Not ugly, fairly stylish. Little more exotic than I’d go for, but I don’t think the one boot alone would have svelte lads hitting on you. (Of course, if that’s the goal, they certainly shouldn’t hurt.)
I would never buy something like that. It looks like something someone in “The Road Warrior” might wear, except for the cheezy “iron cross” symbol, which looks like something a 14 year old sk8er kid who shops at Hot Topic might wear. For the price, I would want a pair of shoes or boots with some class to them, and those aren’t it.
I really loathe the whole trend of “spend hundreds of dollars for something that looks like it’s worn and weathered.” I’m not against spending a lot of money on quality clothes - but it’s stupid to buy something that’s made to look old and tattered and broken-in.
Ugly
I think it’s hideous on its own. I can imagine it working with a certain outfit on a certain person, in theory, but I doubt most people could pull it off.
Ugly. And they cost $400 freakin’ dollars!!!
If the toe is going to curl up like that ALL the time, it should be pointier.
‘Hideous’ was my first reaction too.
Fugly
Also, it’s not “black leather.” If I asked a leatherworker to make me a pair of black boots and that’s what he gave me, I would horsewhip him.
Looks like something out of a steampunk novel.
There must be someone out there who can pull them off. But not anyone I know.
It looks like the boot of Rita’s sleazebag ex-husband Paul which featured prominently in an episode of the show Dexter, which I rewatched a couple of nights ago. It didn’t work for him, either.
Or perhaps something the Reavers would wear.
I dropped my crossbow onto the bloodied cobblestones of the chapel floor. Lying at my feet, the mortally wounded cyber-vamp Morcutio struggled for his last short gasps of air, and then quieted. His clear blue eyes open and staring upwards at nothing.
I rifled his pockets quickly for any ammunition or provisions but found none. Then I noticed his boots. Boots that would protect against the relentless ice and snow of this Eastern-European township. Boots that would help me blend in among the undead. Slouched shaft; side zip.
Blue lining, dragon design on the sole, with a stacked heel. Boots of the vampire slayer +1.
I pulled them off the corpse, and noticed that they bore a name. “Tod’s Darkstar”. If I remembered by middle-german correctly, Tod means ‘death’. How appropriate, I thought as I strode off in search of my next kill.

Are you going as Mad Max for Halloween? I can’t see the appeal otherwise.
They’d work great with the right outfit, but I’m having a hard time articulating exactly what the right outfit would be. I still wouldn’t pay $400 for them, though, even if I did have the right outfit.
Have you applied to work for the J. Peterman Catalog yet?
Ugly.
They’re trying too hard- the design is over the top, with all those appliqued things.
Okay, now I want them.
Those iron-cross designs haven’t been cool for, like, 8 years, and even then they were only “cool” with sk8rs and people who like Orange County Choppers. Unless you’re a German military officer, you have no business wearing those silly things.
