Are we wearing long boots this winter or is it ankle boots all the way?

[Pinkfrocks]

A few years back no one would have been seen dead in ankle boots with skirts or dresses. Now it seems that ankle boots are de rigeur, whatever anyone is wearing.
Do knee length boots have a place at all, and are they 'out' over skinnies?

I don't like the plain ones tbh my dp wears those to work though so that might be it. The Marks ones are v nice they come in black too

Sorry, i dont like either of the Clarks ones....but thats only because they're just not me.

I am not keen on clarks in general but the loafers are lovely

manof - I like those clarks boots. I like dull, I don't do snazzy boots.

These are very me.

cointreau - I like those but don't like the colour of the soles.

And these nice for sunny Autumnal days.

I like the Clarks ones remus But they are a bit too high for everyday walking for me.

The pale ones would be the perfect replacement for my leaking Clarks boots if they were a more practical dark tan.

The Marks boots will be Pantomime Clown territory if you have small feet. I have tried in 100's of M&S boots and they always are.

Elephants you dyed yet?

Why shoe manufacturers have such a blank spot for the fact that tiny feet tend to have small ankles, even if your legs aren't thin higher up.

I'm only short and my DF is even shorter and we are fed up of boots that make us look like garden gnomes.

My calves are too big for knee boots and my legs are too short fot ankle boots.....

I hate footwear in the winter and live up North so its aleays cold. No idea what to wear!

I have small feet and skinny ankles and the marks ones are fine.

I also have small feet and skinny ankles - have to pick and choose but have a couple of Marks pars which are good.

No!

I love my long boots, I have black and brown and am already wearing them with stone coloured jeans.
I don't have and won't have ankle boots, and IMO, have never seen anyone who can pull them off with a skirt. Each to their own though. I have a pair of ankle shoes which are so difficult to match to an outfit that I have only ever worn them twice!!

I should add - wearing long boots over skinny stone jeans

I like wearing longer boots with a dress or skirt, and with skinnies I prefer ankle boots.

I am not a high fashion person, so this is probably completely not-now at all.

Never liked skinnies in long boots, it feels uncomfortable,and looks a bit uncomfortable too. Ankle boots with dress does not work for me (ankles too thin, boots look ridiculous and wide, unless I buy...legwarmers (?????!!!!! ought I?)

I have some ankle boots similar to this, all leather, though.

At my age -54- I only wear them with trousers, but they aren't so different to the sort I had as a student. In those days I used to wear them with short ie mini skirts too, but never with long skirts. Longer skirts only suit longer boots.

After a few years of ankle boots I'm being drawn more to knee length this year.

These in particular have got me drooling www.hush-uk.com/footwear/boots/tall_boot_taupe.htm

Long boots here. I have skinny legs, so the long boots seem to even me out a bit. I'd look daft in ankles. I've seen the odd person look fairly good in the ankle/dress combo, but seenu my fails also. I'm going to stick to what I know! Boring I guess!

I think if you're short knee boots somehow look better with tunics, dresses and skirts than ankle boots.

Any opinions on these?

I like them.

Me too. Would prefer in brown though.
