We're not kidding when we say people kill for these. They are killing, and they're doing it with money! Now you, you savvy shopper, can get your own vintage cowgirl kicks for much less than Screaming Mimi's five hundred buck price tag. Pinktags recommends using Ebay to get them for less than a hundred, sometimes way less! You can even one-up Mary-Kate Olsen and Sienna Miller with your incredible fashion sense by personalizing your pick from the array of choices. Here's a quickie guide to what's available!

Brandwise, Pinktags recommends Abilene, Justin, Laramie, Frye, and Capezio (they make Britney's favorite butterfly design) vintage boots. You'll find gorgeous inlays, superb authentic leathers, and interesting detail work on all of these boots.

Colorwise, Pinktags recommends black with colored inlays (a la Mary-Kate Olsen's fab riders), hues of denim blue (awesome with jean skirts), the shades between ivory, cream, and white (reminiscent of those performing cowgirls), and that ever-elusive neutral tan color (perfect for pulling off the cowboy look while retaining your long-stemmed sexiness, a la Sienna Miller's cowkicks).

Pricewise, we have noticed that even the most innocent looking auctions (staying at $10.00 for several days like these amazing blue beauties which eventually went for over a hundred) can grab a huge draw at the end. That said, you will also find tons of options that stay under fifty bucks and keep you stylish on the cheap. Just keep your radar up and keep checking your auctions. (Pinktags tip: Also try this search for Western boots, excluding cowboy boots. You'll get some more options!)
