It's a desert boot style ... they've been a thing in NYC for a while, I guess.

i like those! i almost bought a pair last weekend that were sort of like that, but they have a sort of golf shoe fringe across the top instead of lacing up. if that makes any sense.
― lauren, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 14:32 (fifteen years ago) link
TZA: I dunno, I think those are a tiny bit precious but cute! Probably not a bad idea at all. Unless the quality is terrible, I didn't look that closely.
daria, I don't think they're ugly at all. But then I like Clark's, too.

Lauren, who made the very delicate brogue-styled black lace-ups you had on the other day??

you'll never believe it... steve madden. which explains why the "leather" already has started to flake on the toes.

Oh bah. I keep telling myself: NO MORE STEVE MADDEN. And then I hear the siren song of some glossy or metallic flat...

yeah i saw some boots on endless i thought were cute and then noticed "STEVE MADDEN" and did not click.

what do you ladies think of these Alaia heels:http://www.shoewawa.com/azzedine%20alaia%20heels%20ankle.jpg
i think they're alright, but i think they were one of the most photographed shoes this past paris season. i got at least 4 different women in them (editors of i-D, vogue nippon, tank magazine, and tinsley mortimer..)
also, theyre $1000
― phil-two, Saturday, 25 October 2008 16:00 (fifteen years ago) link
those are beautiful.
― horseshoe, Saturday, 25 October 2008 17:02 (fifteen years ago) link
i actually like them. not the usual style i go for, though (ha - "go for." more like "admire from afar").
― lauren, Saturday, 25 October 2008 17:10 (fifteen years ago) link
Agree and agree: beautiful AND, if you can get past the heel height, very wearable, being black and unembellished except by the pos/neg contrast of the straps.
Also they look like they would cradle your instep and ankles in glove-soft leather. Win!

AHAHA so the girls are allowing themselves to be peeped now?
No, Alaia does no wrong. Am mad for the molded YSL shoe boot thing and do not have £700 for anything but a new computer.
So imagine my shock and awe when visiting the charity shop on the way back from my appt. and VALENTINO COUTURE CROC-SKIN SHOE-BOOTS WITH 5' STILETTO in BLACK. FOUR BRITISH POUNDS.
These are totally taxi shoes and I'm looking fwd to basic stiletto training seeing as I've been in ballet flats all summer.

haha! yeah, i got a good one of E, but she was cagey at first then I dropped YOUR name and she was like OHHH YEAH, ok go on then. Haha, thanks for that! Then I kept seeing her at parties at like 4am and she was much nicer. Also I was drunk and confessed that I have a little crush on, um, charlie. ha ha ha ha ha. so cute...
F, on the other hand, denied me photolove a couple times, but I did manage to get one of her when I piggy backed along when a more 'famous' streetsnapper was photographing her.

to clarify: justin is manufacturer, roper is type of boot (not like mr. roper)

aren't they great? i have another pair of justin boots and they are so solidly made, i decided to look for others. new they're like $133, but there are a lot of them on ebay. they look just like these but without the fringe

there is a shoe-repair/maker place near my work that has all these awesome boots in teh window but i feel like they've had all these awesome boots in the window since 1974... but whatever, i am going to go in and see what happens and if thye have justin boots or similar. i really want a pair of dark grey boots. which i know is not something ya find everyday.

for the record, i saw red, black, green, turquoise, navy, white and pearl in that same "roper" style on ebay...they won't all be the right size, color, or price, but you're sure to find something.
i found the red ones at a goodwill in ohio like 5 years ago, and there was a white pair too. they were both brand new, unworn, in my size. for the last 5 years i have regretted not buying the white ones. they were the ones that got away. i even called back to ask my mom to buy them like a day later and they were gone ;_;
