Ultimate Rare $1,800 HERMES Silver Buckle Black Ankle Boots, Unreal Details

As much as I’m a diehard TOM FORD fan, my girlfriend and I were in NYC checking out various luxury stores. I’d read about how even in a down market, HERMES was thriving. It was a crazy hot day mixed with thunderstorms, so we were a little underdressed. We went to the HERMES store on Gansevoort and while I walked in like I owned the place, you could tell they didn’t really want to let us in. The salespeople were super snobby, again a turn off, but the goods were truly on a level I’ve rarely seen! We went through the whole store (see photos) and I couldn’t believe the level of quality and craftsmanship. You could see the level of the flawless hides, the hand of the cashmere and little details like the immaculate stitching and construction. I was sold!

HERMES have been so successful largely due to exclusivity (both by real world issues where demand exceeds their capacity to produce goods of such exceptional materials, artisans and quality, and I’m sure a bit by design). As much as I hate the attitude and gamesmanship, I have to give it to them in terms of creating coveted pieces.

I’ve since added a number of Hermes jackets and boots to my collection and even sold some of my TF to make room — they are that good! These ultra-luxe boots crafted from their elite calfskin feature their Hermes signature silver buckle to fasten – as you can see, this perfect design accent looks absolutely stunning right under your jeans and trousers and low enough to stay visible (see extensive runway photos). As you can see from all the style reference you can dress these up or down with ease. HERMES have almost always styled their runway looks with these types of boots for years and they always catch your attention – and that’s saying a lot when the rest of their designs are so impressive! Even better you can just slip these on and off with ease and don’t have to deal with the buckle each time due to the chelsea gore and design.

HERMES are legendary for their quality and attention to detail; it literally leaps out for those with a refined eye and taste (see photo references).

I’m selling this for an industry friend and would add it myself, but I have a very similar version. These include the (best I’ve ever seen) HERMES dust bags for each boot. See size/measurements below.

SIZE NOTE
These are size 43 which typically converts to 10 US, but seem to run large. I’m typically a comfortable 10.5-11 US and these fit me comfortably.

They soles measure approximately 12.25 inches long x 4.5 inches wide (please note the sole extends slightly)
