It is in the women's shoes section anyway.

^ I hate myself for not buying a pair last year for about 250 USD. They are a bit clownish though and I could not see myself wearing them in town. They should be fine for resorts like Aspen or St. Moritz...

Seller seems to be a bit of a flake. The current auction is a re-list of his previous auction. In that auction he listed the boots as being available in several different sizes, one of which would fit me. I asked him how one would go about bidding on or getting the other pair in my size and he never responded. I sent him a second request after three days and again he did not respond.

Now, I see he has ended that auction, relisted, and has removed the language stating he had other sizes available. I have since messaged him, again, to find out about the other sizes he had listed, if that was a mistake, or does he really have them as I would like to buy a pair if he does. His customer service seems to be to simply ignore any and all questions. So, if the current size listed is YOUR size, and you are inclined to bid, just be aware that this guy seems reluctant to answer even the simplest of questions.

That does sound rather dodgy ^^

A mystery why this happens - unless a msg is overlooked or something.

That, and I'm always leery of sellers with pictures that look so professional. If they have tons of feedback with other similar pictures, I will trust them. This guy, however, has 1 feedback and a single studio-looking picture.

these popped up on the ebay tracker. Cheaney loafers look decent and a low current bid ($19.99) with less than 2 hours to go. Looks like 11-11.5 (now sure on width) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=250735840231
