I finally collected my third pair of boots yesterday (hated the pair previously bought for Monday) and I have to say I am loving the new pair! Not to mention the idea to split the cost of shipping/duty with two other ladies was genius;not only did our total order qualify for free shipping but the shipping/duty worked out pretty well on the boots, we all came in under $175.00TT TOTAL per pair.
If you have your eye on the pair pictured below, these boots are a much richer and nicer gold than shown. The heel is a hidden wedge too so you get a lift, it is not completely flat. The material is soft to the touch, the toe part is not stiff at all and the boots overall feel comfortable. I also like the height, just under the knee and that the boot is not slouchy at all.

Those are the boots I bought for Tuesday and you are right Saucy, they are VERY comfortable.
I think that stockings are a must with those particularly because of the material. I dunno if it was because it was a hotter than usual day here, but my calves started sweating when I tried them on. Strangely enough tho, my feet were cool.
www.makemechic.com has them the cheapest I've seen and they accept Google Checkout too so people who have international credit cards can still get what they want :D
Yes i am a genius...;-P

Saucy - I've been reading this blog forever and I love it. I met you at the hotel in Miami during Carnival. My friend and I played in Anthony and Richard's costume!! We actually played mas in these exact same boots. They were VERY comfortable the entire day.
Hey cutetrinilawyer, I have pics of your headpiece, met you when we were leaving for DV 8!

Sorry for the late response, I was on a weekend break :)
Saucy,
What color boots do you recommend for Tyrian Purple (besides purple!). You saw the costume up close, is there gold in the waistband? Or is it silver? Thanks in advance . . .
nytrini, Tyrian Purple is gold with crystals. Gold boots will match.
Saucy,
What color boots would you recommend for Mulberry?
Thanks
hmm Light gold for Mulberry
