kareidI've long had a desire for a pair of really nice looking tall leather boots. For years I though this was too girly, but sometime during the peak of my knees problems, I promised myself that if my knees ever got better, I'd get them. Well, my knees are headed towards better, but I'm finding it hard to find the exact boots I'm looking for.
I want calf high, black, stacked (not stiletto) heels, no more than about 1-2" high, and a simple design. Something like these is pretty close. I think the style is usually called a riding boot. Unfortunately, three stores and many websites later, I haven't found anything that fits me the way I want. I have small calves, and apparently the fashion right now is for looser boots that you can tuck your pants into, so all the boots I've tried are far too loose on me. I'm starting to wonder if I should give in and get a pair of ankle boots this year and wait until next year to look for tall boots, in the hope the styles will have changed.
