I feel like a villain in a superhero movie!, May 16, 2008
As a child of the 70's, I spent many hours pouring over album covers -- one of my favorites was Kiss's "Destroyer", with all four of them in full, goth-glam regalia, including the most amazing platform boots. Especially Gene Simmons... his boots were dragons! Oooooh....
Dang, I wanted those boots.
Fast forward thirty years and as I was browsing shoes online recently, I somehow stumbled upon this boot and suddenly I was 9 again. Except this time, I had a credit card. I didn't care what my mom would say, or where I'd wear them -- I bought the boots. They arrived yesterday, about a week after I ordered them.
They're fierce! Warning, though, they seem to be cut a bit narrow. My legs are not chunky at all and these boots are SNUG to zip up my calves. I wouldn't trust this material to stretch, either, it doesn't seem to have much give.
Love 'em, though. They've got a real "fetish" look to 'em but they're steady & comfortable to walk in. I can't see wearing them under long jeans, though... the heel is still pretty "out there" for mainstream outfits, I think; then again, I'm probably just too "ivory girl" to pull them off without looking costume-y.
Felt a little silly, actually, buying these boots just "to have" because of some goofy pre-pubescent daydream... But clomping around the house is fun in 'em, especially when I have an appreciative audience.
Maybe they'll make it outside, yet. Just saw a flyer for a local cinema that's playing Rocky Horror at midnight every weekend, all Summer. I think the Universe is trying to tell me something...
These boots are even cooler in person. If you've ever wanted to feel ten feet tall and hot as hell, these'll get ya there. Promise.

love the boots, November 16, 2011
This review is from: Demonia by Pleaser Women's Gothika-200 Platform Boot (Apparel)
love the style and comfort of these boots but, unfortunately it did not fit around the calf area due to having big calf. I contacted customer service and let them know the issue that i was having and they did not give me any problem refunded me back the money.

no arch support for me, October 18, 2011
This review is from: Demonia by Pleaser Women's Gothika-200 Platform Boot (Apparel)
I was looking for a pair of boots that I could rely upon for concerts and festivals... something sturdy that could handle grassy terrain and hours upon hours of supporting my feet. They got good reviews so I decided to try them. The correct size was delivered, but to my disappointment, the arches were not even close to up to snuff. It's not like they were there but needed reinforcing- I'm no stranger to insoles. But these boots did not even make the slightest contact with my arches. I knew this would be a recipe for pain so I returned them.
