I will say yay ...i really like unique things with will make u stand out!!! It is not dated because u don't see them arround very often ...think is as a unique item

Hmm so the flash is making them gray then? Maybe try a thicker black lace?

I like the boots! I second the idea of thicker laces, I think it would make them even more unique. Very Mod.

Vintage is something that's actually old. Retro is somthing that's new but meant to look old. Neither of these terms address whether something is cool, dated, etc.

I think these vintage boots look great. I've heard of "dead stock" before. I'd like to run into "dead stock" Coach bags!
