Found! Heidi Klum in Isabel Marant Dampa Grey Canvas Boots

Wow, these ones were extremely hard to find! I scoured the internet, googled all sorts of search terms and spent hours trying to ID Heidi Klum’s boots in these pictures when it finally dawned on me: I’ve seen those cone heels before.

First, take a look at the Heidi Klum candid pictures that started this whole search:

July 30, 2010 – Heidi Klum and the kids catch a flight to France from the JFK airport in New York

Very beautiful boots on the very beautiful Heidi, but what really stood out for me were those semi-wedge, cone-shaped heels. Wouldn’t have seen them if it weren’t for the side view shots, so thank god for the paps and their shameless ways.

I knew I had laid eyes on a pair of shoes with those same cone heels before and my hunch led me to the cone-heeled Rosegold Black Suede Halle Studded Cuff Booties which I featured early this year in a 2010 fashion trends in boots post. I know perfectly well that those Rosegold booties are knockoffs of the Isabel Marant Otway Studded Ankle Boots, so given that this is Heidi Klum we’re talking about – a very successful celebrity who probably wouldn’t wear knockoffs because she can afford the real things – I narrowed down my search to the original and way more expensive brand, Isabel Marant.

I was in the right direction. Check out this picture of boots that’s among the top three results when you google “Isabel Marant gray boots”:

Same reverse cone heel, same slouchy style, same shape and silhouette, and the best clue of all, same grey color in the same canvas material.

I searched the rest of the shoes from the same collection (Isabel Marant Spring-Summer 2010) and I HAD it. Heidi Klum’s boots are the highly coveted, wait-listed, sold out everywhere Isabel Marant Dampa Boots:

Isabel Marant is a notoriously very exclusive brand and though that makes it very hard for us to get a hold of ‘em, that’s exactly what makes Isabel Marant so cool.

There are a few places online where you can find the Isabel Marant Dampa Boots. One of them is of course, eBay. Sizes are very limited but starting bid prices are comparatively low ($800-$900 listing compared to the original retail price of $1,400). The San Francisco store Metier also carries Isabel Marant items and if they keep their blog updated, it looks like they still have one pair of the Isabel Marant Dampa Boots left.

The handful of online boutiques that Isabel Marant has allowed to carry their items include Net-A-Porter.com and MyTheresa.com. Though they don’t have the boots, check back from time to time to see if they have new items from the latest Fall-Winter 2010-2011 collection.
