Knee-high boots - what are the rules for work?

[Otterbunting]

I'm thinking of investing in my first pair of knee high boots, but am nervous about them being work appropriate!
Are these suitable, e.g. with an almost-knee-length skirt? I imagine I could also wear them with a miniskirt out of work

I wear knee high boots - they are perfectly acceptable in my office - but I am a little more thoughtful as to what I wear them with at work. I wear little ankle boots/heels to work mostly.

Plus, the ones you have linked are on the more demure side anyway due to the block heel so I'm sure they will be fine anywhere.

I love boots in general though - but I'm a high heel fan due to being small.

I suppose it depends on your job if you need to wear safety/branded shoes, but for normal office jobs, women of all ages have worn them since I first started work. Don't really see the difference, warmth aside, but many people wouldn't be comfortable with short skirts/bare legs. Approx knee length and with or without tights shouldn't bother anyone, even if you have a conservative code.

They're fine. I have a long calf/leg can never get them to meet my knee! 🙄Prefer flat or very low heel too. Unicorn boots!

Princess Anne is a huge fan of knee high boots, wears them to all kinds of engagements. They're very common at my workplace (accountant) although sometimes I get fed up wearing them all day sitting at a desk, and keep more comfortable shoes at the office to change into.

I disagree, there is a huge difference in over the knee boots and the thigh high boots you’re talking about.

Over the knee ones look a bit puss-in-boots but just under the knee are fine and stylish (maybe not with a too high heel though).
