okay i couldn't get the image to work... but i am looking for a pair of those lace up, high heel, old-fashioned type boots. kinda like the boots rachel brice sometimes wears or the boots worn in practical magic at the end... i hope that makes sense. anyway i almost bought them years ago but didn't bc i thought people would think it was silly, but now i want them! for dance, for the ren fair, and for everyday and i can't find them anywhere! help? please?

Re: boots?
Wed, April 23, 2008 - 11:44 AMI found my pair at a discount store like Marshall's or TJ Maxx....
Try the "designer" websites (9 west, Enzo Angli...can't spell his last name) but you're right I haven't seen them in YEARS.
We used to call them "granny boots or witch boots"

Wed, April 23, 2008 - 12:39 PMThere was a discussion about this a bit ago.. no clue what it was titled or where it was... buuuut. The boots Rachel wears ore fluevogs... found here.

Wed, April 23, 2008 - 1:49 PMHere's a link to a website that has some nice Victorian-looking laceup dance boots:

I haven't bought from them yet, so I can't speak for quality. Capezio makes the real deal, specifically for dancing, but they're $300- plus.

Wed, April 23, 2008 - 2:15 PMMost recent Thread. There's an older one too.

There was one a while back on this Tribe also.
You can type 'boot' into the Tribe search and it'll pull up a bunch.

Thu, April 24, 2008 - 6:53 PMI just bought a brand new pair today from a seller called Affinityretail on E-Bay and with $9.95 UPS shipping the toal cost came to 32.00. Can't beat that price, and they had more on auction....Just do a seller search, or do a search for granny/lace up boots.
