They're extremely comfortable and have worn surprisingly well for suede.</p> <p>From the arch of the foot to the top of the boot shaft, it measures 16.5" exactly.</p> <p>BTW, where did you find these? I have a friend who'd love a pair but thought they were long sold out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woo-hoo-patience-is-rewarded-i-finally-found-my-perfect-boots/page/2#post-737205 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 22:53:03 +0000 indigold 737205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Julie and Beth!</p> <p>I ordered them on a whim... they were 50% off so I knew I'd probably never get a better deal... and they have free shipping and returns, so if they don't fit perfectly then I'll return them. I'll let you know what I think - I'm hopeful that I will love them!! Do you still love them as much now as you did when you got them? I'd still be interested in the measurement, if you have it handy...</p> <p>I guess another option would be to take them to the cobbler and lop off a few inches of the top, if it comes too high on me.</p> <p>thanks again!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woo-hoo-patience-is-rewarded-i-finally-found-my-perfect-boots/page/2#post-736522 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 02:37:00 +0000 Beth 736522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Indigold, and welcome to YLF:)</p> <p>They are indeed black. I don't have access to my closet right now, but I can measure the boots tomorrow and get back to you if that's not too late.</p> <p>If it helps, I'm 5'5" and my lower legs measure (standing in bare feet) exactly 16" from the floor to the bottom of my kneecap. Depending on how long your legs are, I'd give the boots a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woo-hoo-patience-is-rewarded-i-finally-found-my-perfect-boots/page/2#post-736478 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 01:32:51 +0000 Julie 736478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello, Indigold.</p> <p> As a fellow 5'3 incher, It won't hurt to try a boot that specs out at 16 1/2 inches high. I have a few pairs that tall that I wear regularly. If you do the skinny jeans tucked in, you can get away with a slightly taller boot. There is also the option of wearing your tall boots under boot cuts. Allows you to go for maximum manageable heel height that way, too.</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>Julie</p> <p>PS Holy last years thread, Batman!! Sometimes, it's good to check out last year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woo-hoo-patience-is-rewarded-i-finally-found-my-perfect-boots/page/2#post-735638 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 02:57:45 +0000 Deborah 735638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning and exactly what I have been looking for:) I love how sleek and fitted they are on the leg. Your patience did indeed pay off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woo-hoo-patience-is-rewarded-i-finally-found-my-perfect-boots#post-735565 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 00:56:06 +0000 indigold 735565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Beth!<br /> Resurrecting this post in hopes that you'll see this as I'm a new member and can't pm anyone yet... Lovely boots!! I have a chance to get these Aquatalia Rapids for sale and have tiny calves (even smaller than yours, around 12", or 12.5" with skinny jeans).</p> <p>My question is regarding the shaft height. From what I can find, the shaft height is 16.5" - is this true to what the boot actually measures? I guess they bag at the ankles a tad...? I am short - 5'3" or so, and definitely don't think I can take the full 16.5" shaft height!!</p> <p>Also, is it the black suede shade you have, or some other color? It looks a bit speckled from the photos, though I realize it could be a camera/screen thing.</p> <p>thanks!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woo-hoo-patience-is-rewarded-i-finally-found-my-perfect-boots#post-318177 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 14:12:39 +0000 Lisa 318177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, those are fab boots and the fit is perfect, nice find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woo-hoo-patience-is-rewarded-i-finally-found-my-perfect-boots#post-318125 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 09:00:46 +0000 Aunty 318125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Total perfection!!! and a bargain, life doe's not get any better </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woo-hoo-patience-is-rewarded-i-finally-found-my-perfect-boots#post-318041 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 02:37:40 +0000 Megan 318041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so pleased that after enabling many others, you've finally managed to find the perfect pair for yourself. </p> <p>You could always bring them on a trip to Australia- we are just heading into boot season </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woo-hoo-patience-is-rewarded-i-finally-found-my-perfect-boots#post-318014 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 01:37:17 +0000 CocoLion 318014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tip for narrow calves!

These are the Rapid style from Aquatalia, one of the brands that Angie suggested for narrow calves. They run small...I usually wear a 7, sometimes a 7.5 and these fit well in an 8.</p> <p>Biscuitsmom, I'm passing on all the good vibes to you:) And Ornela, you're too funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woo-hoo-patience-is-rewarded-i-finally-found-my-perfect-boots#post-317857 Sun, 20 Mar 2011 21:21:35 +0000 rae 317857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats!!!
