650.0. "Info needed on where to buy leather boots" by CSMSRE::WRIGHT (I like cats - dead ones) Mon Jan 11 1988 12:58

    
    I do not know how pertinent this is to Womannotes, but I am entering
    it here and in Mennotes in hope of a lead.
    
    My girlfriend recently saw a pair of boots that she would like -
    
    Black leather, mid-thigh high, 4" or so spike on the heal, etc...
    (also known as "whip me/hurt me boots")
    
    None of the shoe stores here in Framingham (ma) carry these, nor
    does fredricks (we've looked).  So before I start looking in Boston
    I thought I would see if anyone on the net knew where these boots
    could be bought.  Even if it is as far away as NY city.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Clark.
    
    BTW - I do know of one shop, but it is down in Baltimore and it
    will be a while before I am back in that area.
    
    Thanks again.

650.1not leather, but vinyl cire'... butLEZAH::BOBBITTSilicon ~ GraffitiMon Jan 11 1988 13:289
    Generally, the store doesn't carry all the catalog items...
    in Frederick's most recent catalog (sale), they list something
    answering your description, called "Bed Boots"...they're around
    $35 or something, but they're not for outside wear...
    
    If you want more info I'm at LEZAH::BOBBITT
    and can bring in the catalog tomorrow.

650.2These ARE for outside wear and .....CSMSRE::WRIGHTI like cats - dead onesMon Jan 11 1988 13:358
    
    Thanks Jody,
      
    But I was specificly told Leather...not vinyl, Leather...
    
    Which is why Fredricks was a bust.

650.3mmm hmmmLEZAH::BOBBITTSilicon ~ GraffitiMon Jan 11 1988 16:0510
    I have Never seen boots like that made of leather...
    
    but perhaps some leather place that makes shoes and boots will
    customize a pair (could get expensive...but if it's that important,
    love will find a way, eh?)
    
    good luck

650.6some general ideasMEWVAX::AUGUSTINEMon Jan 11 1988 17:067
    i ask people who wear similar or far-out or interesting clothes. when i
    go into a store and can't find what i want, i ask salespeople to give
    me a few leads. also, isn't there a conference now for catalogs? that
    might help too.

650.7How to get catalogsCSC32::M_BAKERMon Jan 11 1988 18:106
    The conference for catalogs is BARNUM::CATALOGS.  Good places to look
    for clothes catalogs are Vogue and Cosmopolitan magazines.  They have
    ads for catalogs you can order.  Also check out Walden bookstores.
    They have started selling catalogs alongside magazines.

650.8Taurus Leather-Maynard?SONATA::HICKOXStow ViceMon Jan 11 1988 19:499
    
      You might try calling the Taurus Leather Shop in Maynard, I'm
    not sure if they would carry this item, but being involved in
    the leather trade, they might possibly point you in the
    right direction.
    
                         Happy New Year,
                                               Mark
    
650.9Will get back to you asapFSLENG::HEFFERNTue Jan 12 1988 06:0611
    I just had a friend buy exactly what you are talking about. 
    She got them right before Christmas.  Unfortunately she
    moved to Tennessee.  Will get in touch with her and let you 
    know where she bought them.
    
    She also got little spurs put on them, interested? ;-)
