You looked good then too, but super great today:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1191197 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 01:32:30 +0000 sarah 1191197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, FWIW, I agree with your decision - they look like too tall knee-high boots to me, rather than OTK boots. And besides, now's the season to be thinking about slip-on sneakers and loafers and moccasins! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1190783 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 19:36:28 +0000 kellygirl 1190783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, after some consideration, I''ve decided to return. Opinions are divided but I think that just knowing that half of you consider them ill fitting will make me self conscious in real life. Knowing how my mind operates, I will worry that half the people I see on a daily basis will think my boots are too tall. Of course, I doubt most of the people I see would even notice or care but still, it would bother me. Thank you all so much for sharing your opinions on these. I'm content having tried them! I highly recommend for anyone over 5'3" because they are super comfy and seem to be well made! Great price now too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1190667 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 18:01:52 +0000 catgirl 1190667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, you don't look imbalanced (unbalanced just seems like the wrong word in any context!), at least to my eye.&nbsp; It's more the gap at the top - I feel like it almost needs to be even more sleek.&nbsp; But I am far from an OTK expert!&nbsp; In fact I am off to google some images. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1190607 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 17:08:04 +0000 kellygirl 1190607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the bumps!&nbsp;<br />@Susie: That's what I think too.<br />@Una: I wonder if they are too sleek and I need the volume to balance me out. I'm curious about the height though--as I recall, the tops of my knees showed in the Fryes too and those got a thumbs up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1190585 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:47:19 +0000 catgirl 1190585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure... Something about the look with pants doesn't seem quite right but I can't figure it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1190583 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:45:31 +0000 Susie 1190583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will comment to give you a bump too! I like this pair better than the other one pictured as they appear to have a sleeker fit with less bunching around the ankle. I will defer to Angie on the height. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1190578 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:39:16 +0000 Marmee 1190578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping for you again... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1190433 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:26:52 +0000 kellygirl 1190433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm bumping for Angie. I will defer to her opinion:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1189401 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 06:48:26 +0000 kellygirl 1189401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Denise! I hope Angie chimes in. What I like about these versus the Fryes (besides the price) is that they aren't as heavy. One of the things about the Fryes were that they were so bulky. I think these are more streamlined but again, not sure about the height. Thanks for weighing in!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1189400 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 06:38:45 +0000 CocoLion 1189400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they work well with a skirt or dress, where you can actually see your knee so the boots look right. &nbsp;With the jeans on underneath, it's harder to make out are these OTK or just too tall on you? &nbsp;Which might take away intention which is always a key element to fashion.</p> <p>They do look like great boots though. &nbsp;It could also be that we're not used to this kind of boot. &nbsp;It's a kind of boot that, as Angie described, is just at the knee cap. &nbsp;If we were to see more people wearing this height it might start to look right to us.</p> <p>I wonder if Angie has an opinion on this -- specifically where are tall boots going next season. &nbsp;She looked at all of the runway shows and might have an opinion. &nbsp;The one thing I did notice is that tall boots were being worn more with bare legs and short skirts or shorts rather than over pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1189337 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 04:40:04 +0000 kellygirl 1189337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the opinions. We&nbsp;are a little divided :)&nbsp;I really like them. &nbsp;They are&nbsp;extremely comfortable but I had doubts about the shaft height too.&nbsp; Angie described them in her NAS post as "just over the knee"--so I'm thinking these are probably just too tall for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>If anyone else wants to chime in, feel free. I won't have time to pop these back in the mail until next week.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1189262 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 03:00:16 +0000 Echo 1189262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that they need to be taller. They look like an awkward height - too tall to be knee boots, and too short to be OTK boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1189252 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 02:53:37 +0000 Gigi 1189252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought was "Are these really over-the-knee?" I do think they need to be taller. Sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1189218 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 02:25:25 +0000 Sarah A 1189218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look ok with the pants, but a bit awkward with the skirt/dress since you can see the top of your knees still. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1189213 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 02:23:27 +0000 annagybe 1189213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah I'm not sure they look tall enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1189150 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 01:14:14 +0000 Lisa 1189150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look like they end at the narrowest part of your leg, that is difficult to find in a tall boot, I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1189141 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 01:06:58 +0000 Diana 1189141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Marmee. I feel like they need to be taller, since I think I can see the top of your kneecap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1189106 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 00:27:49 +0000 Marmee 1189106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look totally cute in your outfits, but&nbsp;I'm not totally sure about the boot height…do they cover your knee completely? &nbsp;I did a quick pinterest search, and most of the boots were taller. &nbsp;However, two of the boots in this post <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/09/02/over-the-knee-boots-yay-or-still-nay/">http://youlookfab.com/2010/09/.....still-nay/</a>&nbsp;look to be about the height of yours. &nbsp;I'm no expert though, so I'm interested to know what others have to say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1189100 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 00:20:20 +0000 gryffin 1189100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love OTK boots. I think these look great on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1189069 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 23:50:46 +0000 AJ 1189069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! They look FAB on your legs and wonderful with the stylings you've shown! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1188947 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 21:33:12 +0000 Joyce B 1188947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, they look warm and comfortable and they seem to be good for walking in them. Are the soles non-slip?<br /> I hope they feel as comfortable as they look.<br /> I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-otk-boots#post-1188934 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 21:24:03 +0000 kellygirl 1188934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love your opinion on these. I bought the Frye version several years ago but ended up&nbsp;returning them&nbsp;(I think they were too early on in the trend for this late adopter.)&nbsp;I've had these in my basket since NAS and finally pulled the trigger.&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA: I added pics I found of the Frye boots that I returned for comparison.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks in advance!&nbsp; </p>
