Oh, I would love to own these. Please keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1159250 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 12:25:09 +0000 viva 1159250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if you can sit comfortably they are perfect. I like my boots on the taller side and can't ever seem to find them to fit like I want them -- maybe my lower leg is unusually long? I am swooning at these. Absolutely gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1159184 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 06:05:01 +0000 Gigi 1159184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad Angie weighed in. This was a tough one, because I think the boots are designed to be taller because of the extra leather in the front. I do think they're very smart looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1158836 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:20:50 +0000 Julie 1158836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great...like Janet I have the opposite problem!&nbsp; I can only dream of boots which&nbsp;reach so high! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1158805 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 19:53:49 +0000 Ornella 1158805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots look beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1158684 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 17:26:26 +0000 Greyscale 1158684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think they look too tall - the main question for me is whether they are too wide at the top, and these fit beautifully. They make your legs look so long and slender! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1158674 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 17:17:26 +0000 shemarie 1158674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them and love the fit on you! Saw them on sale and talked myself out of them since my "winter" is almost over, and now I wish I&nbsp;would've jumped. I too have narrow calves, so your fit experience is good to hear.&nbsp; Need to continue to stalk SW boots, I do believe, and next time be ready to pounce.&nbsp; Enjoy them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1158666 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 17:09:35 +0000 Stephanie 1158666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for chiming in Angie...and thanks for everyone else's helpful comments.

They look terrific.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1158495 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 15:02:05 +0000 Diana 1158495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great to me as long as you can bend your knees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1158476 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 14:39:05 +0000 Stephanie 1158476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Gryffin!&nbsp; I'm glad that everyone likes the look of the boots.&nbsp; I may try to style with some skirts and wear around the house for a few hours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1158101 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 02:03:49 +0000 gryffin 1158101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well they look divine!!&nbsp; If you can sit without crushing the back and they are comfortable - the look is fabulously elegant.&nbsp; You can't do better than SW and that price is a total score!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1158086 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 01:50:50 +0000 Stephanie 1158086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll try the sit test...and good to hear that Angie is giving the ok on boots that may be slightly tall.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hopefully she will weigh in here too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1157976 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 00:23:17 +0000 AviaMariah 1157976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're fine as long as they don't rub and hurt the back of your knee. &nbsp;I have a pair of Cole Haan's that look similar to these and the fronts actually hit my knee cap. &nbsp;I was worried about them being too tall and got the okay from Angie. &nbsp;Good enough for me!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1157969 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 00:17:07 +0000 Sarah A 1157969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these if they are comfortable behind the knee when sitting... (but then again my tall boots are a likely little too tall so maybe that's a rule I choose to break?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1157898 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 22:45:02 +0000 Thistle 1157898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thinkt hese might be a touch too tall. I would wait and find your perfect pair. They are out there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1157895 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 22:38:16 +0000 Stephanie 1157895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet--</p> <p>I'm an equestrian so I have custom tall boots that are 3" taller than these to have them come to your knee while the leg is bent.&nbsp; So...I'm not the best judge for "feel."&nbsp; I can say these are much more comfortable than my riding boots.&nbsp; But, as I'm only in the market for one pair of knee high boots, I want to make sure these are the right ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1157889 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 22:34:33 +0000 Stephanie 1157889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks.&nbsp; I'm in Texas...so weather-wise, I'm more likely to wear with pants.&nbsp; That being said, for the price, it would be nice to have these as options for the couple winter skirts/dresses that I have.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1157884 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 22:31:38 +0000 Janet 1157884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really bad at judging this because I have the opposite problem -- tall boots always come well short of my knees. I think they look great.&nbsp;I think the biggest question is whether they *feel* right -- how do they feel when you sit or bend your legs?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1157880 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 22:25:36 +0000 Suz 1157880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look beautiful on you. But I do think they are a touch too tall, yes. Alas....</p> <p>Would you ever wear with skirts? That might be the real test. If not, you might be able to get away with this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1157861 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 21:59:24 +0000 doubleh 1157861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks to me like you have the legs for them! &nbsp;I think they're great boots. &nbsp;As long as they don't chafe the back of your knee when bending. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-setasides--too-tall#post-1157849 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 21:50:16 +0000 Stephanie 1157849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last week, I ordered the Setaside boots by SW as they were 50% off at Nordstrom's and I have a very narrow calf.&nbsp;&nbsp; But...I'm wondering if they are too tall for me.&nbsp; Help needed!&nbsp; Thanks in advance... </p>
