These boots were(n't) made for walking

I went to see Watchmen tonight, and immediately upon seeing Silk Specter's costume, decided that was what I needed to be for next Halloween. So tonight when I came downstairs to "go to bed" I started looking for latex/pvc thigh highs instead of sleeping. Actually, they're something I've been on the lookout for ever since I saw them in an Agent Provocateur campaign a few months ago, but I can't seem to find them anywhere. The closest I came was stretch patent boot covers, but that just won't do! Anyhow, I got waylaid by the amazing and extensive selections of stripper shoes I found along the way.


Is it terrible how badly I want these boots? Red thigh high mid-heel boots are the things of my dreams. Seriously, I'm not joking! Even with shipping and exchange, these come up just under $100, not bad for leather boots! I'm not exactly sure what I'd wear these with yet, but I'd figure something out. Probably just hot pants and a crop top (kidding). A dress or a skirt I think. Maybe even jeans! They're just too wicked for  words.
I also find myself strangely drawn to these shoes. Who cares that if I wore these I'd be 6'6" and probably have to duck through door frames? Not me!

Interesting to note: Apparently stripper shoes are really comfortable and sturdy. I would never have thought this, but it makes sense, they are designed for dancing and/or being worn by men.

UPDATE: Further research has revealed that I was using the wrong search field in google. i was saying "pvc thigh highs" or "pvc thigh high stockings" when I should have just been putting "pvc stockings", thus avoiding all the boot results. I've found quite a few now, but these are my favorites by far, though they are a little more expensive than some of the other ones I've found, they seem like they're better quality. I'm also being drawn in to the idea of a pvc pencil skirt, and at the moment actually believing that I would wear one, when in reality that would never happen.
