I swear by all things holy, good and fabulous, the best boots are released by tiny, relatively unknown designers in the dead of the night. Last week we had Biddle Boots, and this week we have EvA Footware. Last night, while I was indulging my OCD and sorting my inventory (again), a notice popped through from FashCon. Just like last time, I wasn’t expecting much, but I’ve learnt to trust my instincts and my instincts said ‘one little peek…’
I’ll tell you what, boy am I glad I trusted my gut on this one, because these boots are gorgeous. Though they weigh in at almost a thousand L for the pair, the money buys you not one pair of boots but over a dozen. The books come with five colour change options per pack (and there’s three different packs) for the main body of the boot, seven options for the sole, and a whole BUNCH of options for the sole trim. Plus, on top of the usual sexywalk, bling, and heelclick options that nobody in their right mind actually uses, the boots include five AO poses. I mean, they’re not GOOD AO poses, but who cares because you can turn them off and still have gorgeous sculpted boots. And there’s one huge selling point left to mention.
The boots are flawless from top to bottom. That’s right, there’s no ugly join at the ankle. In fact, there’s only one visible attachment per leg, on your calf. The foot attachment is ONLY an invisible prim to hide your foot. When I saw it mentioned in the advertising notecard, my first thought was, “That can’t possibly work! It’s so brilliantly simple, that if it could, surely someone would have done it before!”
Cleverly, Van Stantz (EvA Footware) included demo boots in the notecard, so I could indulge my curiousity without leaving my skybox. I sat there for about ten minutes, staring intently at my feet as my AO cycled, waiting for them to break. My AO, you see, is the inevitable breaker of boots and bane of bootmakers everywhere. Damen (of Adam n Eve) has told me so enough times! But… no! Sitting, standing, walking on my hands, the damn boots resisted every attempt to break them! I know, as impossible as it seems, I finally… finally found boots invulnerable to my AO of Mighty Bootbreaking +5!
And they are beautiful for it. Eight lovingly crafted sculpted prims per boot, flawless at the ankle like no other boots I’ve found. There’s gotta be a down side, right? Well, there is. The invisible prim on your foot is pretty sizeable, which means some manipulation for photos at some angles, but it’s not a major problem and easily fixed. For how flawless these boots look in day-to-day wear, it’s a small price to pay. They’re well worth it.
Plus, there’s a free pair for Halloween! SEXEH!
All five main boot colour options on the Black pack. Sole and sole trim are set to black on all five shots.

Now, where was that teaser I promised? Oh, that’s right… The teaser for the new Scarlia Dual-Tone eyes, coming very, very soon. Watch this space. ;D
