I bought the tan boots at a ridiculously cheap price...$65...before an unexpected price hike, and am I glad I did.  These boots are so beautiful, so unique, and so comfortable, that I'm grateful I grabbed them when the price was lower. I will not pay $200 for them, though, no matter how much I love them.  I'll either wait until the price goes down again or will go without.  I adore them!
