Hurrah!!</p> <p>I think three:</p> <p>1. Flat patent leather (dressy casual)<br /> 2. Kitten heel, fabulous (dressy)<br /> 3. (On the hunt for) Flat, matte leather, more casual riding boot</p> <p>Sometimes my patent leather boots just seem to dressy to wear with tights and a cotton dress. I think matte black boots would be the very thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262901 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 10:34:07 +0000 RoseandJoan 262901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>None, unless you count my wellington boots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262885 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 09:18:06 +0000 Louise 262885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>5 pairs, I think I have too many!!<br /> Flat OTK pirate boots<br /> Flat slouchy patent boots<br /> Flat black riding style boots<br /> Santa boots with an inch heel (for snowy weather)<br /> Slouchy cuffed wedge suede (quite high so I only wear them for dressy occassions) x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262882 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 08:02:37 +0000 Ljubica 262882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two almost identical pairs of riding boots.<br /> Many more in other colors :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262881 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 07:55:27 +0000 Marley 262881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Three -<br /> *OTK flat Michael Kors<br /> *OTK heeled Sam Edelman<br /> *Knee-high square toed - ready to be sent to thrift store - from the '90's - Nine West</p> <p>Also have one pair of flat lace-up dark gray Charles David's which fulfill the same purpose as black! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262836 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 05:23:10 +0000 Debora 262836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only one. I'm pretty sure that Joy and I have the same pair of Aerosole boots. I am looking for a plain pair of black riding boots and having a lot of difficultly because of my fussy feet and skinny calves.. I've already bought and taken back two pairs by Via Spiga and Talbot's. I do have an Ecco Hobart pair for your consideration that I will post soon. Not sure if it has too many buckles, but I'll let you all be the judge of that. It has a wide calf circumference, but can be adjusted because of the buckles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262807 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 04:28:37 +0000 Angie 262807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahem, I have 4 pairs of tall black boots: </p> <p>o 20 eyelet Docs<br /> o Dressy heeled patent darlings<br /> o Classic riding boots<br /> o OTK babies</p> <p>Could easily add another 10 pairs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262804 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 04:26:13 +0000 Queen Mum 262804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>only one... my tall black riding boots.

The ones I have are Aerosoles faux leather with a small heel and have served me well. I do have 3 pair of knee high (one with over-the knee option) boots in different shades of brown. The number and style needed probably has a lot to do with where you live. If I lived in Chicago, I'd want a whole wardrobe of boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262761 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 03:25:53 +0000 Vix 262761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two (1 with double-sided zippers, 1 with buckles at ankle/calf), both heeled.</p> <p>But only because I was phasing out Pair 1 when I bought Pair 2 last year. Then when wearing Pair 2 THIS year I decided I missed Pair 1 so much it was worth retreading them as well as doing the annual re-heel. </p> <p>Which is all pretty ridiculous...but it means my tru luv and I are now at year 5 together. ;)</p> <p>[I am sure I could justify a few more black pairs, though!] </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262744 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 03:08:34 +0000 Steph 262744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I just realized that I forgot a pair of black boots. I actually have four. And I agree that you can't have too many. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262737 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 03:05:03 +0000 kellygirl 262737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm embarrassed to say that I have five. Black is my go-to color for footwear. Only two are really in regular rotation. And no, I don't really think you can have too many pairs of black boots or boots, period : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262666 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 02:08:56 +0000 catgirl 262666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have three. A mid-calf low-heeled pair, a vintage zip and lace pair, and a military-looking pair with buckles. And I would happily add more, although I wouldn't say I "needed" them. I have to say, the first ones get the most wear, even though I bought them more for practical reasons than out of love. I think it's because they are more generic and don't have to be styled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262663 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 02:06:20 +0000 ticksgirl 262663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only one, tall heeled dress boots. But they're very old and pre-YLF, so they don't fit my calves well and end up looking slouchy and casual. So I want to replace them. I thought I also wanted flat riding boots, but after trying a few pairs on, I've realized I don't like the feel of flat boots.</p> <p>Like you, I'm learning that the quest for the perfect black boots is going to take some time, possibly even years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262658 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 02:03:17 +0000 Theresa 262658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 Pairs here.</p> <p>Flat tall riding style which I wore HEAPS this winter, and a pair that are above calf height with a mid heel - these I usually only wear out of an evening as the heels are a bit too tall for running around with the kids.</p> <p>I don't think I want any more black boots - my winters are so mild that I just can't justify it...</p> <p>I also have a heeled pair of pull on brown boots, and wouldn't mind a pair of flat brown riding boots, but I'll see... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262651 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 02:00:12 +0000 Maya 262651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just 2. Via Spiga OTK's and my beloved Stuart Weitzmans.</p> <p>I would like to add a heeled pair when I muster up the courage to shop for such a daunting order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262649 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 01:59:51 +0000 Jonesy 262649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one pair that I no longer wear, because they are too big in the calf (I noticed it before, but it didn't bother me, but now it does!). This situation needs to be remedied, because I wear black a lot, and need some tall boots. So, a pair are on their way right now, from our friends at Zappos. I am crossing my fingers they will work out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262643 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 01:57:43 +0000 Steph 262643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Three. One mid-heeled Franco Sarto pair that I purchased years ago when I was still buying leather. I wear them occasionally. One pair of four inch heeled Stella McCartneys that I purchased last year, which I wear most often. One pair of leather boots that I have never worn. I bought them right before I decided to stop buying leather, and I am saving them for when I am at a point of desperation and my other boots have worn out and I can't find anything that fits. (I don't buy leather now, but I'm not going to throw away leather I have purchased in the past.) I also have two pairs of grey Stella boots, that are the same boot (saving one for when the first pair wears out; they are identical to the black ones except in color), a brown pair that is the same as my old black pair, and another brown leather pair that have never been worn and I am saving. </p> <p>That's a lot of boots, but when your calves are as big as mine, you have to stock up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262637 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 01:53:19 +0000 Kari 262637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just one - a flat riding boot. I could see myself maybe getting a dressier mid-heeled pair one day, but my brown boots fit better with my coloring and see much more wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262633 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 01:48:38 +0000 Marigold 262633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two pairs in one! They're flat OTK but can be folded down when more traditional look is desirable :). I wouldn't use heeled boots (stay at home mom) but would love a tall flat lace up pair, Docs or similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262632 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 01:48:18 +0000 shana 262632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two - one flat riding boot and one tall heeled boot. Well, actually, I have two heeled ones - one is more of a chunky heel, square toe one that needs to go to goodwill. I don't care for the lace-up style on myself so I feel set with the two that I have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262629 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 01:45:09 +0000 Lisa 262629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One fuzzy not quite to the knee pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262616 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 01:39:55 +0000 Anonymous 262616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two. Tall heeled dress boots ( the LC's I posted about) and a pair of SM Intyce. I have others that have seen better days, that are now retired.<br /> I will be adding a pair of flat, riding style hopefully before winter ends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262604 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 01:33:30 +0000 Megan 262604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 pairs- high heeled dress boots and flat motorcycle style ones. </p> <p>I'm eyeing off black lace up boots too but it's too hot here at the moment to even think about boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262599 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 01:30:56 +0000 Sveta 262599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One pair - slouchy black boots but they are not really knee-high, somewhere between knee and mid-calf.<br /> My other knee-high boots are grey and tan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-how-many-pairs-of-tall-black-boots-do-you-have#post-262595 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 01:26:43 +0000 marianna 262595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One pair.

Honestly, I just need the one pair.
