Anne Rice said it best in The Vampire Chronicles, seductive yet deadly vampire queen Akasha was "almost too pretty to be beautiful". With our vision of designing a boot that embodies both darkness and beauty, Akasha is one of our limited collection of thigh boots made for those who want to cause attention yet warn against proximity. After two years of testing and countless attempts at a curved yet strong heel, we have perfected our signature skeleton heel with a reptilian skull platform to match it. Comes with blood red inner lining and a soft moist absorbent layer. Wearers will be pleased with the detailed yet intricate Victorian damask design sewed onto the midsection of the boot, with a center stone skull emblem, an icon of the living statue Akasha had eventually become.

US women's sizes 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
