Rep Power: 8 Rob I'm new here but I'm working on it
Default Mens heels! UK Size 7/8. Brand New bargin.

After my involvement in this thread I decided to order a couple of Giorgio Brutini's mens boots from the States. After paying shipping and import duty + vat, they ended up costing me £90 each. But I've found I need the next size up.

I can return them for a refund (not including shipping), but have worked out that after deducting the cost of posting them back to the US, I'll only end up with £25-£30 back for each pair.

So I thought I would put them up here to see if their are any takers. If not, I'll send them back. So if your in the UK, it's your chance to get a bargain for less than a third of what it would cost you to order them yourself from the US, with none of the hassle.

So I'm offering:

1) Mens Giorgio Brutini's black snake skin 15897 boot:

They are a size 8 medium width, but feel tight for a UK size 8. I feel they would fit someone with a UK size 7 or 7.5 foot, or a narrow size 8. (Or you may be prepaired to stretch them - I'm not.)

They arrived on Friday, and I've only tried on one of the shoes on one foot for a few seconds on carpet. They are in the original box with the original packaging, and cardboard inserts inside to keep them in shape.

The heel measures 2.5 inches high and they have real leather soles.

As a mens shoe, even the shyest of guys here can wear them anywhere. As I mentioned in this thread I've had nothing but complements from women and guys on some similar boots I wear.

I'm looking for £30 plus postage for these. I may even be able to deliver (ie no postage cost) within London and the South East.


2) Mens Giorgio Brutini's black calf skin 2019 boot:

They are a size 8 medium width, but feel tight for a UK size 8 - slightly tighter than the snake skin boots above. I feel they would fit someone with a UK size 7 foot, or a narrow size 8. (Or you may be prepared to stretch them.)

Again, I've only tried on one of the shoes on one foot for a few seconds on carpet. They are in the original box with the original packaging, and cardboard inserts inside to keep them in shape.

The heel measures 2.0 inches high and they have real leather soles.

Again these are a mens shoe, that even the shyest of guys can wear anywhere. With the plain leather and slightly lower heel (but high enough to feel) I think that these are actually an even better looking boot than the snake skin boots above. Very cool and very 'now'.

When I get the next size up I'm going to wear them as my regular work shoe with a suit.

I'm looking for £25 plus postage for these. I may even be able to deliver (ie no postage cost) within London and the South East.


If you want both pairs I'll accept £50 total.

I need to sell both pairs. If I've not had any takers within the next week or so, I'll just send them back for a refund, so you need to be quick. (I may try ebay in a few days if there is no interest here.)

Both the above shoes are ideal starter shoes for anyone that dreams of wearing heels out. Or even for the non heel wearing guys here who just want to look sharp and stylish.

Again I'll point out that these are quality shoes with leather soles, brand new for a fraction of what they cost get in the UK.

Feel free to ask any questions, or PM if you want to buy them.
