Slouch calf-length boots

Sarah

I definitely want to experiment with this look. I think it looks great on Angie and the others who have posted photos on the forum.
So I'm curious, where are you finding your boots or where do you suggest I look?
For starters, I found these on Zappos. Am I heading in the right direction?

I like this color because it's very near my natural skin tone. Pale.

You’re getting it! Measure your calf though. The circumference of the boots might need to be a little wider. You want them to fit a little looser UNDER the calf. But you don’t want your calf to balloon or lollipop over the top of the shaft. Does that make sense?

Yep, that makes sense. Thanks! I'll try some on in the next week or so and see what I end up with.

I like those Vince Camutos -- I can see you in them, Sarah.

My new black cowboy/wingtip boots are VC, and I can completely attest to their comfort!

Those are very pretty boots Sarah. I love your stratagy of having the boots be skin colored. I envy your ability to wear those heels.

Thanks!

I am going to a historic/cowboy town this weekend and want to bring a pair of boots like this along. Probably to wear with this dress, since I really don't have a sack dress - yet.

Mine's solid black, and it's not that short on me.

Nice selection of boots, Sarah. I love the short Miz Mooz perforated boots. I like that length--seems like it would fit well below the widest part of the calf. I would love a pair of spring boots like that! I also really like the RocketDog Slingers and the Mia's. I think the belted boots look really cute and not quite as western looking as some of the others. Not sure that the first pair can be slouched. Some of those manmade shafts are pretty rigid. I hope you post a picture of your cowboy town weekend

I really like the Mia Silverado boot. It slouches perfectly and I like how the heel blends in with the leather.
