Those are so hot. I want them. I don't care if they're for men. I'll still wear them.

I love the black and tan ones!

Are these authentic...? What do you think...It was on ebay and they were kinda cheap.

Do they even make fakes? ..how to know if it`s fake...? Ohhh my....I have too many questions... Any answers?

 

[oceanharlot]

they look like the ones on those japanese websites that sell them, which i think, makes them real, but i'm not sure. they dont look like the ones on the cat walks so much.

and yes, those are authentic. i know that logo in the background from a japanese website that sells a lot of vivienne westwood.

That's odd - the soles are significantly thinner, so is the leather (see the difference in the folds), and the color is pallid (though the latter could be the fault of the photography). I am a skeptic.

i have a pair in black and tan, those one's look authentic. the soles look thinner than the one's at the top of the page, if thats what you mean emery, but they look the same size as my boots.

I was a little bit confused by the buckles. On some Westwoods they look round, on others square. Cause I thought on this model they have to be round

By the way, what japanese site are you talking about...? :fower:

^Hmmm - not only that, the buckles are TOTALLY different: the keeper for the free end of the strap is metal, instead of leather as on the runway ones. My skepticism grows.

original pirate boots have a thin sole like that (which i like) .... the ones at the top of the page are a new 2005 version for men with a thicker sole.

Ah, I see - that shrinks my skepticism!

 

[oceanharlot]

why can't someone sell theirs on eBay for unbelievably cheap and accidentally misspell Westwood, so then i can amazingly and accidentally in a moment of fate come upon them and win them?


wouldnt that rock? for me that is. not for the seller. . .

 

[tindi-rindi]

I was wondering where to get those cuties too.

That Japan site seems like talking to me in unknown rectagular language.
Maybe there is someone whoknows where to buy pirate boots (and with shipment aviable in Europe)..?

you have to order them from the westwood shop in london. they are made to order and take 6-8 weeks
