It was my knee high boots I wore this morning.

Well, be sure that you can walk confidently in whatever style you choose.  Stumbling around in public will cause a setback for sure.  What style/size/heeled boots do you want to wear in public?

I think I will start with a low heel knee high boot and hopefully progress from there. Absolutely want to be confident I can walk more than a few steps.

My heels and tall boots are not especially eye catching and I just wear them out and about. I wear my boots over my jeans and they really do blend in and  look unremarkable in the best sense of the word. I’ve no interest in being noticed or pushing an agenda, merely in wearing style of footwear that I like. 

I really want to start wearing boots when I'm out and about in the UK. What style are the tall boots you wear and do you have any pictures...I'm inspired to wear the shoes/boots I want to.

I’m just back from a stroll to the supermarket, a mile or so each way, and with the supermarket being in quite a busy crossroads, and at quite a busy time - lunch hour. I wore my grey suede OTK boots, medium heels. Usually I don’t bother noticing if anyone is noticing because I don’t care, but today as an experiment I decided to look at where people hold their eyes when they are out and about. In almost every case it is  straight ahead into the vague middle distance, or else they are looking for something, or speaking to someone. In any case their observation threshold doesn’t appear to be lower than the waist.

There are those of course with downcast eyes, either gloomy or lost in thought or because they are very introspective. And again, these people don’t seem to observe much either.

One woman noticed my boots - she had been gazing at a spot on the footpath and I happened to walk through it. She glanced up at me, then back at the boots and then returned to her own private bubble. 

Now I was wearing, as I said, mid-grey suede OTK boots paired with fairly light coloured, but not pale, blue jeans. And worn outside the jeans. They worked together in a complementary way. If I had been wearing something more eye-catching - patent thigh-highs - maybe more people might have noticed. The point is that while we may be conscious that we are wearing something outside the norm, most of the rest of the world just doesn’t. Especially if you don’t make a show of it.  I mention this because of some posts I saw lately where people were wearing really quite presentable boots and were nervous about the reactions. Don’t be. It’s fine.

Really interesting post Shyheels. I am not confident to wear my boots on show yet in public but I can feel the time is coming.

Just Sydney for 3 days before joining a cruise....definitely not boot wearing weather.

Happy 2023 to you too!

Mine started with a trip to Australia and New Zealand over Christmas and New Year...now back in the UK and back to perfect boot wearing weather!

I see that heavy jumpers are being promoted as a solution to chilly homes and offices amidst the heating/energy crisis this winter. Seems to me this is a great time for OTK boots to come into vogue - I've been getting some very, very good use out of mine lately! Wouldn't be without them! 

I think that OTK boots will absolutely be the go to uniform for this winter!

Absolutely understand….I’m very new to sharing my love of boots externally….hope to chat soon.

Not a million miles away….do you ever meet up?

Thank you for posting a reply.

I’m in Wiltshire so depending on which part of the South Coast you may be quite near.

I’ll post some more boot pictures soon.

Working from home has totally changed my boot wearing. Happily I can now do this most days in comfort and my walking in heels has dramatically improved…..practice makes perfect!

Thankyou Shyheels….I also have some Fernando Berlin knee boots as well…just uploaded a photo to my album. Do you like the style?

Hi I’m Dave from the UK.

I’m happily married and been a boot wearer for 30 years….mostly behind closed doors but occasionally drive in boots and go for short walks.

I’ve always viewed as a guest but now want to meet like minded people as life is too short!

Hope to chat with you soon.

Dave

Hi I’m new here, is there anyone from Wiltshire or adjoining counties?

I visit many building sites with my work…not sure I would get away with wearing this outfit!

Or get away with this one either…..

Hi to you all!

I tend to mostly wear thigh boots or chap boots when I work at home and knee boots when I’m driving….knee boots with a 3” heel. 
My thigh and chap boots have 4” heels.

Here is a picture of my comfy Fernando Berlin thigh boots

One of my favorite, shorts with knee high Jessica Simpson stilettos.

That’s a great look…super casual.
