Since everybody, myself included, loved these boots here’s another pair of Cancan boots by the same maker, Maniatis Bottier.

ETA: I found some interesting additional information about these boots. Although they originally were thought to be stage boots, the lack of wear to the soles suggests that they may have actually been made for Paris’ famed red-light district.

HOT DAMN.
