    Hi all,

    I'm 28 years of age, and i've got a good figure. I'm considering getting a new pair of knee-high boots, stilletto or otherwise, but i don't know which look to go for?

    What type of boots do you girls wear? and what would you recommend?
    Black leather, Brown, high heeled?

    I'm looking for stylish boots? :confused:

    It's the weekend when most people are out and about so you shouldn't expect a quick response. If your looking for something sexy then you simply can't beat a pair of knee high black leather stiletto boots.

    They can be as cheap or as expensive as you want them to be but the more you spend generally the better the workmanship. Barratts have a good selection that are relatively inexpensive around the €100 mark but have a look at Buffalo who do some fantastic designs but you can expect to pay around €200.

    I love Carl Scarpa's boots and shoes too :D. They are expensive, but worthy every penny :D

    Considering the look you want then stilletoe heels ,black ,with buttons,or buckles maybe or try some of the just over the knee height boots .How much to spend or what shop its your choice, one very good pair or perhaps 2 pairs from another price range.
    Obviously the boots only play a certain amount of the image created the rest is on what is put together with them & how the full effect looks.
    This climate & time of year should see lots of choice in the shops & on the streets to give you some ideas.

    (i like the bow thing at the back cos most boots dont fit my calfs but these do :) )
    oh and another great shop for shoes and boots is buffalo - there's one upstairs in awear and they have a website. all made of leather and not that expensive for the quality you get!

    I think that you can never go wrong with a nice pair of tan boots such as these; http://xml.riverisland.com/flash/content.php. Riverisland have a great selection of really stylish boots so you might want to check them out. In general though, tan boots can go with most colours including black if you match them right and they don't really go out of fashion.

    I just got black round toe hush puppies- they are really nice & also very comfortable!!
    They have a nice high heel too .

    As i say, i'm looking for the sexier look, as i have a good figure.

    Some of my female friends have said i should wear tight black ski-pants with a large belt, with these stilletto boots?

    What do you girls think?...or have any of you worn ski-pants with boots before?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19 Jessica4


    Any of you girls, gone for the tight black ski-pants, with black leather stilletto boots?
    :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,266 ✭✭✭MysticalSoul


    If I had the figure I would, but I have curves :pac:

    Oh okay.;)

    Have any other girls on here gone for the ski-pants/stilletto boots look?
    :confused:

    Skintight jeans/leggings with stilettos isn't a very nice look. In fact stiletto boots aren't great in general, as they can look cheap, no matter how expensive the brand.

    I just came back from 6 months living in Belgium where most of the women started wearing knee-high boots once winter set in. In most cases, they wore low-heeled, flat or small-wedge boots, in black or tan leather.

    Go for a classic boot in black or tan and you'll be rocking them for years.

    Gotta disagree with this. The missus has a pair of boots from Aldo and looks absolutley amazing when wearing them with skin tight jeans. Cheapness lies in the wearer, not in what's being worn IMO.

    Stiletto boots are a classic look, unquestionably sexy but that's not necessarily a bad thing, depending on the wearer. It doesn't always imply prostitution or shabby morals,etc automatically, it's very possible for a woman to look drop dead amazing without descending into the realms of white trash.

    I have to agree with the good Doctor. To say that stiletto boots and jeans is a cheap/trashy look is a cheap shot. On the 'right' woman it can look simply amazing, elegant and sexy.

    nah, I agree with this! stiletto boots normally do look cheap! flat over the knees slouchy boots are the way to go, and they get the thumbs up for the comfort factor!

    I think that the over the knee cavelry boots look really good
