What doc martens boots do you think would go with a dystopian space scavenger/smuggler aesthetic? What is your favorite footwear? (Sorry I know those are both weird questions, I just can't get enough of the galactic prince aesthetic you have going on)
Not weird questions at all! I’ve been obsessing over these Topstitch Chelsea boots for a while now. They would be the epilogue to my fortress-storming outfits but they’re one month’s rent and sold out.

You're like....a gothic Miss Frizzle. It's fantastic! A question: where would you suggest one look to find good witchy type boots?
Hee hee hee! That is a lovely compliment, thank you.
My favorite sturdy, have gone through conventions and concerts and hell and back boots are Oak Tree Farms “Cupola” boots.
Comfy walking heel! Sturdy! Laces can be replaced with ribbons! Can be resoled by a cobbler, which means years of wear if you look after them!
Seriously, these are my go-to boots. I love Fluevogs (OH!, how I love Fluevogs!), but in terms of day-to-day comfort and practicality, these are the boots I recommend again and again. Keep an eye on eBay, because I’ve seen brand-new ones turn up on there at a serious discount.

Early prototype seven-league boots. While the boots never progressed beyond prototype, taking far too much time and effort to create, they are undoubtedly lovely.

ASHER LEVINE | FALL/WINTER 2011
These pumps, crafted by Mexican designer Lucita Abarca, caused quite a stir at a recent Sixth Borough fashion show. These crystalline high-heels were grown by Wyrm’s Pass artisans, deep below the Rocky Mountains, using a mixture of firebird ash, waters from the springs at Paradiso, and a variety of secret ingredients, rumored to include Australian fire opals and powdered moonstone. The result of using the firebird ash become immediately recognizable when the heel of the shoe is dragged backward across any dry surface, as it creates an impressive streak of magical fire which can be accurately aimed with a little effot. Ms. Abarca said she wanted a shoe that made a statement, and that statement was “Any bastardo brujo catcalling me on La Plaza de Sangre better be ready to dose his huevos, you know?”
Wonderful original pointy boots photographed by Frank Wiersema and futured in the book Some Wear Leather, Some Wear Lace. Which of these are your favorites?
