Missed connection: I saw you on ASOS, and my heart fluttered...

Missed connection: I saw you on ASOS, and my heart fluttered...

KorsetBoots

...And then shattered into a million tiny pieces when you were sold out EVERYWHERE!!

Here's the back story: I saw these boots on an ASOS Curve model while browsing around for some new items. Ever since I finally got my ASOS order (review to come of my tribal dress and bangle), there hasn't really been that much that's caught my eye, but when I clicked on the ASOS CURVE Pleat Detail Shirt Dress, those boots were just - BAM - in my face, screaming to be had. I went through every single page of boots and "shoe boots" on the site (and there were about 50), and even emailed their customer service to try to find out what genius created this piece of shoe art. Yes, art. Anyway, they weren't any help really, so after a few minutes of furious web-scouring, I discovered they're the Steve Madden Women's Korset Boot. And that they're sold out. Everywhere.


Why must you tease me ASOS?! It's SO unfair!! Now I've got my heart set on these and they'll never be mine. My only possible option is to grab one of the two pairs I saw on eBay. One of which is a size 8.5, and the other a 10. Neither of which, as a 9-9.5, is my size. Just my freakin' luck, right?


Has anyone had a run in with these boots; do they run large or small?? Could I get away with sizing up or down?? This is how desperate I am for these shoes people!!!

On a happier note, please welcome the fabulous Nicolette of Nicolette Mason, as well as Abigail of Mitten Paws!

  1. Oh! I'm sorry I hate when that happens! I recently spotted an adorable sweater that I dearly wanted online, and could not find it anywhere! Why do they taunt us!
    I hope a pair of these lace-ups magically appears in your life!

  3. I was in Marshalls today and saw these in black and brown. I remember seeing this post and thought of you. Wish I had taken a pic of it. They were the Madden Girl brand, so they might have been a little bit different. They looked exactly the same to me though. In any case, they are made by the same person so the difference can't be that big. Maybe you could check your local Marshalls and see if they carry it.
