Anyone see these Ann Taylor boots IRL?

I'm really sorry, but....riding boots IMHO should be limited to their intended purpose......riding horses. Boots with flat heels do NOTHING to flatter your legs. Heels, pumps, sandals and yes boots that have 2 to 4" heels make your les look great!

I haven't seen those IRL, but I really like them. I also have huge calves (but tiny ankles) so I have a hard time with boots.

And my boyfriend hates heels, he says they creep him out.

Christine · Coach

I think many pairs of riding boots can be flattering.

Sorry, Dot, I haven't seen them in the store yet.

Sorry, i haven't seen them in real life, but i think they are cute. I know what you mean about the calf issue. It's worth a shot. Would you order them online or do you know if they are in the store?

I don't think they're in the store yet (was just there yesterday), but I love riding boots and think they are cute.

I think flat boots can look great with a ton of looks. I saw these in person in the store yesterday or two days ago and didn't think that the look of the leather seemed that great. I might wait until they go on sale, but sometimes I'm tempted to go to E. Vogel and get a pair of custom ones!

Well, when you wear boots you can't see the legs. A lot of flat boots were seen on the fashion runways for fall.
