Knee high to a grasshopper

As I may have mentioned before I do love a knee high boot, but they are one of those items that if you get it right you have a fashion safety net, until the soles fall off.  If you get it wrong, well they can also be used as very attractive door stops.  I happen to know someone not too far away from me who owns 9 pairs of black knee high boots, this is a somewhat recent revelation - I find that my friends do tend to drip feed me their fashion secrets (honestly you'd think I was critical).  Her excuse was that they all have different heel heights and styles, blah, blah-di-blah.  The truth is she only wears 2 of the pairs but the other 7, were experiments on the path to perfection, which is understandable on so many levels.  As shoes are a very tricky purchase.

You have about one more week of good quality sale purchases still to make, so now is the time to set yourself up with this fashion gold, because they are expensive there is no denying that fact.  As a result a discount makes them extra shiny and now that the crowds have ebbed you'll have the elbow room to try on a few pairs to get the right ones for you.

My main words of advice are:-
1.  Please don't forget that all girls look better with ankles, so avoid the grande slouchy ones unless you are whippet thin.
2.  Knee high boots are not attractive if they make your legs look like straws in a glass.
3.  Leather does stretch so if you've got an inch to go on that zip as long as you are prepared to put the work in they'll fit perfectly.  If you aren't prepared to put the work in find a Cobbler with a stretching machine to put the work in for you.
4.  Decide whether you want them most to go over skinny jeans or tights as this will affect which you should buy, and the look you will achieve, I'd recommend the skinny jean option for most people as putting less in a boot is easy.
5.  Be prepared to do the miles, all shoes are uncomfortable to start, the reason your most comfortable shoes are that comfortable is because you wear them the most, so they have formed to your foot.  It's a good tip for all new shoes, commit to wearing them in short bursts in order to get them where they need to be.  Think of it like dating you wouldn't meet a man and immediately book a week away you need to get used to each other first.

The fact is that women in knee high boots get attention, they cause a stir.  Why shouldn't you too?
