thoughts on this boot?
Permalink Closed

I have problems finding boots slim enough for my bird leg calves.  Yesterday  I was walking through Dillards and I spied these.  I like them very much, but the only thing that concerns me a little is the lacing up the back at the bottom.  It's cute, but do you think it looks too "lady of the evening-ish (to put it tactfully)?  Here they are in black (which I would need), but they also come in eggplant.  Here is alink to the page is you want better details:   http://www.amazon.com/BCBGirls-Womens-Easton-Knee-High-Boot/dp/B003EV77J4

I like them. Not lady of the night to me...I personally prefer eggplant.

I don't think they evoke "lady of the evening," but I don't like the bow. Otherwise I love the shape and style.

Since the lacing doesn't go all the way up, I think you're cleared from looking like a lady of the evening. Just, of course, make sure they're comfortable. good luck w/the calf issue. I deal with it too.

I know what you mean about finding boots for slim legs. I think those boots look fine. I'm not in love with the idea of laces on boots (front or back) but that's just my personal preference. They don't look hooker-ish to me at all. I think the shape is very sleek.

I'm not a fan of stretch uppers because it usually looks cheap to me. But if you've seen them IRL, and you like them, then they're worth a try.

Ditto.  The lacing combined with the zig zag stitch and stretch PVC is not reading "classic" to me.  If I were you, I'd troll some forums seeking narrow calf boots or measure yourself and just seek out books with a smaller circumference.

I like the lacing - I think it's just enough to be interesting!

Thanks everyone. I saw the black and they are really pretty, but I am really interested to see the eggplant.
