eBay Ninja: Steve Madden Haviland Boots

Steve Madden Haviland Boots

A little known fact about me? I AM AN EBAY NINJA. No joke. I can bid with the best of 'em. Seriously, I can't even begin to tell you all about amazing deals that I've scored. Out of all of them, this may be my finest. I was in the market or a nice pair of affordable black leather over-the-knee boots. The key word there is affordable. I would love a pair of Stuart Weitzman 50/50s, but I don't have an extra $600 laying around. Finding over-the-knee boots has been a struggle since I have such skinny legs. A Google search led me to these.

These are from last season, so they were only available on ebay. The Ebay Gods were smiling down on me, because I easily found a pair in my size. And the starting bid was only $20!!!! They're real leather and retailed for about $150+!!! Eventually, I ended up winning them for $41!!! WIN!!!

Overall, I'm very happy with them.They were in near-perfect condition with only a couple scuff marks.The leather is nice and soft, and I love that they have a little 1 inch stacked heels. I'm tall, so they only come a little over my knees. They're super comfortable and I can wear them all day with ease. Though I read that these are great for skinny, lil' chicken legs like mine, they were still too big. They sag a bit when I just wear leggings or tights, but they're fantastic with skinny jeans tucked in. So happy I have these to get me through the winter months!
