astrid Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hi all, Opinions wanted and welcomed. I have always had a deep deserve for jimmy choo boots and whilst window shopping in Dublin city centre, I stumbled across a wonderful pair of boots. I have googled them and I am 99% certain that they are the ones below. http://www.jimmychoo.com/pws/ProductDetails.ice?ProductID=39871 Anyway, after falling in love with them I looked at the sole to see a price tag of €799.00. Is this too much for a pair of boots? Astrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waisted_Giraffe Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 "Is this too much for a pair of boots?" - only if you can't justify the outlay. but seriously, you are paying for a name and a certain level of exclusivity.....I highly doubt they are actually worth that amount on a materials & time cost basis of manufacture, the cost of a "name" comes from the design time / number of pairs to be made..... Too much for me in anyway; i still can't justify £110 on the Vivienne Westwood designed Melissa 3 straps....... Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-a Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'll have to agree with Big D... You pay a lot of extra money to get the designer name but as long as you're ok with that and you feel that you've got the money then go for it. I would love to own a pair of Louboutins just to get the feeling of owning a pair of shoes that exclusive and exspensive. With that said I still think that they're way to overpriced based on materials etc. But in my current position I would never buy them because I prefer having food on the table The most important thing to ask yourself is "Do I feel that these boots are worth €799 for me?" “Sometimes you have to sacrifice your performance for high heels” www.heelsoholic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighboots Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Did you buy the boots in the end? I have brought a pair of Orchid knee high boots from Jimmy Choo, they look the sane as Peony, but the heel us about 2 cm taller! If you got them I would be interested to gear what the fit is like!

astrid Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi, I got lucky, very lucky. Was out and about shopping one day and went into a designer shoe shop that was closing down. I got a pair in there for silly money, €160 or something like that. The shop owner was really nice to me and was happy to get anything for them because she was shutting shop in a matter of days. I posted about it in more detail on the forum last year. On fit, I find them fantastic. You notice the quality when you put them on compared to any other boots I own and I have spent €150 or so on plenty of pairs of boots. I have posted links to mine from my album below. The heel height is really nice for me but its my limit to be honest. I only wear them in-house. I dont want to ruin them and the heels would get worn really quickly if I wore them out and about. However, much as I love them, I couldnt justify spending €799 on them. They are worth €300.00 max, in my opinion. How are you finding yours?
