This style, similar to the Gattaz, was on sale for $250.

But it was really this boot, on sale for $300, that I fell for. With a suede upper part of its upper and a leather lower portion, a diagonal buckle, fine, precise stitching, the sirenesque color and a practical wedge, it was a practical stunner with the best of many worlds.

Unfortunately, I just didn’t think it looked as dynamite on.

At least, not $300 dynamite. Good construction, average looks when on.

Here is a similar pair or Arches online for sale on Ebay.
