thighboots Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Good point, I'm just not sure I would have the confidence to walk on by and not care. I have / do street heel in areas I know are going to be quiet. I tend to wear long jeans so I can pull them down low to hide the heels. I'm sure the pointed toe and telling heel noise gives me away. I've never had any adverse comments, just not sure I'm ready for a busy area?
Tallinheels Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I really love wearing boots but also like nice shoes
thighhighguy Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Just found these on ebay, would love to walk out in these:smile: i think they are £100well spent but alas one size too small I wonder if they will sretch? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280467011297&var=&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT
booty lover Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 i chose knee high boots, they go perfectly under or over jeans/trousers stilettos are the way forward, just love them
Thighbootguy Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Just found these on ebay, would love to walk out in these:smile: i think they are £100well spent but alas one size too small I wonder if they will sretch? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280467011297&var=&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT Thighhighguy I have a pair of those is a size 14. The heel was ½” higher than I could handle it so I had them lowered. They are cow leather so they might stretch, mine ran a little large but there is no ankle zipper and mine do just let my foot past the ankle and I doubt if I could get my foot into a size smaller. These aren’t the most comfortable boots I’ve worn. It’s a great price but … I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

chris100575 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Knee-high boots are definitely my favourite, especially with stiletto heels! I'm zipped into my Faith Montreals as I type.
kikepa Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 About a third of my collection are knee-high boots. The rest are a a mix of sandals, shoes, slides/clogs, and ankle boots. Those who really care about us don't make a fuss about what we wear. Those who make a fuss about what we wear really don't care about us.
JohnH Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Down in the Dallas Texas USA area anything longer than shoes is too darned hot! Sandals are more comfortable than closed shoes. Highs have cooled down somewhat from 40 deg C [104 deg F] down to about 32 deg C [90 deg F].
Chris45CB Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Most of the cowgirl boot styles are calf high, so I went with calf boots. But, in a non-western style, I prefer knee highs.
BOOTED UP Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Hi all, I have all the boots mentioned in the poll but I do not own any shoes, my favourite has to be the knee high boot for all the reasons said. On saying that I have noticed over the last few months that the OTK boot is in a lot of shops, I have bought 2 pair recently 1 brown and 1 black pair, and I love the feel of them, they are good to wear over skinny jeans or with a short skirt that just comes down to the top of the boots. Happy heeling, Booted up.
Boot-lover Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 I wear my boots only at home. Although I have several pairs of thigh high boots, my favorite pair are lace-up patent knee high boots which I wear most of the time.
HappyinHeels Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 I voted shoes as that's the majority of what I have although within the last year I have REALLY warmed up to ankle boots having added three pairs with 5-5.6" stiletto heels. I believe that the coolest of all boots though are the classic lace-up knee-high boots and perhaps a good skirt or dress to go with them. When it comes to boots I have started to drink the cool-aid.

Piratubu Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 I just love them all, but ankle boots have a slight edge.
Asa Valen Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 I suppose that thigh length for me is my main preference, but I do have knee highs that I wear too. I really love all of them calf, knee and thigh high. For me the Thigh highs carry a really bold statement that's hard to ignore an tend to have a intimidating shock value.
Boots4Me Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I'm a boot lover first and foremost so I voted for Knee Highs as they are the most practical to wear out or when I am driving. I also like them under or tucked into jeans. Thigh Highs of which I have 2 pairs (One pair is crotch high) are good for play at home but I do occasionally wear them when driving but I'm not bold enough just yet to walk outdoors in them.
DProud2700 Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I have voted for knee boots as well, but with the current styles of thigh high boots being so fashionable to wear and not show anything that says they are thigh high boots. (I got one pair from DSW and one from Victoria Secrets and want one more from Baker Shoes) I am beginning to lean towards thigh high boots.
dww Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Ankle boots only for me, must be black and very clean. life is not a rehearsal
geo Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 I would rather have thigh high boots but have to settle for knee highs
WhyNotMenToo Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I love Knee highs because they are the sexiest, as they usually are very form fitting to the leg and I love that look too. I don't have Thigh highs yet but on the look out for them, just over the top bad girl sort of slutty look I love. I also feel it's time to end gender based clothing that men should have the same fashion rights as the woman have enjoyed for 60 years. Equality in Fashion!
morpho Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Im gonna switch for high tight boots as it is looking sexy and trendy nowdays, alittle over the knee is fine, but even the slutty ones are ok only if the heel is not above 6inch high, i see more than 10 girls everyday at the street passing by with all kinds of styles of H TH boots here in shanghai, and i am in the 7heaven when i see them passing by.

b2please Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Wow calf boots are a minority! I think they are really nice. Good support and nice boot look without competing to take over your pants leg. Just ordered my first sandals though (summers coming!)
Awtucs Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I prefer thigh high boots, even though I only have one pair... Love every kind of lovely footwear, of course, and actually have been buying mostly quite (to very high heeled platform sandals lately; it's nice with the extra height and the sense of elevation it gives. May have to try it outside this spring...
SleekHeels Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Shoes are my favourites, with knee-high boots a very close second. What I don't like about my legs is that they're quite short, and while heels really help to elongate them and give a nicer proportion, mid-calf boots seem to have the opposite effect so I tend to prefer to hide those under trousers, or maybe wear with a long pencil skirt to get the look to work. Ankle-boots tend to work best for me under trousers too, though maybe I should try them with skinny jeans or leggings to see if I can find a way to make that work for me. I also tend to avoid really thin narrow heels as they tend to make my legs and the rest of my body look chunkier. If you like it, wear it.
SleekHeels Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Oh, and as for thigh boots I don't own any and have never even tried them, but I thought these (from Wallis) this winter were absolutely gorgeous... unfortunately I couldn't stretch my budget to buy them, even when they were discounted. If you like it, wear it.
legs777777 Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Great boots in that picture sleekheels, for me I like most heels but a favorite has to be knee high boots, wins every time.
gasmask73a Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Kneehigh boots! Workboot style in public, high heel boots at home.
Guest Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 My vote is for shoes but its about a 60/40 split on what I own Al
Rei Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 I tend to like knee high boots the most, probably from a practical standpoint. I'm normally too lazy to shave my legs for shoes and I prefer to wear loose jeans over boots (tight jeans are just uncomfortable in certain places *cringe*) which ruins the whole point of thigh highs. Also, I like the extra support that a boot gives as I love really... really... high platforms. Knee high is perfect for me. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛABΕ
danielp6406 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 ...I prefer to wear loose jeans over boots (tight jeans are just uncomfortable in certain places *cringe*) which ruins the whole point of thigh highs... You may want to try Levi's 511 skinny jeans which are specially designed for men...
