knee-high boots, help please!

lalalone · 01-17-2008, 08:29 PM

I'm not bragging or anything, but I have longer legs than most girls, so when I try to find boots that actually come up to my knees, they don't exist. Most of the boots I found that are supposed to go up to the knees actually end like three inches BELOW my knees.

I talked to tons of salespeople at almost every shoe store, and all of them have said that the average girl that the shoe manufacturers make shoes for are only about 5'3-5'4, and while I'm actually only 5'6, my legs appear to be slightly longer. Those long uggs that reach some girls' knees are also about 3 inches below mine.

Anybody know where I can get boots that go UP to my knees???

www.refusetobeusual.com a ebay shopper... they sell converse knee high but some of them are thigh high so they might end up to ur knees...

i'm almost as tall as you and i think the boots are not a problem for me. i think it's cuz the boots are longer when u get bigger sizes. normally girls who are 5"3-5"4 dont wear size 9 or 10 =_=. IMO I'd rather have it just below the knee cuz I think if they hit right on the knee it'd be quite uncomfortable and hard to walk.

I usually wear a 9 in boots. This is kind of trivial to worry about, but I think it looks weird to have that extra bit of calf showing...

I think it looks fine on me because if the boots cover all the way to the knees then it could make ur legs look shorter?

I understand ur pain! Try ordering online off zappos, they have a huge selection of knigh high and above boots.

Have you tried Gia? They have a bucn of boots. Why not Winners as well?

lalalone · 01-19-2008, 12:15 AM

I like to see the shoes on my legs in person though, so I don't usually buy clothes off the internet. But that's a good idea, there's way more variety online.

myalicious · 01-19-2008, 04:06 PM

yeah i understand, but zappos gives you height measurements of all the boots (brand names) so you can figure out which ones are highest and then look at local stores :)
