I had a pair of boots that I thought I could give to my DD... until I realized that they were waaaay too tall for her short legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-my-future-tall-boots-be-taller-plus-wiw#post-1388129 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 21:22:37 +0000 marianna 1388129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the boots look great! That Target sweatshirt looks really nice too (looks expensive!) Is it recent? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-my-future-tall-boots-be-taller-plus-wiw#post-1388093 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 20:45:50 +0000 Janet 1388093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh good! Thanks, Angie and all for weighing in! It just occurred to me that these fit me so differently from how tall boots look on many of you. I'm glad to know I haven't been embarrassing myself over the better part of the last decade. :-)</p> <p>Suz, I hear you and sympathize. The flip side is that OTK boots really are middle of the knee boots for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-my-future-tall-boots-be-taller-plus-wiw#post-1388074 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 20:24:29 +0000 thimblelina 1388074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just thinking about this! I love my tall, tall Dorados so much they are making my black Campus look a little shortcakey. So with skirts I'm adding a black smartwool knee sock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-my-future-tall-boots-be-taller-plus-wiw#post-1388060 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 20:04:06 +0000 Suz 1388060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, here is where my jealousy rears up! Seriously....those 15" high boots that are waaaaay below your knees would be halfway over my kneecap. I need 14" or lower. Sigh.....so many gorgeous boots now with a 16" or 17" high shaft.&nbsp;</p> <p>These look great on you, and higher will also look good.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-my-future-tall-boots-be-taller-plus-wiw#post-1388031 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 19:04:17 +0000 Anonymous 1388031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the height of those looks fine and as Angie said, you could go a tad higher if you wanted. I like your outfit. The drape of your jacket and scarf colour/pattern are lovely details. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-my-future-tall-boots-be-taller-plus-wiw#post-1388028 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 19:00:58 +0000 Parsley 1388028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your boots look great, Janet!<br />Personally I've decided that I prefer slightly shorter boots (not quite all the way up to my knees). They are definitely easier to fit, too, when they aren't so high.<br />That being said, a pair of tall knee boots that fit well can look very sleek and pretty, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-my-future-tall-boots-be-taller-plus-wiw#post-1388023 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 18:56:10 +0000 jackiec 1388023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Janet! Cool boots. Interesting about shaft height b/c I haven't really paid much attention to height before. I go intuitively, but I could be off.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-my-future-tall-boots-be-taller-plus-wiw#post-1388021 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 18:54:38 +0000 Angie 1388021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These boots look TOTALLY fab. The height is gorgeous. A little taller would work too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-my-future-tall-boots-be-taller-plus-wiw#post-1387985 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 17:56:05 +0000 Janet 1387985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While getting dressed for a very casual and windy, chilly Sunday, I am considering these old boots. They are at least 7 or 8 year old Cordanis and they're very comfortable, but I'm starting to consider something more sleek and polished in the future. </p> <p>As I'm taking a critical look at these and my other tall boots (not many left since I've purged some old ones), I wonder, are these too short on my long calves? They are a 15" shaft, I've only just discovered (I had to look up the proper way of measuring shaft height!) -- I have never even thought to consider shaft height in boots before. Should I be looking at longer heights when I shop for a pair of tall boots? </p> <p>Bonus casual WIW: Mossimo/Target quilted sweatshirt, Paige jeans, Converse/Target hooded vest, Cordani boots, tree/bird scarf from local boutique. </p>
