Stuart Weitzman Cadet OTK boots - keep or return?

Ok ladies, venturing out if my comfort zone a wee bit. Be warned, they're not styled --obviously. I just came back from a run and decided that my running capris show my "area of concern" better than anything else, so I kept my gear on to try on these boots. Pardon the hair! :-/

My worry about OTK boots is that my thighs are not exactly tiny, and I'm not sure whether my eye goes to them because of my self-consciousness about that area or if the boots draw extra attention in a less-than-flattering way. I know I can count on you for honest feedback!

If they're keepers, I would wear them with skirts/dresses and skinnies. They are comfortable and a wee bit big in the foot, but I think an innersole and socks or tights would correct that.

What say you??

I don't wear pants tucked unto boots because I think my thighs are too big. But your thighs aren't big!!! You are long and lean and look great. I think with a non-workout top the proportions would be even better. I say yay.

Oh, honey - your thighs are not big - at least don't look big here! Those look amazing. Droooooooool.

Amy

I think they look awesome. Your thighs look just right. Not big at all.

Ves

What are you talking about?! I'd kill to have legs like yours. Big ole KEEP from me. They look nice and slender on you.

Ornella

It's not that easy to see the thighs because of the way your hands are placed. Since I sometimes intentionally pose like that to lessen pear-effect, my eye is very used to the curve that bigger thighs have. With that in mind, I see no signs of big nor bigger thighs at all. Pure self-consciousness. You have perfect figure!

Last but not least, those boots are divine.

I vote Keep! They work really well on you, and show off your long legs. No need to worry about the thighs, although I completely understand as the tops of mine are the widest part on me. And getting wider as I get older. : (

I actually think they look great with a fitted cat-woman silhouette like this one. Skinny dark wash jeans or black jeans or leggings. Black turtleneck. With maybe a big coat over the look in a different color/fabric/texture. Or, wear them with a big sweater that hits at that sweet spot on your thighs (which is an inch or two below the fullest part on me).

They look fantastic on you Janet! Seriously, your thighs do NOT look big! Your legs look about a mile long!

sarah

These boots fit you like a GLOVE! KEEP!

Louise

You have gorgeous thighs I wish mine looked so sleek. Definitely keep the boots, if you're still worried about them drawing attention to your thighs pair them with black leg coverings so the top of the boots is less noticeable x

ironkurtin

Those are great on you!

Aida

Janet you are made of legs These boots look great on you, I see no overemphasizing or eye-drawing to your thighs with these; I think the effect looks the same as wearing skinny jeans. Paired with black like this they look incredibly sleek. They should work really well for the styling options you are after! I vote keep!

nancylee

WOW...you look crazy fabulous. Keep, keep, keep. No questions!

Jonesy

I think they look great! Are you planning to wear them exclusively with pants?

Perfect fit!! I am so short that my OTK boots come up high enough to frame my thighs. I don't have big thighs but the look definitely makes me more self conscious because of where they stop on me. I don't think yours are doing this at all. These boots fit your legs perfectly, I think the way they just cover your knee means they are far enough away from your thighs to avoid any issues, not that there are any issues to avoid. Amazing boots. I vote keep!!

Erin

Holy smokes keep!!! They look great an they are tall enough even for tall you. Very very very fab!

goldenpig

Yowza! KEEP!!!

rae

I am upgrading my vote from a simple "yay" to "hooray!" Soooooo good!

rachylou

You have good legs, no worries! Luv the boots.

Janet

Ok, they're keepers! You all are helping me continue to get over my body image hangups.

christy

Goodness girl - you DO NOT have anything to worry about with those gorgeous legs of yours! Love the boots and think they fit well with your style. Glad your are keeping them.

Are these low enough profile that you (or I ;)) could wear them with a pencil skirt - or would there be a ridge? They don't have my size anywhere in WA, so I'll need to pony up to try them - and that's one of the needs I have for black boots.

And hooray for getting over body image hang ups!

Shu, I was just thinking of you when I put on these boots today. I'm not sure about the pencil skirt -- I think you'd have to try it on to find out. I think you'd be happy to know that the fabric in the back is a very sturdy neoprene, so I think these would be fine in the rain!
