I'd hold on to them, because the time might come when you're ready to wear them. A good pair of boots is worth its weight in gold. I wouldn't give them up until you don't feel that "spark" anymore.

Thanks everyone. Boots are hard to fit because I have skinny calves, I like them to fit my calves nicely or they either fall down my legs or look odd to my eye. Since I love every pair I own, they are in good shape, and they are fairly classic and true to my style, I will keep them for now.

I have 3 pair. I wear one pair about 6 or 8 times a year (mostly in rainy conditions.) I wear one pair about 5 times a year (mostly with dresses or culottes). And I barely ever wear the other pair (heeled). But I'm keeping them all. Tall boots are hard to fit for me and these are classic styles that will not date for at least a decade, and excellent quality.

I passed along my previous three pairs of tall boots for fit and style reasons. I hadn’t been reaching for the pair that fit, because they were a sportier look than my current preference. Then I found a pair of Frye campus boots that actually fit - turns out mid calf boots work as tall boots on me. I love them but I haven’t managed to work them into many outfits yet. They seem too preppy for me with faded skinny jeans, but ok with solid black skinnies. Next thing to try is a midi skirt.

Anyway, I’m glad you’re keeping yours, and it seems like tall boots are bound to be trendy again soon. And even if they’re not seen everywhere right now, they’re too classic to ever really go away.
