I love these boots but but but ...

I'm outdoors a lot, don't do heels or ballet pumps or Converse (Converse don't don't fit me) and this type of boots are perfect.

But but but ... you have to wear them with skinny jeans right? And I have big thighs and bum and skinnies are really not ideal from that point of view. Am I missing something? Can I wear them with other shapes of jeans? Boots are chunky so bootleg jeans make it look as if I've got the world's fattest ankles.

In a word, help! (please!)

I am same shape but wear skinnies.a lot. It's all about balancing with layers and floaty shapes on top half to give impression your lower half is smaller. Or long v neck sweaters with scarf. Or tunic tops etc

Thank you,! that makes me feel better! I do like wearing skinny jeans with boots like this (wore them into the ground last year) but have also put on a fair bit of weight and am conscious of showing off my massive thighs and wobbly bum!

Try to create the shape of a capital A above your skinnies. I love those boots, have got the merrell Oslo which I wear with skinnies in winter and find that the look which works best is long v neck jumper, light wool scarf to elongate your shape and layers underneath depending on weather makes me look ok. Or so I think!!
