Ready Boots? Start Walkin'!

Breaking news! This just in:

I found these on eBay. They're Charles David, but better yet, they are only $35. Granted, they aren't perfect, but they do have a thicker stacked heel, which I like. The silhouette of the toe looks good and I was looking for a good buckle or zipper detail. I might buy them and DIY-tweak them a little bit (maybe chains or a new buckle or a peep toe or something) to make them look a little fresher. It's probably best if I only pay around $40, though, because I get shoe ADHD and chances are I won't end up wearing a pair of $200 ankle boots enough times to make the purchase very worthwhile.

Oh, Mother Of Pearl I Wouldn't Trade You For Another Girl

I've been looking for a good, black, badass looking pair of ankle boots, but it's hard.

This is my dream pair still, but unavailable in the U.S.

This is a contender from Aldo, but I was really looking for something with a heftier heel.

This pair is from Urban Outfitters... I tried them on, but from the front my feet looked like tiny little baby hooves or something (I'm only a size 6.5, I think I tried on a 6... sometimes a rounded toe makes me look like I have kiddie feet) Urban Outfitters has been personally failing me lately.

And I found these from Moschino, but they're so out of my price range... just eye-candy :) They remind me a little of the new Acne wedges. Sexy monster of Frankenstein shoes?

Anyway, the search continues, but I will keep y'all posted!

To Die By Your Side, Well The Pleasure - The Privilege Is Mine

WANTED: 1 pair booties. Must be "made for walkin'." If found, please contact me ASAP. K thnx, bai!

So, Carolina Engman bought these from Din Sko. To my complete and utter disappointment, Din Sko does not deliver their amazingly cute shoes outside of the Netherlands. Sad. So I tried to find something comparable in the states. I should try Aldo maybe.

So, our first contestant was this pair from Urban, at 50% off. I didn't like that the shaft was meant to be significantly roomier than necessary for a leg, though. It was even like that on the model in the catalog. I wanted something more fitted to look seamless when worn with black tights/leggings.

Next I tried these. Kind of the same problem. The part with the grommets was sort of floating above my foot, as if the shoe had been expecting a rather swollen foot/ankle to fill it. Maybe I could have gone down half a size if they had carried it, but everything else seemed to fit fine... Sad

Just spotted these online. I quite like them, so maybe the others not fitting was a sign. I'm not going to order them blindly, though, because clearly fit is touch and go.

Hopefully, one day, I will find my sole-mates... (har har)
