Utopia Design - Virgo

Deirdre:
If Utopia Design’s Virgo knee-high boots went under your radar, you’re not alone. We saw them recently at her store, and lelo liked them a lot so we suggested we could feature them.

When lelo asked Elisabetta how we had missed them, she explained that she had released them in a very busy period (October last year) and hadn’t notified any bloggers or done much advertising.

So, sometimes they’re not hot off the press - I hope you’ll still enjoy this.

Virgo are what I’d call a sixties-style platform, although heels were a bit chunkier then.

The texture is very good, and really has to be seen up close to be appreciated. The clever “clips” in front are just the kind of detail high fashion designers love to throw in on a plain seam.

A short fold-down cuff with points at the rear gives a bit of a pirate look to the boot.

The included hud is very easy to understand, showing visually what part of the boot is affected by clicking the buttons without using any text.

A nice retro boot that will complement a number of fetish or fashion outfits!

lelo:
Boots tonight, courtesy of Elisabetta at Utopia Design, presenting the Virgo Multi-texture boots.

The boots have a good 1960’s fetish look to them, high platform and heels that are in good balance with the rest of the boot, pulling them into the current century.

As with other boots we have shown you by Elisabetta, you get an easy multi paged HUD to adjust the textures on your boots.

There are 6 presets or you can change the 7 separate parts of the boots giving them your own custom look.

The third page of the HUD lets you resize them, adjust the sound level and pose yourself for the fitting.

We had to just push the boots up a bit as they were riding a bit low, but the rest of the fit was perfect, just make sure you make a copy before you start tinkering with them.

So great looking fetish boots that are borderline fashionable, so you won’t look out of place in a vanilla sim, but you can still enjoy your fetish.

Utopia@Design - Sagitta Domina

Deirdre:

Another Hikari post tonight, and I’m actually thinking of making her name a label - I’m sure we have fetish furries falling in love with our adorable little friend by now :)

She was wandering, as she usually does, inspecting fetish stores and sending me landmarks, when she mentioned she really loved the new Sagitta boots at Utopia.

Well, Hikari picked them up, and nicely agreed to model them for us. Since she loved the red, she chose a Plausible Body “Red Cell” catsuit to match, and presto - sexy fetish furry look :)

The Sagitta boots, then, have a classy part-metal stiletto heel I remember seeing in the eighties, and a really good shape.

They also have the most stunning leather texture I’ve seen on SL boots in quite a long time. Between amazing reflections and colors, these boots are nearly photo-realistic.

The Sagitta boots come in three versions, named Domina, Lotus, and Oxian. The base color and the second color are quite different for each model, so getting them all is not a crazy option if your budget allows it.

Do visit Utopia Design and see the beautiful (and huge!) vendor pics and large-scale models of the boots - you can even fiddle with the HUDs and see the effects on the models.

lelo:
Till now Elisabetta made boots that were right up my alley taste wise, rounded nose and platforms, yes i’m not just a ballet boot fanatic. *winks*

But the Sagitta is the kind of boots Mistress loves, spiked heels and pointy toes, and a good leather texture of course.

The boots come with a HUD that lets you personalize the boots to your own taste, first you get 6 presets with some great color combinations.

Next you get the possibility to change the leather, laces, studs, heels and sole textures to make your own combination.

The HUD also lets you adjust the size and sound of the boots and she must have spent hours texturing that HUD as it’s almost as good looking as the boots, well almost. *smiles*

There are 3 color versions for the Sagitta boots but the Domina is the one which is the most fetishy, still check out the others they also are very yummy.

Domina’s Duo - Elegance Evolution and Utopia Design - Sirius

Deirdre:

We featured Elegance recently, and it’s worth sharing the new Evolution boot with you to show the nice improvement to the shape and texture of the boot.

The ankle folds are in the sculpt and they match the shine to perfection.

I still love the excellent heel and pointy toe, and the folds really add to the boots.

I confirmed with Gina, and the original Elegance line does not have the folds in mesh, only in texture.

This is a more fetishy boot than Bax’s Prestige, to my eye. Latex lovers take note :)

Some lovely new boots from Elisabetta at Utopia@Design, she’s slowly moving away from fetish and moving into fashion.

The Sirius have a good shape, all mesh, i just love her eye for detail, just have a look at the zipper and the stitching.

But shape is just half the story here, the quality of texture she used for these boots is amazing, it has a great leather feel, which you can almost smell.

And then there is the included HUD, which has 3 tabs, first are the presets, giving you 14 gorgeous leather options.

The second, textures, lets you color all the separate parts to your own taste.

The last called options, gives you the fitting pose, the resize and sound options, a very nice easy to use clean HUD.

So looking for a pair of fashionable fetishy boots that will fit most of your outfits? Look no more here they are. *winks*

Utopia Design - Chameleon Boots

Deirdre
We spotted these cool platform boots recently at Venustus, and they brought us back to Utopia, which we hadn’t visited in too long. I love when things work out that way.

So this is Chameleon, by Utopia Design, a calf-length boot - not that common in our experience in SL.

It comes in a variety of good colors, but I stayed with the red on these pictures because it’s quite striking.

Great folds and reflections, brilliant colors and terrific laces, visible from a good distance.

V2 alpha socks are included, but invisiprims too, for us old folks ;)

The color adjust HUD is extremely smart, so I’ll give you the Marketplace link so you can see it before you buy.

lelo
Ok these should keep you happy for months if not years, Elisabetta has taken the next step in color adjustment on footwear.

The boots come with a HUD that lets you adjust the 7 parts of the boot: shaft, upper, tongue, platform and heel, laces, eyelets and sole.

For most you get the choice of black, brown, gray, white, red (shown here), blue. purple and pink. Only the heels and platform have a very special extra option, stripper transparent. *smiles*

In the middle of the HUD, you see how your boot will look, though that is hardly necessary as the color change happens very fast on these.

The HUD also offers you 8 presets for the most common options, your sound control and resizer, which is one of the quickest working ones if seen yet.

As the boots are copy you can adjust them to fit your favorite outfit and add them to your outfit folder for ease of use.

These boots, especially with the transparent platform are a must for every self respecting stripper in SL.

Utopia Design - Pearl Black

Deirdre:
Now and then I take a little note, promise myself I’ll go have a look at the store, and totally forget what I saw.

The result is often surprising... I have no idea what I coming here for, but I found these cool platform boots in a tiny little boot store lost in the middle of a pastoral setting.

The Pearl Black platform boots, by Utopia@Design, are what you see little gothettes wear with long pvc coats, striped red and black stockings and too much makeup. Well, the brave ones - those heels are wicked.

This is a boot with a very good shape : great attention to detail in the prims, great textures on the platform sole and heel, oddly, but a little plain on the boot shaft. Good highlights on the calf, could just use a few more of those here and there.

Here’s the XStreet link to the boots :

The third pair of boots this week, a nice pair of platforms by Elisabetta Hyun from Utopia@Design.

You can see that she used real boots as a reference when she made these, especially the heels and the rounded bit at the front of the platform really make these boots work.

She must have spent hours on making the laces on these boots and it shows.

With the boots you get a nice looking hud to control the sounds of the boots, a fun way to do it, but be careful that it doesn’t take the place of something already there.

In my case i was wondering why my radar stopped working, hey i’m blonde... *smiles*

The boots themselves have a resizing script, which i didn’t have to use, woohoo tailor made boots!! *winks*
