Updated: Vintage 1980s Black Leather Boots w/ Studs, size 8M



Item: This is a pair of vintage 80s Dingo black leather cowboy boots that have been embellished with silver pyramid studs by the awesome Molly of Rackk and Ruin, who has one my favorite etsy shops, as well as a blog where she buys vintage and alters it, Off the Rackk, which is where I bought these boots.  They're a size 8M, according to the stamp inside the boots, with a rounded point toe, and decorative stitching.  

Why I'm getting rid of it: I'm usually more of an 8.5, but I jumped on these anyway.  When I got them, I told myself maybe I'd get them professionally stretched, but I just haven't.  

Asking: $35, including shipping anywhere in the U.S.

Listing ends: Sunday, Feb. 20.  Please leave a comment if interested, and email me at dlittlegarden{at}yahoo{dot}com with specific questions.

Thanks!

Update: Here's some more info on the boots' measurements:
The boots measure 8 inches from the heel sole to the top of the shaft, and 9.25 inches from the side of the boot's sole to the top of the shaft (because they have the traditional scalloped shape to the top of the shaft).  They're pretty easy to slip on, and I measured the widest part of the shaft's width laying flat (the top) -- 6 inches, so 12 inch circumference.

Hey- I really like these- very cool/different! Can you tell me how tall is the shaft part(in inches) ? And also are they fairly easy to pull on, assuming they fit otherwise? IOnce I get this info, I'll most likely throw my name in. Thanks:-)

Thanks for the question, Jewelz4208.

Hello - I'm interested but also new to LGE... how does this work exactly?Also, I should note that I live in Canada, and as such I agree to pay more for shipping if so needed.

Thank you,

Hi again-thanks for the measurements. Definitely count me in. These are so unique; The combination of silver studs & western boot makes for such an unexpected + stylish effect- I actually started subscribing to the Racck + Ruin blog... I hope I'm chosen:-) Thanks!
