Reaper-30 Buckle Boot


Demonia Reaper-30

   

    One of my personal favorites of boots from gothic apparel, this one from the wonderful company of Demonia. These boots features 7 metal plate buckles, steel toed, is screwed industrial soled with a 1.5 inch sole, a zip-up side, and is a knee high boot of durable black leather. This is an extraordinary shoe that boldly states your goth and unwillingness to conform, and the fact that this boot combined with any leather jacket or trench-coat will make you look badass.
 
     Now these shoes are made of real leather, that means you will have to spend a good deal of time breaking them in. They will squeak, and they will feel like leg braces when you first wear them, but the payoff is worth it. I have plenty of reviews from people how they have had these boots for years, and they aren't event scratched and still look new. Remember, goth clothes (major brands anyways) are made to last. With proper leather/boot care, this pair of leg armor will last you for years to come.
   
    Now, they can be a little pricey ranging from about $180 in store (without tax) and up to $300 online, but the longevity and badass-ery will be well worth it.  If looking for a great addition for your goth ensemble, want new biker boots, or just need leg armor to wear to a metal concert, then get these boots!

     Pick them up on Amazon here, or if you live in Southern CA and/or are willing to make a trip, you can buy them in-store from the legendary Ipso-Facto in Fullerton, CA.
