highheelboot Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Hi - Hopefully some of you would have had time to read my introduction in the 'welcome section'. I am looking for a new pair of leather crotch high boots to add to my collection - I have £300 - £400 at an absolute max to spend. I was hoping someone who has brought some quality crotch boots might be out there to offer some advice! I have a pair of these which are getting a bit tired: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gr-44-BITTE-ANSEHEN-Biondini-High-Heels-Leder-Crotch-Uberknie-Stiefel-Italien-/290854890156?pt=DE_Damenschuhe&hash=item43b84d6aac I was just going to buy another pair, but found these by Arollo, but do not know anything about this company?? - does anyone know what thier boots are like?? http://www.arollo.net/thigh-high-long-overknee-high-heel-stiletto-boots/ Which do you prefer?? or if you know of any other similar boots I would be intersted! Thanks
highheelboot Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 Hi there, would be great to here from any fellow boot lovers re this??
Richy Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Can recommend very highly GianricoMori on ebay as a source. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Gianrico-Mori Buy it now prices are high but the auctions regularly go for between £200 and £250. Sizes up to 45 eu which would have a 15.5cm heel (size 39 has a 14.5cm heel for guidance). Real leather and very long length normally with full length zip. For example .http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MORI-LUXURY-EXTREME-HOT-OVERKNEE-MADE-ITALY-STIEFEL-BOOTS-LEDER-SCHWARZ-BLACK-/181084890697?pt=DE_Damenschuhe&hash=item2a29802649 To give an idea of the leg length, the woman who wore these is 5'4" tall. Postage to the UK was €15 and delivery took place within one week (but that was because they were a stock item). All photos are mine, BTW, not internet finds so please respect that.
highheelboot Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 Thanks Richy - I will have a look at those as a possible option!!
mtnsofheels Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Highheelboot, Another place to check crotch boots our is Jean Gaborit in France. I have as well as other here have purchased boots form them and they are great boots. They can be custom fit or if you are lucky off the shelf fit. Check the out here! http://www.jean-gaborit.com/en/ They produce many styles and sizes, you may find something that works for you!
mtnsofheels Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Well after looking at Richy's link, I now purchased a pair of boots from Gianrico - Mori, on auction. So once I get them I will be able to give an update...reasonably priced in the end too! Thanks Richy!
Richy Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 You're welcome. I don't think that you'll be disappointed if they are anything like the quality of the ones that I purchased off them.
highheelboot Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 mtnsofheels, how did you get on with the boots?? - Would be good to see a few pictures if they have arrived??
mtnsofheels Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Hi highheelboot, Sorry for the delay in getting back about the boots. I have been away at work and will be for another 3 weeks so it will be awhile before I can get pics out to you. I did receive them but have only glanced at them. they do look awesome though, can't wait to wear them.. Look for pics in late April. Cheers!
mtnsofheels Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Finally I am back at home and now enjoying the pair of Gianrico Mori wedge boots I got on Ebay a few of weeks ago. Here is a couple of pictures as promised of the new boots which are so nice! I am impressed with the delivery from Gianrico Mori and the quality of the boots are really good. Very worth while purchase. Will get a couple more pictures of other pair too. Thanks Richy for leading me to Gianrico Mori ! Here is the OTK version of the ones above, they are so cool!
mtnsofheels Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Have to say that once I started looking at the Gianrico Mori selection on E-bay, I kept going with the bidding. They are very nice boots which feel great and I will be able to use the knee highs in public. That is coming up soon on a trip to big city of Vancouver. Looking forward to that. I was surprised how easy the bidding went too, once I sealed the bid it took a short few days to come from Italy. So glad that chance came up! New areas for looking in the future! Cheers,
crotchhiguy Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Highheelboot,I have purchasd boots from Jean Gaborit(the tobacco brown ones in my pics) and are very pleased with them.......the ones in my avatar pic came from Motorcowboy(motorcowboy.com)....they are made of a thicker leather,lined and have a tall wide heel(compared to spikes or stilettos),slight platform under the toes and easy to walk in,my other pair of crotch high boots came from a seller on ebay.....I paid $199 plus shipping for them years ago......I still see this style of boot being sold but I think the price has gone up $100....these are spike heeled and unlined....all my boots are made of one piece of leather (per side) from the foot to the crotch.......I hate seams below the knee to lengthen the boots as I think it detracts from their appearence.......GOOD LUCK in your quest!!!!!!!
