coats. An impressive price and an even more impressive 33 bids!

This style looks similar to the mens' NBL trench I bought and later sold on eBay because it didn't fit me as well as the womens' NBL style.

Custom black leather crotch boots sell for $335


These custom black leather crotch high boots in a size 12 sold for a very impressive $335.02.

With a shaft height of 35 inches and no cuffability, you'd have to do a lot of scrunching or have really long legs to pull off this look.

Stunning boots, but I'm not a fan of the silver zippers.
