Arrr, me hearties, it's Talk Like a Pirate Day! Here be Vivienne Westwood pirate boots !

Arrr! It may be Talk Like a Pirate Day for the rest of the world, but here at Shoewawa we're declaring it Walk Like a Pirate Day, and celebrating in the only way we know how - with pirate boots, of course!

Of course, of all the pirate boots we've known and (sometimes) loved, Vivienne Westwood's are perhaps the most famous of all. Out of production until Kate Moss found a 20-year-old pair in London vintage boutique, Rellik, the designer was forced to start making them again when Kate's pair re-started the trend. Where Kate Moss leads, Sienna Miller follows (and the rest of the world comes tumbling after) so, unsurprisingly, the flat, strappy style has become something of a classic. The boots are still in production, and you can buy them new for £295. Or, of course, there's always eBay: this pair is a UK size 4, and is currently at £82.
