I agree with both of you! What appear to be identical boots are being offered elsewhere (at significantly higher prices - £150+), which suggests a generic (Chinese) product distrubuted to several outlets. That says nothing about the true quality, although the higher prices do imply that there is some substance to the product. A very tempting purchase, which could of course be returned, but I would never get much use out of them, and probably none outside. Still, it would be great to try them on ...

Like you, my desire to wear boots goes back to childhood - in my case fancying a pair of white go-go boots like this girl in my seventh grade class wore to school about three days a week. And resenting the fact that for me they were forbidden. I don’t remember if they had heels or not - most go-go boots didn’t, I don’t think. I just remember liking the hippie-chic styling and wishing I could wear those too. How and when heels came into the equation, I’m not sure. Even now they are not the be all and end all, but rather a jaunty touch to knee and OTK boots. It’s the overall effect I like, not just the heel.

Yes the styling us very nice. My only reservation would be about the quality of the material and the workmanship. I know nothing of the maker, but faux leather can vary greatly in quality

Boy o boy, those boots would surely be hard to resist.

I would say that my "fascination" with boots and heels began when I was just a little kid. I have often wondered if this "fascination" is something I learned, or was I hardwired this way. Unfortunately, I waited until my late 40s-50s to actually allow myself to admit that I wanted to wear high heel boots and get some.... It has taken me many years since then to develop the courage and confidence to wear them in most any setting these days without the usual self imposed negative feelings. Thanks to all my friends here for your help. Don
