Q: Hello, I’m searching for this patent black/white tuxedo ankle boot as seen on ebay.  I’m from Germany and I can’t find them in size 38.  Can you help me?  ~ Katja

A: Hi Katja, First off, I would recommend contacting that ebay seller as it looks like they are a power seller with many, many listings, and they may have some in stock, just not listed. Without knowing the brand name of these shoes, it is difficult to find, but we found some similar alternatives (click pics below for more info). Can anyone else help Katja?

Ahhhh~good ol’ spectators! I bought these beauties off eBay and I cannot wait to wear them out. They are classic, yet sexy! These spectators are by far the cutest shoes I have seen in awhile. They are sitting in my closet right now just waiting for the perfect time to be worn, I sometimes take them out & try them on for fun…even if it is in my pajamas! ~ Shannon, MO

Anyone know the brand of this shoe?

Update: Thanks to a reader, we now know they are indeed Pleasers shoes.  They have since come out with a new, very similar style… Pleaser USA Vanity 443 - $53.95 from Zappos.com Classic meets sexy with this spectator-style mary jane.

When I brought home the new shoes I bought last week, one of my twin daughters (she is almost 13) commented that my new boots look like “stripper boots”! To which I replied, “Have you been to a strip club lately?” Um, I didn’t think so.  I intend to wear my lace-up suede boots with a long brown skirt.  But if I were on a mission to buy actual “stripper boots” to wear with just a G-string (Friday nights are amateur night at the Cockatoo Gentleman’s Club), I would buy these…
