IC: Wings+Horns Service Boots, Sz. 8 (Fits 9), Jil Sander Boots (by Lattanzi), Sz. 9

[ghostface]

Hey guys,

Doing a couple of interest checks here. I was going to wait until fall to put these up, but figured I might as well do so now, in case anyone wants to get a jump on their F/W wardrobe.

-Prices include shipping in CONUS (if you live elsewhere, please ask for a shipping quote).

-I've sold 30+ items here and on the other SF-- never with any problems-- so please don't hesitate to ask if you'd like references.

-I'm generally happy to listen to offers, but please make them reasonable if you expect them to lead anywhere.

1. Wings+Horns Service Boots, Black, Size 8 (which fits 8.5-9.5)

You all know these. A really beautiful, unique pair of boots in thick, buttery soft leather. Great construction. Handmade in Canada by Dayton. This is the smooth leather version from a couple of seasons ago, before they switched to making the black in nubuck leather. As you can see from the photos, these are in nearly new condition. I'd rate them a 9+/10. Vibram sole protection has been added.

SOLD.

2. IC: Jil Sander Handmade Boots (by Silvano Lattanzi), Size 9

These may be the nicest boots I've ever handled. They're also the most expensive, retailing for $2600+. I'm putting these up as an IC just because I rarely find myself wearing them, though I'm tempted to keep them just for their value as art objects.

These were handmade in Italy by Silvano Lattanzi, who is sometimes said to be the finest shoemaker in the world. Beautiful, dark brown calfskin. Extremely comfortable. Wooden sole, with Vibram rubber added. I'd say that their condition is 9/10 (there are several faint scuffs and some creasing at the forefoot, though you can see how little they've been worn from the condition of the soles). The original insoles are missing.

SOLD.
