I am considering returning the tall Miz Mooz boots, holding out for a more perfect pair of wedge boots, and getting either the Frye veronica back zip (8" height) or the Born Zelia boot (9" height).

I'm not sure how they would work in an outfit though? With dresses, skirts, or with skinny pants tucked in? Is the effect overly military or casual? I'd like to be able to wear them to work (and I wore my tall Veronica slouchs to work all winter last year, so I can afford to be a little casual, but I don't want boots I can only wear with weekend outfits)

Thanks!
