Another Wild Pair work of art



Someone snapped up these sexy size 10B Wild Pair thigh-highs for $179.99 using Buy It Now. Super spiky heels, pull-on styling, an impressive 29" tall, in great condition and a desirable size.

Super sexy suede stiletto Spanish boots!


While I'm not normally a big fan of suede boots, these are nice and fetched a nice price as well - a very impressive $177.50.

Vintage, but they appear to be in mint condition. Made in Spain, they're size 9 with a sexy stiletto heel and 28 inches tall to boot. What's not to like?!

Vintage OTK boots with major cuffs



These vintage over-the-knee boots with major cuffs sold for a respectable $113.50.

With the cuff undone, they measure an impressive 28" tall with a sexy 3 3/4" stacked heel and nicely rounded toes. These rust-colored OTK boots would look great paired with skinny jeans this fall.

The selling price was even more impressive as there was no size listed and the seller wasn't responsive at all ("check the measurements") when someone asked about the size.

Biondini OTK boots with chain decor


Although I could do without the chain decor, these Biondini over-the-knee boots are pretty incredible. As is typical with Biondini boots, I especially like the straight shaft, the clean lines (except for those chains!) and the sexy spiked heels. And the Italian leather just looks gorgeous!

I have to wonder if these chains clank against the boots when you walk in them? In my opinion, that's not necessarily a good thing.

eBay boot seller nunya-bidness sold these size 7.5 boots for $152.60.

A pair of classic black leather OTK boots by Biondini would rank near the top of my boot wish list!

Nine West OTK boots fetch a decent price


It was nice to see these Nine West over-the-knee boots in a size 9.5 sell for a respectable $80.99. They're the same style as those I bought at TJ Maxx at the Legends earlier this year - and these sold for about twice what I paid for mine. Plus, mine are new with tags and these are used.

As I've only tried them on once or twice, I'll probably try to sell my pair on eBay this fall.

Basic black leather thigh boots sell for $173.50


eBay boot seller nunya-bidness scores again by fetching $173.50 for this nice, but basic, pair of black leather thigh boots. They're size 7, 30" or crotch-high and made by Non Stop, a brand I'd never heard of before.

Wild Pair crotch boots sell for $430.50!


Even without better pictures, these size 8.5 Wild Pair crotch boots sold for an amazing $430.50! Even more interesting was that they were listed like this with no mention of of being thigh or crotch-high: THE WILD PAIR FASHION BOOTS SIZE 8 1/2 B WOMEN USED.

When I see these boots fetch prices like this, I'm tempted to put my size 9's up for auction considering how little I get to wear them. I found the selling price especially interesting as I was considering purchasing an iPod Touch 32gb model, which would have set me back about $432.

So why do I keep these boots when they have great resale value on eBay?!

They're made of thick, luscious leather which is rarely found in most boots. Their crotch-height definitely makes them the tallest of any boots I've owned (except for chap boots, which I've decided are impractical). Worn cuffed, they're still thigh-high. Worn uncuffed, they make you feel sooo sexy and powerful. Granted, I'd like spikier heels, but the rest of the boot's style makes up for that. Not having a zipper, they can also be difficult to pull off, but the zipper-less style makes for much cleaner lines.

I also take great satisfaction in the fact that I snatched these up using Buy It Now for $50 plus shipping! That, and the boots have some history, as the seller told me that the only time she wore them was to a Halloween party here in KC!

Okay, I think I'll keep these boots for awhile.
