My New New Rock Boots!
W00T!
I bought them yesterday, and they are so kick ass! I took a few pics today with my mobile..
So the qaulity is not quite up to standard.
But it's better than nothing.

Oooh, my like very much. New Rocks are always very impressive and pretty.
However, I can't afford such fine things and they don't look right on me which is a bit of a shame. How much did they cost you?
Personally when it comes to footwear I am of the opinion that Doc Marten is king. I'm obsessed with the things, I should be getting my fourth pair for christmas!
Anyway this should be in the fashion thread! *Gripe gripe gripe*

New Rocks are... technically, the best "goth" boots you can buy I suppose. I wonder about them sometimes.
I got me a pair of Demonias recently. I don't plan on stomping in them though. They're just for aesthetic.

Reactor style?
Careful with those, the metal plates on heel and toe can break in two- if they don't come off soon, they get loose and make a 'tink-tink' noise when you walk. Happened to me and to my friend.
The soles are air, not solid, so if the sole break in half, and it does happen, then the boots are not good for wearing. Also, careful of the zip, the zips on those can get quick temperamental.
Speaking only from experience of myself and a few friends, of course.
I think they're meant to have a lifetime guarantee, though, so if something goes wrong see if you still have the box. Can't find mine to claim the repair costs back or get a replacement pair- the zip's gone, so I can't close the left one, and being a student I don't have money to get it fixed.

I thought the best "goth" boots must contain bats! ..and pointy ends.

I had those ones with skull and crossbones-style buckles (and no zip)
Loved em to bits- literally! All my boots die of wearing em to death.

Wow that sucks. Well I an only going to walk around with them and they were really expensive, so they shouldn't break too easily, but I still have the box so all is good, hopefully they should be fine, some of my buds have them and they haven't broken in almost a year so.

Had mine for four before they started to go.
Docs last longer, but don't come in as many prettiful styles.
