Not to take it away from the other thread but I thought I'd post this in the Vancouver forum to get some local responses.

I've been looking for a pair for a while but haven't seen any that I really like... where can I go that has a good selection...? A friend of mine says Fluevog and Browns are good places to start but where else...? I'd rather not get them online.

I really dislike shopping.. I wanna make this as easy as possible!

Sounds like a good excuse to go to Italy. Or maybe Spain.

Great footwear there.

B2 on Robson sells them.... also you might want to check out the Spank shoe store as well

If you are looking for Italian shoes, the best place to go is Commerical Drive, couple stores there, pretty expensive tho FYI

B2 are carrying (or were carrying) two styles that are smoking, two that are skanky-gross.
Gravity pope...and Spank.
But the best pair are at Holts. Super-duper sickly hot.

I know, thigh high boots are so sexy. I tried on a pair a few weeks ago and felt like I just needed a pair of them... but the ones I tried on were a latex/PVC type of material and I don't see them lasting as long as leather. I'll check into Gravity Pope, Spank and B2... they're all in the area and Spank is on Granville near the Commodore...? I want something like the ones Madonna wore in her Human Nature video...

Nicley, my best friend is trying to talk me into Italy this year... but I have plans for going elsewhere, but I want the boots for a function next month...

These aren't thigh highs but I really like these ones... it's supposed to be Madonna on Second Life. HOT! Actually, the entire outfit is HOT HOT HOT!!

Gravity Pope and Spank are both on 4th Ave. Gravity Pope is a block or so east of Vine (give or take...lol...a block or two). Spank Shoes (which is a block away from Spank Clothing) is kitty corner from Moule ( on the 2000 block of 4th). But I think B2 or David Gordon downtown would be your best bet. If you find a pair...please post them!!

Just so you know...you mentioned Browns in your first post. I was just in there two days ago, and although their pumps are to die for, I saw no thigh high boots that were noteworthy.

And these are one of the pairs in Holts right now... by Stella McCartney

I actually have a pair that I bought about 4 years ago but I can't remember the name of the store.

They are black leather suede with a thin medium heel, not too high but def not short, and at the very top there is a thin band of lace & tulle that peeks out, I've only worn them once, they are in the box at the top of my closet now.... probably a lot more fashionable now than they were then

The store was in Richmond Centre, towards The Bay end, right beside the escalator that goes up to the rooftop parking near McDonalds.

wow Leighly those Stellas are gorgeous

The foot is so perfect its ... an investment.
and you could wear them UNDER pants when the trend fades (until it comes in again) because that is the perfect boot

Jenix, I am right there with you when it comes to gravity pope. They are always just a bit off when it comes to what they bring in. It is the kits influence I think. It stops them short. That, and the HUGE bad bloody attitude they all have!

Yes Leighly! I just can't quite put my finger on it with them... it's like ok WE GET IT you guys like round toes and odd looking shapes but for the price I expect more cutting edge at least -borderline- couture-ish
