I have been considering Doc Martens for a while, and after trying some on, finally I decided to go with a less stompy look. First I got the Born boots below. Then I got the more refined yet still very masculine pair shown second below. I'm wearing both with skinny jeans rolled to the top of the boot. The dressier pair I also wear to work, with cropped wide-leg pants, or with lantern-shaped pants that hit just below my ankle. </p> <p>Yes, I would tuck ponte pants into the boots you got. I wear ponte skinnies tucked into moto boots and like the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1750003 Sun, 13 Nov 2016 17:28:46 +0000 Ledonna N. 1750003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love stompy boots also. Something about the masculine look . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1749852 Sat, 12 Nov 2016 20:02:38 +0000 cheryl 1749852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a big fan of stompy boots and those are great.

Proportions are similar to #3 in Anna's selection, but with a fitted blazer and fur kimono wrap coat on top. Thanks guys! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1749717 Sat, 12 Nov 2016 03:50:59 +0000 VioletMyra 1749717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear them with pencil skirts. I'm unsure what the appeal is but I wear a button front blouse/shirt, a pencil skirt and the boots with slouchy socks. For winter the shirt is long sleeved and striped/checked with a pair of leggings added for warmth. I'm probably a sorry sight but I'm comfortable.<br />Best wishes to all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1749716 Sat, 12 Nov 2016 03:44:39 +0000 SandyG 1749716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, those pics are simply perfect.

In fact i think I've worn them once because the footwear stumped me. Love the idea of the lace dress-- need to think on that one. Preppy I can always do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1749671 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 23:21:27 +0000 Style Fan 1749671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the looks Anna found&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1749653 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 21:43:19 +0000 rachylou 1749653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those looks you found, Anna! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1749652 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 21:39:15 +0000 annagybe 1749652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All sorts of ideas I found<br /> Lace dress<br /> Furry jacket<br /> Pleated pants<br /> Preppy shirt with sweater, on the left </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1749643 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 21:25:25 +0000 minimalist 1749643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great!</p> <p>I'd missed out on all the grunge while fashion-wasting the 90s in suits and pumps, and figured now I'm past the age window of trying the stompy-boots-and-dress look. Recently though, I was traveling and got hit with a round of pain that made changing outfits too much work. So wore my very masculine lace-up ankle boots with leggings and a pullover Boden dress. It's probably not "my" look in any sustainable way, but I might explore it a bit further. Departures can be inspiring.</p> <p>Can't wait to see your WIWs with these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1749639 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 21:14:13 +0000 Style Fan 1749639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love.&nbsp; I have Trippen combat boots.&nbsp; I wear them with rolled jeans.&nbsp; I would wear with a dress but I don't wear dresses anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1749567 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 17:56:58 +0000 kkards 1749567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks all for the suggestions....I'm not a casual dress girl, but I will try them this weekend with rolled jeans and crops, and maybe some skinnys.&nbsp; I'm usually more of a refined shoe girl, so these are a departure and I want to be sure I can make them work....i'll try to post some try on pictures this weekend. </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1749563 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 17:26:25 +0000 RobinF 1749563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also tend to like klompy shoes and boots more than delicate ones. I especially love buckles on them. I wear them all the time with skinny pants and jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1749541 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 15:59:31 +0000 Anonymous 1749541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have long embraced my stompy boot (and shoe) loving self. Back in the 90's, I had combat and knee high (!) combat boots. Then I moved to a warm climate and got a little less angry with my dressing and let go of combat boots. The next phase I wore some clompy style shoes that were very comfortable. Then I thought they looked too masculine and let go of the super clompy shoes. </p> <p>But that girl has been itching to come back, I guess, because I've been drawn to this style again. </p> <p>Just a few weeks ago, I tried on some combat boots - a bit more refined than my younger self wore. If they had been a better fit, I would have kept them. I almost made a post a couple weeks ago talking about my love of bigger footwear. I just find it fits proportionally with my body. I am also in need of very comfortable shoes, not tennis shoes, and I find with the right fit, they can be a comfortable workhorse. </p> <p>So that's my long way of saying - I'm onboard for you. I like them with cropped pants, skirts and dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1749532 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 15:32:43 +0000 shedev 1749532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear them with slim pants tucked in all the time. BDUs are an entirely different cut. I've also worn them with cropped and rolled pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1749483 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 12:54:51 +0000 Angie 1749483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GET.&nbsp;</p> <p>Great with cropped and rolled jeans. Fun with casual dresses too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1749479 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 12:49:53 +0000 approprio 1749479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing my lace-up boots with mostly with slouchy pants cuffed at the ankle at the moment. I've worn them in the past with ponte pants tucked into boot socks. I'm not feeling it this season but I've no doubt I'll go back to that one of these days because it's a good look.&nbsp;I'll likely give them a go with a pleated skirt and loose fitting leggings&nbsp;this winter&nbsp;(see pic) but I don't expect to set any YLF trends with this style </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1749462 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 12:14:38 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1749462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been attracted by lace-up boots lately, too, though I'm more on the victoriana end of the spectrum. I could &nbsp;see these with crops, but I wouldn't do the tuck-in pants -- I think it would look too much like BDUs. I like the 90s look with a dress but I am not sure if you would go there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-stompy-boots#post-1749457 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 12:03:55 +0000 kkards 1749457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok, i missed the doc marten phase of the 90's, so i've never had this style of boot before. but i've been attrached to the these Dolce Vita combat boots for a while, and whe they went on sale last week, i ordered them. they arrived 2 days ago, and i'm suprised at how comfortable they are.....but how to wear them? what do we think about them with cropped jeans? would you tuck ponte pants into them?&nbsp;</p> <p>(sorry no pictures, i'm going to try over the weekend, this weeks just been to hard) </p>
