I recommend them! If it is helpful -- New Rocks in a size 41 are about a United States' women's 10.

I just got a new pair of boots from them... they're calf-high, hard leather (even once I break them in, they seem like they'll still be pretty hard), squarish toe, kinda chunky (about a two inch heel), with a buckle over the top of the foot and another at the top of the boot, zip up... $106... I love them. They're made by a company called GBX.

Gothic and fetishy women's shoes, boots, clothing, and tights.Ann d'Abiose comments (07/20/00):I try to order from How Cool, about 4 times... all 4 times in vain, they were back order. Lucky me, I never placed officially any order with them, I just wrote them and ask at first before any move. They took about 2 days to answer each times, letting me know that they were out of stock, never had the stock or had not my size. When I wrote them back to know when they will have the products again... I received some *I don't know*,or *never again* and finally *we're sorry, we were unable to have this product at all* :^/
UPDATE YOUR CATALOG *G*!!!
I started to doubt that they were a real company but because of some agfers here, who made businesses with them, I stopped doubting but still... I will never, EVER place an order with them without asking for what they have in stock at first... I hear too many complaint about how they make the people waiting, waiting and waiting again and it's really not nice to charge you for all when you just receive a part of your order...
Make sure that they will not charge you for the shipping all the time... you are not suppose tol.
Diva Luxotica comments (07/27/01): I ordered something similar from How Cool in MARCH and after months of being told they were back-ordered (after they charged my credit card, mind you) [...] The bad news? When I tried to cancel my order with How Cool, they told me they couldn't credit my Visa and would have to mail me a check. Whatever!

Gothic and fetish clothing, shoes, boots, and accessories for women and men. Does mail-order and is also available in many gothic retail stores.Alchemy comments: I ordered the Victorian coat dress from Nitro. While it was rather expensive, the seams weren't altogether that strong, and it began to come apart not too long after I purchased it. The sizes are fine, I've noticed. In short, their clothes are so-so and on occasion not worth their price, IMHO.
Juliette comments: I recently purchased two dresses from the catalog (a vinyl one and a velvet one), and I'm really pleased with both of them. I would say that the sizes are pretty reliable, and unlike some other goth lines, you can actually have a chest and wear them.
Celeste comments: My Jeannie Nitro shoes came today!! They are great!! I ordered the Classified "Maria" shoes and I just love them!! They are very friendly people and kept me updated on my order. The shoes are very nice quality and only cost $25!

(yes, he is worthy of all of those exclamation points!) I got an exquisite pair of pointy (yes, pointy! he is making some pointy shoes again! this death rock hag was in 80s heaven!) shoes with curly bits on the high vamp and back, and thick, louis styled heels which were *fluted* -- they are so hard to describe (and not on the website! They are called Ultravogs and their name is Adrianna). The salesperson called them batshoes and someone else gothasfuck ;) They are like sculpture, and I'm thrilled to pieces!!!! Also, the sizes seem to run a bit generously -- I had to go half a size down.

I ordered them from Pierre Silber's website, and they were on sale for $59. They zip up the side and are only available in shiny black. They're just so kinky, I adore them. And really pretty comfy, considering.

The fabrics they use are gorgeous, and the workmanship is impeccable.

Please note: The comments listed below are approximately 12-14 years old and Underground has recently changed hands. They've been providing pretty spiffy response time for my personal inquires, so it's quite possible/probably the the comments listed below no longer apply. Please send updates if any of ya'll order from them. Thanks! -OrchidkissLux comments: Undergrounds tend to be pretty good quality, and they have a great selection.
scott comments: They're damn comfy, but after about four months of having them, the sole, along the ball of my foot on one boot, has *completely* cracked. You can see the boot liner, above the rubber layer, which by the way, is an inch thick. Grr. So, avoid London Underground unless you *need* comfort and have money to burn, would be my advice...
Angel Absinthe comments: I got a pair of Underground boots last year. I wear them all the time, and they've held up nicely. I haven't had a problem with the soles. :) So my experience with them has been good.
ratty comments: i bought 2 pairs from the main store at 22 Carnaby St. -- the first pair, the sole cracked in 2; the second pair, the leather cracked a lot just above the steel-toe cap area. this happened within months of me purchasing them.
The Dominatrix Extraordinaire comments: I got a pair a month ago, and I haven't been able to wear them more than 2-3 times a week, but they haven't given me any problems. Don't plan on walking around a whole lot on your first couple of days wearing them. As with all boots, you need to break them in. Mine are now comfortable and I really like them.

So, I give Vegetarian Shoes my tentative approval.

Alternative shoe store selling Doc Martins, Underground Shoes, etc. Major US stockist for Underground Shoes.Lord Thannis comments: I ordered a pair of boots from Vixens and Angels recently. After placing my order over the Internet, they called me to confirm my order and to tell me that they had what I wanted in stock. Five days later, I received my boots. Vixens and Angels service was hassle-free and very speedy. I highly recommend them.
The Dominatrix Extraordinaire comments: I really like my Underground boots. vixensandangels.com is where I ordered them from. They treated me very well there, so I recommend them highly.
Trystan comments: My husband ordered me some London Underground creepers from Vixens and Angels for xmas. One shoe had a nail poking into the foot area, so we exchanged them. Vixens had no problem with the exchange and got the new pair to us very fast. The new pair were great, and we were very pleased with the good customer service from Vixens.
