Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends has asked him the question.

Dear Manolo,

After resisting the trend for nearly a year, I feel I can no longer wait. I need, need, need a pair of thigh-high boots. The problem is, I’m a poor working girl, and my budget is limited. Can you please help?

It is true the thigh-high boots have been everywhere the Manolo has looked this past year, including on the Papa Hemingway’s great-granddaughter Dree (in the very not safe for the work, photo shoot in Purple). So, yes, the pirate strumpet look is au courant.

As usual, the Manolo would recommend saving your monies until you can afford the truly super fantastic over-the-knee boots. But given the cost of such boots, and how long the trend has been going, there is the strong risk of purchasing the boots just as they go out of style.

And, besides, the Manolo sympathizes with the poor girls, indeed, he knows what it is like to be so poor that you must fashion your own super fantastic pirate boots out of long pieces of tar paper and galvanized roofing tacks left in the dumpster behind the Piggly Wiggly when the roofers had finished.

So, allow the Manolo recommend to you these boots…

The Donnie Over-the-Knee Boot from Dolce Vita, which are selling for around $260 of the American dollars, more than $60 off of the usual price.

Trust the Manolo, unless you can find the good bargain on the quality boots, you should not be buying the thigh-high boots that cost less than this.

Such cheap boots are most often made of synthetic materials by infant labor in the foreign gulag, all things which will bring down upon you bad karma in the form of difficult to eradicate toenail fungus and potential reincarnation as Russell Brand.

Thus, cheap boots are no bargain.

Manolo says, here is the Aurele from Beverly Feldman. The kicky ballerina flat with the charming little flower details that Manolo thinks would look most excellent with the black trousers.

This is the sort of shoe the Manolo considers the “transitional shoe,” something that will take you smoothly from the late summer into the early fall in the fine style. And look! It is on the sale, reduced $70 of the American dollars from its usual price.

Manolo says, if you are looking for the bargain on the classic shoe that will quickly become the staple of your wardrobe, the Viana from Donald J. Pliner in black distressed metallic and pewter distressed metallic is on the sale, over $100 off of the regular price!

Manolo says, here is the stylish Tory Burch Blondie flat sandal, perhaps the last final gasp of gladiatorism, on the deeply discounted sale, over 50% off of the normal price.

Manolo says, these beautiful Giuseppe Zanotti sandals with the beautiful, tiny-little flowers is not only most beautiful and cheerful, but it is also on the sale, more than 50% off of the regular price.

Manolo says, it is summer and the Manolo has returned to Malibu for the season. This year, he was disappointed to learn that the Sigerson Morrison store the Manolo liked to stroll past on his way to Nobu has closed it’s doors, thus sending several tall, thin, tanned, would be models/aspiring actresses/future second wives, out into the unemployment line.

The Manolo is disappointed because he considers Sigerson Morrison to be the sort the public fashion utility, not excessively flashy, but always reliably stylish. They can be depended upon to look good when you need them.

Happily, although the Manolo’s favorite retail location has gone away, Sigerson Morrison shoes persist, and even the better, they are now on the sale!

Look here are several Sigerson Morrison shoes which are selling at more than 50% off of the usual price.

These high-heeled sandals with the clever, strappy details can be yours at the price that is reduced $525 dollars below the normal retail cost.

And now, here is the perfect opportunity for the Manolo’s internet friends who love the muy comfortable shoes of the Taryn Rose to purchase them at the discount.

Manolo says, the Manolo’s friends at Zappos are offering several end-of-the-season bargains on the super fantastic Sigerson Morrison shoes.

For the example, these knotted high heel sandals from Sigerson Morrison are over 50% off of the regular price, the true bargain!

And these silvery thong Sigerson Morrison sandals are selling at the discount, over $170 of the American dollars off of the usual price!

And now you must hurry! Before these bargains are disappeared!

Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends has asked the Manolo the question.

I will be in Madrid and Barcelona in February and wonder if you or Patricia could give some suggestions for shoe shopping in those cities. I love Spanish shoes! Any other recommendations (for clothes, jhewelry, great restaurants) would be appreciated as well. I know you’re not a travel blog but any direction you could give a shoe and fashion lover would be great! Thanks!

Nearly three and the half years ago, the Manolo answered the same question, and the advice he gave at that time, to go shoe shopping on the Calle Augusto Figeroa near the Plaza Chueca, is still perfectly cromulent. And, likewise, the Manolo continues to recommend the Bodega Angel Sierra for the vermouth, Bocaito for the tapas, and Cafe Bardemcilla (whose owner has only gotten more famous in America) for the celebrity spotting.

By the way, when the Manolo lived in Madrid, lo these many years ago, he lived exactly one half the block from the corner of Augusto Figeroa and Libertad, in the very heart of the shoe shopping district, which is one of many reasons why he can make these recommendations with complete assurance.

And now, because the shoppingistas have embraced the ever-improving interweb technology for videos, there are even videos discussing shoe shopping in Chueca!

Truly we live in the age of vicarious wonders!

Manolo says, the Manolo is enjoying the languorous pace of this week between Christmas and the New Years. Please forgive.

In the meantime, here is some beautiful feetwear from Sigerson Morrison that are discounted for your post Christmas festival of regretful semi-frugality.

This fetching ankle bootie, the 9630 from Sigerson Morrison is discounted nearly 30%, the savings of over $225 of the American dollars.

This stylish classic pump, the 9633 from Sigerson Morrison, would be the excellent addition to your everyday wardrobe, and it is on the sale, also almost 30% off the usual price.
