danielp6406 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 All type of boots with heels of any shapes (with no platform) or flats. I love boots ! Fall is coming so I will start wearing them again. Can't wait !
Guest Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I find that platform boots (as in my avatar, the ones in black) are my favorite (as far as extended walking is concerned) I do have several FLAT heel boots, but the platform boots serve me well if I want to wear heels out for the day.
Dr. Shoe Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Any kind of boot apart from work boots and wellies. I must admit though that I do like the patterned ones and Hunters in groovy colours. I like any kind of heel too so boots with heels tick all the boxes! Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
hh4evr1 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I like most kinds of boots apart from platform boots.
Booted Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I love just about any kind of boots from wellies to thigh high platforms.
roniheels Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 My favorite type of boots are thighboots with a 5" stiletto high heel.
9inchheel Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 all boots as long as they are high heeled and no peep toe.
bootedbloo Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I absolutely love Thigh Highs or OTK boots. My preference are 4 to 5 inch stilleto heels with no platforms in black leather And pointy toes.
Charlie Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 My current rage is western boots with 4" high heels that are underslung a little bit. My favorites are the high shafted ones that come up just under my knee and have a side zipper for convenience. I wear them daily. Charlie Everything I say is a lie!.......I'm lying
Jabble Posted August 28, 2011 Author Posted August 28, 2011 Thank you everyone for posting. Enjoy reading them. Who has seen those thigh-high boots that are completely clear?

Majo Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 For me, knee high, 4" to 5" heel. Heel is not a real deal for me: blocks, classic style, stilettos, odd shapes, etc. It depends on the style of the boot itself. I prefer mid-shaft zips on the side to slip in, or full length zips. I have some back zips, like the latter CL Babel -which to die for and a sheer must, I should say- but they are quite unpractical getting them on, and they are quite loose if you go for a larger number.
HappyinHeels Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 I don't have as many boots as most of our bootlovers here but have really been turned onto them in the last year and a half. My favorite type of boot is the knee boot where the knee is completely visible whether its jeans or something else. That favorite boot would have a rounded toe, a small platform, and around a 5" or more stiletto heel. And how about the sweet sound of the zipper as you SLOWLY zip yourself into your boots?? I think this little feature gets a lot of us hooked onto boots! HappyinHeels:wavey:
Jabble Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 I completely agree on the knee-highs and the sound of the zipper! I have only one pair of boots. I love zipping them up and it just securing around my leg!
Black_Boots Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 I definitely go for knee high boots. Platform boots as I found easier to walk with a platform, negative point about platform: they are more difficult to hide!!!
miltboot Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Most of my boots are thighboots. I do have a few pairs of kneeboots, though. I prefer a 5 or 6 inch stiletto heel, no platform.
Charlie Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 What exactly does the "underslung" mean? When looking at the boots from the side, the heel in the back comes down at an angle that moves towards the front of the boot. If you do a search of underslung heeled boots, you'll find all kinds of pictures. Charlie Everything I say is a lie!.......I'm lying
LthrRam Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 My favorites are leather thigh highs with 5-6 stiletto heels no platforms. However I do have 2 pairs that have half inch platforms, one ankle boot and the other are just knee high that are very nice as well. 7 pairs of thigh highs, 4 pairs of knee highs and 2 ankle boots. One of the ankle boots was purchased for my partner to were but I liked them so much I wear them more than he does, in fact I'm wearing them now!
carly Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 My favored boots are knee high with 4” stiletto heels. See my avatar. That is my all time favored pair of boots. These are from Nine West. I found these at Ross for $ 20.00! They are dark brown and size 12. All together I have 9 pairs of knee high and one pair of OTK boots. I’m waiting for the weather to get cooler soon so I can start warring boots again.
beaztheelz Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Ultra high and skinny heel, knee or thigh high.
chris100575 Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 I love boots! My particular favourites are black leather knee-length ones but I also have several pairs of calf-length boots. It's too hard to pick a favourite pair, but my Faith Montreal knee boots are a strong contender. They have nearly five inch stiletto heels with a half-inch concealed platform and almond toes. They're very nice to wear, and I happened upon them by chance after an assistant in Faith suggested that I might like to try them on. She was right! My favourite calf boots are an easier choice. I found a pair from River Island on eBay, they're black leather with four and a half inch stiletto heels and pointed toes. They're plain leather apart from some decorative stitching, but they zip up at the back, and the zips have dangly silver pulls. The leather and the lining are very soft, and I love the back zips. In fact I like them so much so that when I found a second pair I bought those too.
flatboot Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 I love thigh high flat boots, best if pull-on without zipper. I own two pairs, pirate boots style
Burton85 Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 My absolute favourite style is brown or black knee high with a rounded toe and a slightly chunky (but not huge) high heel. 10cm or higher at the least! I will wear lower heels though, and I do also like ankle boots as long as they're nice and high. I also have a thing for straps, functional or not, I just love how they look on a good boot. Oh, and a side zip is a must, I love the feeling of doing the zip up!
HappyinHeels Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 ALL, I really have been turned on to boots the last year or so. My top preference for the overall experience would be a lace-up knee-high boot with a small platform and a 5-6" stiletto heel. Otherwise a regular knee-high sidezip boot with at least 5"/12.5cm chunky heel is great for those wintertime shopping trips. HappyinHeels:wavey:
Rei Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 I prefer knee high lace-up, but definately with a side zipper. Way too inconvenient without the zipper. As for the heel, 5 inch spike or higher with a platform. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛABΕ
mtnsofheels Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Boots are my favorite. I love all heights, ankle, knee and thigh high, my variety has lace ups, zip ups and pullons. Heel height go from flats to 5", the collection has 4"cowboy boots with a 20" shaft, wedge boots (my current interest) and a few of pair of stilettos. I also have a pair of Fluevog Grand National (clove and hoof) boots which are close to being my all time favs, but no one is top dog. Just love all boots. Canada is a cooler country so boots are in season all year round which I am really happy about. Mtnsofheels
