An off-season deal on Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" thigh-high boots

Someone got a deal on these size 7.5 Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots for their starting bid of $199. These new without tags (NWOT) boots had a pricey Buy It Now price of $599, close to their original retail.

Kudos to the seller for some nice photography of some of my all-time favorite boots!

Extra long black leather opera gloves still strong sellers

These 30" long black leather opera gloves in a size large received an impressive 37 bids and sold for $94.00.  They were listed as "new without tags" so I'd be very curious as to the brand and quality.



Candela "Cloti" over-the-knee boots make a rare appearance on eBay

Although the auction was ended early because "the item was no longer available for sale," I couldn't resist sharing the nicely modeled photos of these caramel-colored Candela "Cloti" boots.  These boots rarely appear on eBay.

These size 9 boots were listed on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $220.  The seller indicated they were only worn twice.  Although the seller didn't show these boots cuffed, I know from personal experience that they can be worn cuffed for a different look.  Again, the perfect style to wear with skinny jeans (not bad with shorts, either!).






Vintage burgundy boots sell well!

Even without better photos and pricey $21 shipping, these vintage 1980s burgundy leather boots sold for an impressive $90.99.

These vintage boots were a size 8 and made in Spain for The Broadway.  I especially like the tall, narrow stacked heels and clean pull-on styling.  These would look great worn over skinny jeans.

It's nice to see that timeless boots like these are still sought after!

A deal on vintage studded thigh-high black leather boots

Although these were listed with a Buy It Now price of $45.00, which was already a good deal, someone got an even better deal with their Best Offer on these size 7.5 vintage black leather thigh-high boots. This vintage style boot rarely appears on eBay and with the studs, is the perfect boot for Sturgis or a rock concert.  These boots feature stud detailing near the tops which really makes them unique.  There are also snaps which I assume are for attaching them to a belt to make them into chap boots.

Nice photos, but I would've liked to have seen more modeling than just this one photo.





Vintage 1980s black leather thigh-high boots, nicely modeled

eBay boot seller "marmfrut" sold these vintage 1980s black leather thigh-high boots for their Buy It Now price of $70.00.  These size 6.5 boots remind me of vintage Frederick's of Hollywood boots.  I like their classic styling with the spiky heels and almond-shaped toes.  The pull-on styling makes for some very clean lines and these can be worn cuffed or uncuffed.  When worn uncuffed, these sexy boots measure an impressive 25.5" tall.









For vintage boots, these appear to be in excellent condition!

Vintage Wild Pair thigh-high black leather boots sell for $255!

eBay boot seller "marmfrut" sold these vintage Wild Pair black leather thigh-high boots for an impressive $255.00.  These stunning boots were a size 7 and measured 29" tall.  It probably helped that these were in excellent condition with very light wear on the soles and came with their original, vintage Wild Pair box.

I've always really liked this Wild Pair style, but have never been able to find it in my size.  I especially like the pull-on style which gives it very clean lines with no zippers.  These can also be worn cuffed, which gives them  more versatility.

As always, kudos to the seller for her usual excellent modeling which does a great job of showing off these incredibly sexy boots!



















If I remember the Wild Pair label coding correctly, these were a 1986 style and originally sold for $139.
