And I wore my mid-calf boots to death, along with lots of booties. </p> <p>But tall boots are making a fashion statement this Fall so it's going to be interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-948125 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 14:41:10 +0000 shedev 948125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking for tall boots last winter. There were plenty of sleek&nbsp;equestrian styles but I was looking for something more rate. I was able to find more boots to compliment my style in mid&nbsp;calf and booties. I did find the Bed Stu boots but if I found another to my liking I'd snatch them up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-948085 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 14:07:11 +0000 Raisin 948085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am glad to hear they will be big this fall. I love me some tall boots. Tall, FLAT boots, that is. I don't think I could get through a long, cold, snowy winter without them. Though I only discovered booties at the tail end of this past winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-948048 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 13:39:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 948048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also recall hearing that tall boots were coming back in - although I don't think they truly left but booties have ruled for the past couple of seasons. I have a pair of cognac riding boots and my black Blondo knee high boots from last year's NAS that I still wear and really like.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-948045 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 13:34:18 +0000 Janet 948045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought some really fab booties last year and ended up wearing them so much I neglected many of my tall boots. However, I still love tall boots and think I'll probably wear them a bit more next fall/winter. I think booties were just so easy with BF jeans and the like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-947999 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 12:00:37 +0000 Molly L-R 947999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely need some new tall boots.&nbsp; Preferably two pairs - one smart and one slightly more casual.&nbsp; In cognac or chestnut brown, please </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-947997 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:55:19 +0000 Jaime 947997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The strange thing is that I was completely over tall boots two winters ago, sold off my collection and then proceeded to restock it and wear my new (to me) boots a lot this past winter. It was particularly rainy this year, which was a big part of it - rain plus poor drainage means lots of puddles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-947979 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:32:57 +0000 Anonymous 947979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need tall boots in my climate.

So practical for our brutal winters, especially with dresses and skirt. I hope they stay fashionable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-947969 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:22:40 +0000 Mochi 947969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love tall boots, but until the past two years had not owned a decent pair, so they are very fresh to me. I love booties too. To me it's like your kids; you love 'em both, or all&nbsp;: ) (funny analogy, since I only have one) . I just feel taller and sleeker in tall, fitted boots, but the booties are what bring edge and interesting patterns and colors to my outfits.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-947922 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 07:16:00 +0000 jenanded 947922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I must be way off the fashion radar as Edinburgh has been tall boot heaven for me as I have difficulty finding my size... anyhow several boxes of above have been delivered to Aust awaiting my return. For me boots are my saviour for wearing skirts as I am so poison eye about my legs and I just love the swishy feel of wearing dresses/skirts over pants. I was never into the equestrian look but that is so funny because people here have been commenting on how dull it is seeing tucked in boots, long t, jacket and long hair look - even though the young women wearing them are so gorgeous. So definitely a change is in the air. As for ankle boots, they have been in for a few years and I wear mine nigh on daily this trip but perhaps there is a turn coming... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-947913 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 05:56:49 +0000 Deborah 947913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lantana you <b>must </b>try that look.&nbsp; I&nbsp; am off to peruse Angie's pinterest. I am a long time wearer of dresses over pants and skinnies and I think it's a really cool look while maintaining an elegance.&nbsp; You would rock it!</p> <p>Anna, shouldn't be long before they are on sale:)&nbsp; </p> <p>Firecracker it will be intersting to see what comes next.&nbsp; I think we do need a fresh take on the long boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-947909 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 05:47:47 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 947909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've got me thinking, Deborah. I can relate to the feelings you express about your ponte leggins and tall boots. I'm a little ponte-skinny-pant fatigued, perhaps, too. So I think we may need to come up with new ways to wear tall boots. I'm wondering how they might play with the newer slouchy pants fits, but I can't quite picture any inspired looks. Meanwhile, I'm with those who would advise you not to look too hard for tall boots, but just keep an eye out in case the most fabulous pair happens to fall from the sky in front of you.<br />Forgot to say earlier: Love the patent short boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-947907 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 05:43:29 +0000 annaj 947907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm waiting for a sale Deborah! Then they'll make their way home with me! And I'll wear them all summerish-winter long </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-947905 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 05:38:54 +0000 Lantana 947905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I had tall boots on my wish list but I have ditched them in favour of an idea from Angie's Pinterest that I am going to try.* It is from the Fall Winter fashion runways and it is skirts and dresses worn over skinnies. When I tried this the mirror said nice things about the look. <br />And my legs were snugly warm.<br />And not buying boots means I can stay on track with (aspirational) SYC.<br />But I haven't tried this IRL yet or even taken photos. Anyway, do take a look - I'd love to know what you think.</p> <p>* Will I? Might be a bit fashion forward for the sleepy hollow I inhabit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-947904 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 05:37:56 +0000 Deborah 947904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adelpha, yes perhaps it is the equestrian style we are tired of, though my boots aren't really in that styling.</p> <p>Anna, those red booties are amazing.&nbsp; I love Wittner shoes. You need those:)<br />And yes I find it so funny what we call cold and what someone else calls cold!&nbsp; I feel kind of guilty saying it's cold here when I know our Canadian friends have sub zero temps and snow. I could&nbsp;not have had bare legs in those temps either he he </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-947903 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 05:31:36 +0000 annaj 947903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and did you giggle at Angie the other day Deb? She was wearing her summer gorgeousness and bare legs, while we were all rugged up in our winter woollens. I googled weather forecasts, and we were experiencing very similar temperatures, which for us, means winter. I'd have frozen with bare legs that day!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-947902 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 05:28:45 +0000 annaj 947902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not thinking about them until the perfect pair fall from the sky (which would have to happen whilst I was doing a head stand so that they could land perfectly on my feet!).&nbsp;</p> <p>I bought a pair of long boots several seasons ago, and chose a pair with a "quirk factor" that were not high fashion, but I just loved them. I still love them, but the heel height and hard soles make my feet quite tired by the end of the day, so I don't wear them often. They also make high-heeled noises when I walk and I prefer quiet shoes.&nbsp;</p> <p>The patent booties are fab! I say buy what you love and love what you buy!! I still have long-boot envy because I am yet to find my perfect every-day pair, so to me, the look isn't tired out just yet!</p> <p>I think I'm going to follow suit though, because I saw these and loved them...</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.wittner.com.au/shoes/boots/niley-red-garda.html">http://www.wittner.com.au/shoe.....garda.html</a></p> <p>Need. Red. Booties!!!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-947901 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 05:24:49 +0000 Adelfa 947901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last fall I bought a pair of concealed wedge almond toed tall boots in a black pebbly leather. I really enjoyed wearing them with dresses and denim (including colored). However I have a pair of lovely classic black riding boots that I can't stand the sight of anymore and I didn't wear them once last fall or winter. So I'm wondering--is it all tall boots we're tired of? Is it mainly equestrian influenced boots as Firecracker indicates? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-thinking-about-tall-boots#post-947897 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 04:58:38 +0000 Deborah 947897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker I wonder if we are tall boot fatigued?&nbsp; I am wearing mine over ponte leggings today and I am quite bored by the look. </p>
