First Tall Boots - yay or nay?

sapf

I've never been able to wear tall boots from a store, but since they are "trendy" I got a pair from zappos. What do you think? Normally I'm more of a jeans and tshirt type of girl but I would like to be able to wear skirts in the cold NYC winter.

Should I return or keep? I'm not 100% sure I have the confidence to wear these in public.

tall boots look good with that outfit, but they look a little loose at the top? that might bug me,.

guidothecat

yeah boots! I probably have about 6 pairs...and I wear them with skirts, dresses, jeans, slacks, everything! :bigsmile:

Nice

if you like them then wear them! I personally love tall boots..and I never care what anyone thinks about my style. I wear what I like!

lol i bought my first 3 pairs of tall boots and i havent worn them yet but u lok good!

sammys1girly

Agreed! I love my tall boots but like them a little snugger at the top. Otherwise, you could totally carry them off!

traciseals

YAY!!! you can rock them! go for it!!

crobl

As someone with gigantic muscular calves who can never find tall boots that fit - rock that pair!!

On that note - if someone knows where I can find some that fit (without gross looking elastic) hook a girl up

Yeah.. they are definitely a little loose at the top. The problem is that I have really wide calves (16") so I need to buy wide calf boots to have them fit and can therefore only buy on zappos for the most part.

I'm a fan of the look in general, but not a fan of the fit of your boots. Sorry! I'd say, return and look for a smaller calf opening.

I wish I could wear over the calf boots, My legs have never fitted them well!

I say keep em!

With this particular pair I'd say wear them with skinny jeans (if you can pull off skinny jeans, I cannot). The leg opening is a bit loose for a skirt. They would also be a bit too bulky to wear under bootcut jeans (my usual way to wear tall boots).
Generally I prefer a little more heel but I'm also 5'1" so I'm always looking for ways to look taller.

First of all....you look beautiful They are a little wide at the top, if you are feeling a little self conscious about them try them out with some black stockings, will make your legs look longer

fitsin10

you look great in them, they are keepers!!!

ExplorinLauren

Yay!

MissKitty9

I think they look great! What's not to like? Personally, I think they fit fine at the top...it's stiff leather, so it doesn't look like they'll slouch down or anything.

Keep them, they look nice.

I have about a half a dozen pair of tall black boots of varying heels and tightness. The looseness doesn't bother me, especially as you say you need the wider calf opening. I would go with black tights with your skirt. It will make the opening less noticable and pull the look together more. Being a NEw England girl, I love my nice thick tights with my boots. Enjoy them!

I love Zappos! Your boots look great. It's not a big deal that they're loose at the top, lots of boots look like that. Plus you have a little more room if you wear them with tights or leggings or jeans. They are very cute. I remember my first pair of tall boots... I just wore my riding boots from when I was a teenager and I was thrilled that my calves fit :P I love them with the skirt, great classic look.

Seconding black stockings or tights.

This! I was thinking black stockings or tights. Love boots...all boots....especially tall ones. You can rock it!

LorinaLynn

I think they look great. Yeah, they're a little bit at the top, but that just means you have room to wear them over a pair of skinny jeans.

Guamybear

You look fine in them.. I can't until my calves are small enough to wear some...

rml_16

So cute!!!!

ChristyRunStarr

I say keep them but I love boots and have about 6 or so....I'm wearing one now and have 2 other pairs in my car (you never know what you might feel like wearing when you leave the gym LOL) You can wear them with jeans and a teeshirt too

asaw00

I agree with the darker tight idea. I also have huge calves, I found some great boots at jessicalondon.com., prices aren't bad either!

daisiemae123

You are definitely rocking the tall boots! Keep!

Looks like you are smiling, so yeah.

Seems like I got the black tights/leggings suggestions from multiple people. I'll give it a shot.

Zappos has boots that fit a wide calf?? My calves are 17" and I can't get any of them zipped up
