Boot Season

Not quite time for the thermals. I do look forward to the "booting" though. Didn't get out much, last year.

 

Late last winter (meaning this year and past the really cold weather) I bought some thicker leggings to wear under my jeans. "Leggings" of course look like this:  post-40-0-83160000-1381101203_thumb.jpg

 

From a great site BTW. >> here <<

 

The extra thick leggings are very stretchy, and not entirely unpleasant to wear. ;)  I've thinner ones too, though I like to wear either type as they stop chaffing around the ankles and calves from stiff uppers. I'm seldom without them when it gets cooler.  :ph34r:

 

 

 

I hope you get out more this year.  :)

 

I have a picture of you in mind..... Standing on the corner of a wooden porch, watching the Sun set across a dusty and desolate plain, with your shiny thigh boots reflecting the last of the evening light......  B)

FF2, If wearing boots was that dramatic I would never take them off. ;) Great visual, though.

A bit surprised to see many "older" women out and about in stiletto knee boots. It was the first big Christmas shopping weekend here, and I spotted lots of mature women in knee length skirts and high heeled boots. Very distracting, in a good way. ;)

I've seen a fair number of knee high boots about recently, but very few with a heel. Seems very few women over 35 want to wear a heel these days, and maybe any woman over 25? Might be different in a nightclub where a high heeled boot might be part of the usual clubbing uniform, but I'm no longer privy to such places. :huh: 

 

Maybe I need to shop at a better class of retailer. B)

Thicker heels are the current trend, which I don't mind for myself, as there's less chance of the heels going down cracked pavement. A thinner heel is more attractive though.....  ;)

 

I'm hoping to get out over the weekend. Maybe I'll see some high heeled boots while I'm out and about?  :huh:

Yes. Hopefully, stiletto boots will be back "in" this winter. 

From what I've seen so far in the UK, blocks are more plentiful than stiletto's. That said .....

I've mentioned many times I would like some thigh highs. I LOVE the feeling of something tight on my legs, and obviously, I like a heel too. Trouble is, I have legs like well - something thin. My calves measure 13 inch in circumference. Most boots have a 14-16 inch circumference, so usually I would have to own a pair that looked and felt like waders ..... (Baggy on the legs.)

But I have spotted something that might change that. I prefer plain black leather, these look like they are going to become available in suede ... Any port in a storm. Because of the company selling them, I'm confident they'll be slim fitting.

The bad news (because there has to be some), £139 ....

Were they available in leather, that wouldn't be a problem at all, but how wearable is suede for me?

Price correction. Not £130 but £139.

VERY nice boots. Leather or suede, my problem will most certainly be SIZE. (sigh) 

Zara are known to come up small (usually) on their shoe sizes, by at least a half a size. I have a pair of their courts with 5 inch heels, that fit 'perfectly' as a court shoe, meaning the shoe is small enough to pretty much ensure it doesn't fall off my foot when walking.

Not that I can walk in them.

I'm hoping these boots come up a bit more like a US10/UK8/EU41 than say a US9/UK7/EU40 - whatever it says on the sole. If they become available in the UK, I will ensure I'll find out.

There seem to be several much cheaper skinny/stretchy thigh boots on Ebay, Freddy.   These for example:   http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Womens-Over-The-Knee-Thigh-High-Stiletto-Heel-Ladies-Stretch-Calf-Boots-Size-3-8-/271692925404?var=&hash=item3f422909dc   http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ladys-Boots-High-Heel-Faux-Suede-Thigh-High-Zip-Stiletto-Navy-UK4-37-UK12-45-/151137177825?var=&hash=item23307a50e1   A better heel shape too.

I quite like suede; I have several pairs of black suede boots!
