Boots, Boots, Boots, Boots…

[Holly Marie]

… not marching up and down again!  I love boots – whether they cover just my ankles, or whether they go up my calves, come up to my knees or head up my thighs… yes, I own all of them!  I’ve noticed, however, that a very few of the ladies out there seem to be less than enthusastic about having “the top of the foot covered”.  I know that every lady has her own opinion about footwear; could we come to some sort of agreement on where we stand though?  Holly XXX

Holly what can I say but yes to all boots. I’ll only buy them at secondhand or discount because of cost, but I have a pair of black patent leather with a silver tip that come to my knees and I wear them with white leggings. Love the look and feel and have no trouble wearing them  because I’m stable with the extra support a boot gives you. Haven’t found a pair of thigh highs, don’t know how an older girl like me would look in them?

Love Boots

Sherri; don’t know how old you are – and I would NEVER ask a lady how old she is!  I’m not exactly a spring chicken myself, but I’d say that I never would feel I’m too old for thigh boots:  why should you look anything less than stunning in them?  Love you:  Holly XXX

This discussion has me thinking about boots again. I don’t own any but have looked in the past and got stuck. I have long legs and need a 38″ inseam in pants. I’m pretty sure a over the knee pair wouldn’t work so I have ruled them out (sad). Something below the knee might work but they probably won’t fit my legs as designed and I am worried I wouldn’t be able to zip or lace them up. Am I over thinking this? Shopping in person isn’t an option because stores don’t usually carry my size.

Hiya, Michelle; I think you may be overthinking this a little – but on the other hand 38″ inseam?  I can see that you may be just a little unique…  Unfortunately, I think there is only one thing to do – as they used to say “Suck it and see!”  Take the plunge and try a pair; you never know, you may find they are what you’ve been missing all your life!  Holly XXX

Hi Holly, I bought a pair of full length leggings for Christmas that look more like capris on me. I think you are probably right. I hate returning stuff but it’s going to take some trial and error, like everything else.

I have nothing against boots.  I’d wear boots with the right outfit and in the right season.  However, with limited financial resources, I have to prioritize my purchases.  There are many more pumps and sandals that I want and need first.

Hi girls,

I’ve got five pairs of ankle booties! Do you think maybe I have a thing for ankle boots, just maybe?

Hugs,

How can you go wrong with boots???

For me I prefer below the knee or booties with a 2 1/2 to 4″ heel. Damp weather is awesome for booties and I can sack the toenail polish. There are so many cute booties it’s hard to pick. I even have a pair of Sorel Joan of Arctic boots I wore the other day with snow and ice all over the place.

I like the look of above the knee but I have easily past that age demographic.

Sorel boots are sooo cute!  I thought I was the only one who liked them!

They have a special style and in the right place look fantastic! I have been looking at some of the bootie styles now out but need to find at a better price then new store costs. I will wait until summer and early fall to seek out a deal on them

How can you go wrong with boots?  Well, you could… errrmmm… or maybe…  No – you’re right; you CAN’T go wrong!  I know every girl has her own preference (and I often wonder if my own choice is anything other than “Whatever that cute redhead walking down the High Street this afternoon was wearing”) but I must admit to getting a particular thrill out of thigh boots; they just seem so wantonly feminine!  And I’m hoping that I never reach an age demographic where I feel that I’m past them… though if I want to be honest, I can appreciate that I prbably should already be there!  Love you:  Holly XXX

Women’s boots radiate femininity so I can’t fault you for the love of thigh highs!

Boots, especially knee boots, are such a great look and they keep my feet warm on chilly days.  Boots and gloves too for the win in the winter

Ankle Boots! Black, brown, tan, creme…any color to make my outfit look mean! They’re like heels on steroids…still have the heel appeal but stabilizes ankles for us clumsy walkers (like me). Can not say enough, every girl should have at least one pair in their closet.

I just have one pair of ankle boots. I do not have a very large femme wardrobe, so will not likely have any other boots.

I love them all.  Ankle boots. Knee length.  Slouch boots.  I kind of ran out of room and need to organize my closet.      Heels are awesome too.  Beats the few drab boring pair of sneakers I have.

I have a pair of black ankle boots that I like but my favorite is a black leather slouch boot that reaches to below my knee. The boots have 3 in. block heels which are hard so they make that lovely clicking sound as you walk along.

Hi Holly, thanks for the post. As far as boots go I have booties, below the knee boots and over the knee boots and I love them all. But, having said that, I also love heels and I think the main reason is I love having my toe nail polish exposed for all to see.

Trish.

Sign me up – I am a bonafide boot lover. Most of mine are Nine West. I have several from Torrid and Lane Bryant. Also, I have a couple of pairs of Pleasers.

But regular heels are not far behind!

Hey Holly,  My boot pile includes Steve Madden Equestrian, Harley, Frye, and Ferragamo Riding, Via Spaga Knee-highs and Bronx Zen and Now hip high lace-ups.  All are leather and black.  Some are flats and some are heels and I wear them all depending upon my outfit.  I even have 1970 combat boots that I will wear during my grunge times. Thanks for this fun survey and Happy New Year.   Marg
