Whitby Goth Weekend is one of our favourite events of the year as it brings in huge crowds of people from all over the country to join in with the fun and festivites. It really is something to see so many amazing Gothic and Victorian outfits and dress styles, especially at this time of year with Halloween around the corner - and as always we're there to offer great gothic footwear to go with all of the fantastic styles and Halloween costumes.

Whitby Goth Weekend has been running since 1994 and has become globally renowned as one of the most extravagant and fun events to go to. It's not just for goths either, with vendors like us catering for all kinds of alternative styles from steampunk and victorian styles of shoes and boots to biker and punk styles. We have a great time every year we are there, as do the customers who go. So come down this weekend (2nd-4th of November) and see all it has to offer.

Hello again to everybody reading and welcome back to our blog. Today I wanted to share the appreciation of one of the most popular styles we have in our range at the moment. It crosses the line between being a sexy knee boot for all occassions and a classic, stylish Victorian / Gothic style. It is a lace up knee high boot with roughly a 4 1/2" heel and a rounded toe, available in black patent, black matte and white. Here's a picture of each colour so you can have a look:

As you can see, it's no surprise these boots have been so popular with so many people, they're gorgeous styles and are suitable for most shapes as they are a relatively stretchy material and are lace up with a full tongue on the inside so you can loosen the laces plenty. As always, click the pictures above to go to the page they can be found :)

These wonderful boots are also available in knee length versions so have a look for Arena 1020

Check back tomorrow as I'll be doing a blog on what to expect when your order arrives from us! Give us a call on 01706 829955 if you need anything else

Cheers, Sam
