Oh, and even a dress and tights. I style them in a pretty similar way to higher boots, but I sometimes like having more leg showing, it's sometimes easier to make a skirt/dress proportion work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-vs-mid-calf-boots#post-1522206 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 03:30:45 +0000 Brooklyn 1522206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have mid calf boots and I wear them mostly with jeans and skinny pants. I find them tricky to wear with skirts for the same reason as E - most of my skirts end below the knee. Mine are fairly fitted not slouchy. I do think they are a fun change from ankle boots and tall boots but I don't think they are quite as versatile - for me anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-vs-mid-calf-boots#post-1522161 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 01:51:00 +0000 qfbrenda 1522161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a big love for mid-calf boots and have 3 pairs. I have short legs and very athletic calves, so trying to find tall boots that fit well is a challenge. I find mid-calf boots easier to fit and they seem to work on my legs just fine. I wear them with both dresses/skirts and with jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-vs-mid-calf-boots#post-1522135 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 00:56:23 +0000 Word Lily 1522135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Given that I just bought a pair of mid-calf boots, I'm reading these responses eagerly, so thanks for asking, and thanks everyone for answering! (Mine are kind of a nude/taupe/putty color, so I'm hoping that helps with mine.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-vs-mid-calf-boots#post-1522034 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 21:55:30 +0000 Aida 1522034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two pairs of mid-calf boots which, like Diana, I particularly enjoy wearing with skirts/dresses as well as with straight leg pants. Slouchier pairs seem more versatile to me. Overall I don't find mid-calf as versatile as tall boots for myself, but as I've not found any tall pairs that fit me and my style over the past few years I am planning to purchase a third pair of mid-calf boots this season to extend the lives of my precious tall pairs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-vs-mid-calf-boots#post-1522000 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 21:23:10 +0000 E 1522000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one pair of regular leather mid calf boots. I find them a bit trickier to style, since I often wear my skirts just under my knee, so sometimes the proportions can get a bit wonky, compared to my ankle or knee high options. They're lace up granny style though, so I love them &amp; just work around that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-vs-mid-calf-boots#post-1521999 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 21:22:41 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1521999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer a taller ankle book (about 2-3" above ankle) to a mid-calf boot. &nbsp;I find the height more versatile and easier to wear. &nbsp;Also mid-calf can hit at a bad spot for many people so you would have to make sure that the look worked for you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-vs-mid-calf-boots#post-1521968 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 20:34:38 +0000 Carole 1521968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have have been "off" my tall boots lately and really liked the idea of mid calf. I had one pair of Fryes but returned them (also had a defect) thinking they were too chunky or masculine. I do have another pair of black mid calf and I only like them with skinnies or pointe pants. I have several pair of ankle boots and still like those the best right now. I did replace my tall cognac boots last year with a pair of Fryes and we will see how much I wear those this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-vs-mid-calf-boots#post-1521964 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 20:29:40 +0000 Diana 1521964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love mid calf boots and have a bunch. I generally prefer a slouchier or chunkier fit with mid calf boots and a sleeker, closer fit for tall boots.&nbsp; I wear the mid calfs over skinnies as well as with skirts and dresses.&nbsp; I prefer them to tall boots with skirts because I like the shape of some leg.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-vs-mid-calf-boots#post-1521959 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 20:24:33 +0000 shedev 1521959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a few pairs of mid thigh combat boots. I usually wear them with skinnies but I do wear under straights or bootcut jeans some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tall-vs-mid-calf-boots#post-1521950 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 20:08:54 +0000 always trying 1521950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have mid calf boots, not snow boots, just leather boots?&nbsp; I have tall cognac boots bought last year, and an older pair of black ones.&nbsp; I was going to replace my tall black ones this year, but they have more wear in them and are quite comfortable.&nbsp; Since I have a heel lifting problem with boots, when I find ones that stay put I get them.&nbsp; Heel inserts do not work for this problem.&nbsp; Now I have been looking on pinterest, etc. and am finding that I am liking shorter boots,, I have ankle booties in cognac and black, and a pair of wedge booties that I will wear.&nbsp; Mid calf will be a new look for me.&nbsp; If you have them or do you tstyle them the same as the knee high ones? </p>
