I'll start with a skirt that works with my boots and go from there.    thimblelina on "tall boots?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-boots#post-1394688 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 15:02:35 +0000 thimblelina 1394688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Tall boots are fashion classics, I think. I've had good luck with zipperless slip on boots. Nothing bugs me more than a wide saggy shaft. I wear frye campus & dorado styles. But my calves are just on the slim side of average, not super slim.

I've been wondering the same thing about boot height this year. 12 inch calves are tough when it comes to fitting knee high boots and I finally have a NAS pair that almost fit that have yet to be worn when I'm wearing short boots all the time. It is hard to know, but the tall boots will be warm when it gets really cold.

If you're thinking of buying a pair of boots only to wear with a skirt you haven't bought yet, and if you never wear skirts and have to find a way to change your activities in order to have occasions to wear them, and if you don't know if skirts are even going to be warm enough for you in winter, then I would say no, don't buy boots. I'd suggest buying a skirt you can wear with the boots you already own, and test out the look that way. But...if you have other ways in mind of wearing the new pair of tall boots, then   happy boot hunting! cheryle (Dianthus) on "tall boots?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-boots#post-1394619 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 12:53:19 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1394619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm not sure what your climate is like but I am in a cold area and tall boots are a must.  There is not much worse than getting snow in around your ankles at the beginning of the day. I have narrow calves too and I read the reviews to find boots that others have complained are too narrow.  LOL  I have a number of pairs of booties and I love them but I also have a few pairs of knee high and even a pair of OTK and love them too.  I am sure they will get a lot of wear as it gets cold out.   If you would them to do double duty with dresses/skirts and more casual, I would suggest a heavier heel.  The narrow heel is a much dressier look in my opinion.  I ordered the zinda last week and at least three others on YLF have them and they look fab.

Um, it sounds like I'm looking for enabling, but I am mostly looking for honest thoughts.
