Debbie(HK) Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 Does anyone else venture out in their leather thigh boots? I have from time to time and love to wear them but I must admit that it's too hot here to wear them here for most of the year. This is a platform free shoe zone!
IHeels Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 Yeah, knee boots but not thigh boots. Too hot in Australia. HEELS are POWER the HIGHER the BETTER.
Carolyn Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 I haven't got any thigh boots I can't imagine what I'd wear with them. I think the look could be very fetishy and I don't know if I'm brave enough! I've got this thought of those pantomines too, where Dick Whittington or Aladin would wear a tunic type thing which just covered their buttocks and thigh boots. It was a male character and it was always played by a girl with short hair, but the thigh boots usually had really high heels to show it was actually *was* girl or something Anyway, sorry for that digression, it's just an image I can't get rid of...
Debbie(HK) Posted January 21, 2002 Author Posted January 21, 2002 I usually wear mine with a black leather skirt which I think looks good. I suppose that they are a bit outrageous and not everone would have the bottle to venture out in them. They are good fun though Debbie This is a platform free shoe zone!
Debbie(HK) Posted January 23, 2002 Author Posted January 23, 2002 In reply to Thigh boots - a message sent from a friend.... The last time I saw thigh boots being worn in the street was about 3 years ago, we were at a club and this woman came in wearing black leather thigh highs and a short black leather skirt (and white knickers! why white I have no idea!). For most of the evening she seemed to be playing around with the tops of her boots as the temperature in the club was very warm. Temperature reaching 30degrees (Hong Kong spring time ). By the end of the evening she had removed them and was walking barefoot. Apparently she didn't even have tights or stockings on. I hate to think how pickled her feet would have been. I own a pair of thigh high boots with a 4.5" heel (no plat) and have very few occasions to wear them, but useful to own nonetheless. This is a platform free shoe zone!
Debbie(HK) Posted January 23, 2002 Author Posted January 23, 2002 Actually, I wear my thigh boots bare legged. As all my friends know, I never wear tights (pantyhose) and stockings are too impractical for these boots and wouldn't work. This is a platform free shoe zone!
Firefox Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 I really can't remember the last time I saw a woman wearing thigh boots in England, Debbie. It might even have been at a panto like Carolyn mentioned. I know it's not your scene, but trousers and ankle boots or loafers/trainers are certainly the most common wear for women here in winter. I think it needs you back to lead the way, and in our colder climate thigh boots would be more appropriate. It would be nice to see more variety...
Debbie(HK) Posted January 24, 2002 Author Posted January 24, 2002 I think that you will find some in there already This is a platform free shoe zone!
HighBoots Posted February 12, 2002 Posted February 12, 2002 For those who search for designer thigh boots, and not those fetish ones, I have an awesome link to a french boot maker : http://www.jean-gaborit.com And the prices are not very high, specially for the custom made ones.
IHeels Posted February 13, 2002 Posted February 13, 2002 Jean - Gaborit. Whilst I don't own a pair of his boots I have had a look at his web site and find his styles a bit clumpy for me. Anyhow this is only my opinion. Inga HEELS are POWER the HIGHER the BETTER.
Debbie(HK) Posted February 18, 2002 Author Posted February 18, 2002 I can't say that I have seen thigh boots out and about in the UK either Firefox. Apparently I am told that it does happen, but I suppose it depends on where you go. Debbie This is a platform free shoe zone!
IHeels Posted February 18, 2002 Posted February 18, 2002 Hiya, Same here in Oz, I can only recall seeing thigh boots out and about on possibly two or three occassions. It's a bit hot in Oz for such attire. Inga HEELS are POWER the HIGHER the BETTER.
Debbie(HK) Posted February 19, 2002 Author Posted February 19, 2002 Yes Inga, same here in Hong Kong. Too hot and humid most of the year for wearing boots. Debbie This is a platform free shoe zone!
jo-jo Posted February 21, 2002 Posted February 21, 2002 Did anybody else see Kylie Minogue on the Brit awards? What did you think of her boots? They were nearly thigh high perhaps she might spark off a trend I would certainly wear a black version of those in public Jo-Jo xx Don't ask me how I walk in them just try a pair
Jeff Posted February 21, 2002 Posted February 21, 2002 Ah, seems she does that a lot.. I saw her perform on Dutch tv a couple of months ago and there she wore black thigh highs. She pushed the first domino-stone in the world-record attemp in them.

Debbie(HK) Posted February 22, 2002 Author Posted February 22, 2002 Sorry Jo-Jo didn't see it here in Hong Kong. What were they like? Debbie This is a platform free shoe zone!
jo-jo Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 Silver metallic, over the knee but not as far up as the thigh and looked to be about 4" Very nice, my boyfriend liked them very much Don't ask me how I walk in them just try a pair
terayon Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 it may be a cruel sterotype...but generally girls walking around in a skirt and thigh boots are regarded as prostitutes..may be different in other parts of the world though...most things are
Laurieheels Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 It is a cruel stereotype because some of us would love to wear such a look, and we may have men who enjoy that look. But then, since men enjoy women wearing the boots with a short skirt, that might be why the style is employed by prostitutes. If they offer a more appealing image, they may have more customers. It is cruel for everyone involved. Especially since I work on 3 Avenue, and at night a few blocks down on the same street, prostitutes have been known to hang out. It would be too easy to be confused for one if hanging around their turf. Woe to any man who ever thinks that of me. He may be going home in a plastic bag. Okay, I am not that mean, but still! Kitten's got klaws.
IHeels Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 Your right to a degree Laurie, but I think I myself also would have to flirt it up and a lot to get anywhere near the level of sex workers. Yeah, do on occasion wear knee high boots and a tight leather skirt, but don't walk around trying to make myself seen in a big way. Inga HEELS are POWER the HIGHER the BETTER.
Highluc Posted March 1, 2002 Posted March 1, 2002 I would love to wear thigh high heeled boots over my pants but still didn't bring up the courage to do that. Be youself, enjoy any footwear you like and don't care about what others think about it, it's your life, not theirs. Greetings from Laurence
jo-jo Posted March 1, 2002 Posted March 1, 2002 After all this discussion I have just plucked up courage and bought my first pair of thigh high boots (from e-bay if anybody is interested) and I am going to give them a go in public .. so watch this space and I will let you all know what kind of recation I get jo-jo xx Don't ask me how I walk in them just try a pair
MrPonytail1 Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 Hello Jo-Jo Did you get to wear your thigh-high boots yet ? What color are they ? I have always like thigh -high boots and I have a pair of black leather platform boots. Have a great heel day ! Mark
Mano Posted March 25, 2002 Posted March 25, 2002 why is it so that thigh-high boots usually have lower heels that knee-high and ankle-high boots?
Highluc Posted March 25, 2002 Posted March 25, 2002 Mano, I never noticed that, heeled thigh highs are readely available from different sources. Jamin in US is offering nice leather heeled thigh highs for 68 USD (see links page on my website). Be youself, enjoy any footwear you like and don't care about what others think about it, it's your life, not theirs. Greetings from Laurence

I remembered watching Julia Roberts in the movie "Pretty Woman"... I really like the boots she wore in the film. Here in Singapore, thigh high boots are not suitable because of the hot weather and also, you will be inviting a lot of stares and criticisms from the people here. Cheers, Nata
Francis Posted March 26, 2002 Posted March 26, 2002 well, when the warmer weather gets here, I shall parade myself through town in my thigh boots. Coupled with shorts of course! These are the boots in question they have a 4.5" heel so should draw some attention !

hhpumps Posted March 26, 2002 Posted March 26, 2002 mano you must not be looking in the right places. try looking on ebay for them. i have seen many thigh high boots that have 5" and some with 6" heels. also with no platform. i do have a pair of knee high boots with a 4 inch heel, in black patent (what else), but would like to have a pair of thigh hi high heels boots with either a 5" or 6" but do not where i would wear them excpet around the house. patent leather and classic high heel pumps area.
jo-jo Posted March 26, 2002 Posted March 26, 2002 Hi everybody, I have now worn my new thigh high boots. They are black leather, lace up the front and I feel soooo sexy in them. I wore them to a club with some girlfriends with a short black skirt and I must say that I got some very favourable comments, even from women. This said though I did also get some sneering looks which somewhat took the edge of my evening. I am not put off totally though and will try again at a later date jo-jo xx Don't ask me how I walk in them just try a pair
