I, too, have slimmer calves (plus: I'm shortish) and it is harder to find boots that are scaled down in both height and diameter to keep the proportions right.&nbsp;<div></p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-boots-1#post-1589294 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 16:20:32 +0000 Anonymous 1589294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's something about the look that I find cute -- maybe it reminds me of little girls wearing their mom's shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-boots-1#post-1589265 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 14:40:02 +0000 Sara L. 1589265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have tall boots with a gap, although not as large a gap as these pictures.&nbsp; I try to minimize it but I have narrow calves and just can't afford the high end brands that seem to be made for more narrow calves.&nbsp; I do the best I can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-boots-1#post-1589203 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 05:37:54 +0000 Meow 1589203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really have a poison eye for this. Probably these women can't find boots that fit their calves. It seems that 99% of the boots out there are for "wide calves". But where are the boots for "regular" calves? I have 13" calves and can't find a pair of tall boots that aren't custom made and really expensive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-boots-1#post-1589189 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 04:48:57 +0000 Gigi 1589189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Ann. I think that women just buy the style that they like and aren't so concerned about proper fit. I don't like the gap on myself because I am short, and I think that the gap just draws the eyes to the top of the boots and makes me look stumpy. But when I go to the mall I do indeed see many women wearing gappy boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-boots-1#post-1589181 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 04:29:24 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1589181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think some of this is that many women wear what they can find, and most tall boots fit moderate size calves. Unfortunately for me perhaps, I have a poison eye for unfitted or too short tall riding style boots. Comes from years of riding and striving for the long/lean silloutte regardless of your size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-boots-1#post-1589066 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 22:11:59 +0000 shedev 1589066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think these are wrong. The more fitted boot feels more polished to me. I think this is a fit detail that gets more attention here than elsewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-boots-1#post-1589035 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 20:22:47 +0000 kerlyn 1589035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting! &nbsp;I recently got rid of tall boots that had too much of a gap. &nbsp;Probably should've kept them...maybe they're right on trend!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-boots-1#post-1589016 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 18:33:57 +0000 Janet 1589016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought the exact same thing as Elizabeth. I think some women actually like to have the roomy boot look to make their already-thin legs look even smaller, frankly. This is, after all, the era of the thigh gap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-boots-1#post-1589015 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 18:27:19 +0000 Liz 1589015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Elizabeth P -- the leg shape of the person wearing the boot must be taken into account.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-boots-1#post-1589010 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 18:03:38 +0000 Elizabeth P 1589010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL... I always assumed this is because they are models with stick thin legs, who don't quite fill out their boots.&nbsp; No way in the world will I EVER find this kind of fit on me!!</p> <p>Will be interesting to see what other think, maybe they ARE getting wider.&nbsp; And I'm just jaded. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-boots-1#post-1589009 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 17:43:48 +0000 always trying 1589009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am seeing more tall boots looking like these photos than ones that fit tighter at the top.&nbsp; I seem to read soooo many posts on here about this being "wrong'.&nbsp; Do you think more women wear them tight at the top or more like the photos here?&nbsp; I do not see many tall boots in my warmer climate, but the majority I do see seem to fit tighter, but I am going to start paying more attention,. as it is colder now and more will be wearing tall boots. </p>
