I love these:

They are the 'Secret of the Beekeeper Boots' from Clockwork Couture (http://www.clockworkcouture.com). There are two things holding me back:

a) Money: I promised myself I wouldn't spend anything outside necessities this month (insignificant detail, I assure you)

b) As someone who has never personally delved very far into the Steampunk aesthetic...this would be a giant leap off a cliff.

We'll see. :)
