K/R Awesome Boots! How to wear??

Veteran

So I had Victoria's Secret rewards and a secret reward card and decided to go shopping. Found these awesome calf-hair boots on sale for half price. I fell in love so I ordered them in the black and white combo. Now, I wondering what will I wear them with!!?!! Are they keepers or do you think they will be difficult to style? I want to wear them with skirts and tights but I'm not sure about black tights with the white??? Help!

Those are really beautiful! I think they'd go with just about anything including black tights. My big worry would be keeping them clean. I'd probably have them dirty the first time out and I'm not sure about cleaning calf hair.

Fantastic with all black or dark gray or white jeans, just let them be the star of the show. Deborah should see these!

Cute!!! I see them with black tights for sure. Also colored if you are feeling adventurous!

I was thinking of all black as well but I have a cream/red/black plaid boucle jacket that I thought would look awesome with them. I just don't want to get them and find that I wear them the exact same way every time.

This is my first pair of shoes made of calf hair, so I am a little nervous about that as well. Anyone have any experience with this material?

I love them. I'd wear them to bookend black and white tops or jacket, with either regular blue or colored denim, or black.

I have calf hair booties, but they're animal print so they probably hide the dirt better. I wonder if a protectant spray would be a good idea?

LOVE those! Picturing with light wash denim, in addition to the other suggestions already put forth.

Calf hair is usually nice and soft but the hair can rub off if you tend to rest your heels on things or cross your ankles the same way a lot.

Black and white boots?! Heck yeah, I love them! I think they would be great with black tights. I would wear them with cobalt pants and black and/or white tops. And certainly with jeans.

I would definitely spray them before wearing.

Oooh! I was eyeing those! I'd look through Angie's posts with her white Beatle booties for inspo, like so:

The could work in something like this, too:

Her lighter booties would work too as jumping off places

Lovely boots! I'd wear with white, black, and gray bottoms for sure. Also would be fab with black, nude, or lacy tights. And colored pants, esp. red, emerald, and cobalt. Would be especially handy for bookending graphic black/white prints on top. A few pastel shades would also look good paired with these if you did black, white, and then blush/mint/pale blue.

Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions! I hope I'll be brave enough to finally post some pics when I get these.

AnnieMouse, I would love to see how you style them if you decide to get them! I especially like the second post of Angie's, "Urban Grit", I had that one in mind as well when I saw these boots.

Beautiful! About the calf hair, don't wear them to church if you will be kneeling. The toes of all my shoes get scuffed but the calf hair can't be fixed with shoe polish

@AngelaK - I'd love to, but I'm currently on shoe-buy lockdown -- I realised I have more shoes than time to wear them, and boots make up almost a third (!!) of my collection. I'll have to live vicariously through you

These are awesome! I've been wishing I had lighter/white boots, but just can't see myslef in them in our winter... the black backs really helps "ground" them a bit.

@AnnieMouse. Well. Time for truth! I'm supposed to be on SYC but I've convinced myself that it only applies to clothes! I'm a bit if a boot/shoe addict myself, but since I have "funny feet" I give in. You should be proud of yourself. I envy you willpower!
