Times spent on Pinterest reveal a lot of knee high boots worn regularly as a part of a look or style statement. Sometimes they are worn with skinny pants, sometimes with skirts, etc. Also, I note some folks on the forum are fans.

Below are pictures of my boots. I wear the Sorels regularly for shovelling snow, or when it is just plain cold (which it is regularly here) for grocery shopping, or running errands when I'm in jeans or cords. The to-the-knee Franco Sarto leather boots get worn on the commute to and from work most days from November to May through snow and cold, but I switch to shoes at work. The over the knee (faux leather) boots get worn when I commute on public transit because they are low heeled and non slip, and keep me super warm under a skirt or dress. I sometimes wear them under a skirt all day at work. But, I NEVER wear the taller boots when there is no snow on the ground.

The short boots get worn with pants, jeans, trousers, when I'm going building-to-car, or when I don't have to schlep through snow because it has been packed or cleared. I also wear the short boots during spring and fall, when there is no snow.

All the boots are low healed. The Steve Madden Chelsea boots (3 yrs old) get the most wear. The Russell and Bromley boots are new (September) and are the only short boots worn with skirts or a dress.

I'm thinking that if it wasn't for the weather (cold and snow) I probably would not wear boots for style, other than Chelsea boots, which I like quite a bit.

Do you wear boots because of weather dictates or as a style statement? Do you find tall boots comfortable to wear (vs other styles of shoes?)
