Over-The-Knee Boots: How To Do It
[ 24 November 2009 ]
Left: Pretty Woman. Right: Hussein Chalayan.
Over-the-knee boots are constantly going in & out of fashion, & have done since the time of pirates. Yarrr! They were daily-wear for pirates, who often turned the cuffs down, as well as crazy adventurers & buccaneers, who wore them as protection while they were riding & often hid things inside them. Like a treasure chest for the leg, to be sure, to be sure, yarrr! YARRR! Women started wearing them in secret too, because they wanted in on the fun, & would hide them under their long skirts.
The style comes & goes, & in the last couple of years, they have drifted back into style again. We’ve noticed them on the likes of Carine Roitfield & Victoria Beckham, & designers, who have the beadiest eyes of all, have not missed this. Now practically every shoe store has a pair in their front window, & we start to think, ‘Hmmm, I wonder how that would look on me’. But just putting them on takes stacks of confidence, & then, you think, as you stare at yourself in the mirror (& everyone in the shop gawps at you), ‘What the hell would I even wear these with, anyway?’.
My darling, I am here to help. Here is my guide to rocking the most fabulous trend of the season.
Questions for the quivery-kneed.
Can I really pull this off?
Remember that the over-the-knee boot is a STATEMENT. What the statement is, exactly, is up to you, but it is probably more along the lines of, “I am a powerful bellatrix & I am not to be trifled with” than “Here is your library card & a photocopied hand-out of the Dewey Decimal System”. Knawmean? This is not a shoe for the shrinking violet. If your legs are your least favourite attribute, or if cannot handle oodles of attention from men on the street (because believe me, you’ll get it), you should not purchase a pair. Stick to your Hush Puppies or whatever. But if you’re up for a challenge, & if you want to throw down the delicious, fetishy gauntlet, then these are for you.
I don’t really think my thighs are my best feature. Should I go for it anyway?
It all depends on how self-conscious you are. If a stranger’s swiftest glance at your gams sends you into a hyperventilating panic, perhaps you should give this one a miss. All is not lost, though — over-the-knee boots look best when worn with black opaque stockings, so it’s not like you’re really showing them off all that much. Super-secret-hint: ribbed stockings (where the lines run vertically up your leg) will give you a slimmed-down, long & lean-looking thigh without the hassle of going to the gym or giving up eating fried chicken sandwiches every second night!
Top: Chloe, Giuseppe Zanotti, Jimmy Choo, Versace, Michael Kors.
Bottom: Gucci, Stella McCartney, Kelsi Dagger, Halston, Prada, Juicy Couture.
Okay, I want to go for it. Should I buy a flat boot or one with a heel?
It really depends on what you’re most comfortable in & what you think you’ll get the most wear out of. I feel that a heel is always more flattering, especially when it comes to something like a high boot which can sometimes make even the leggiest lass look a bit… well… stumpy. But if you loathe wearing heels & wobble violently whenever you even think about a pair, flat boots are probably more your speed.
How high should the boot go?
I think a few centimetres over the knee is best. True thigh-high boots don’t give you a lot of room left over, & can look more like waders than sexy boots. But you know your style best. Try on a few different boots to find out what is most flattering for your body.
Should I go for leather or synthetic?
Leather boots are certainly more expensive, but if it’s in your budget (& fits with your morals), leather is the way to go. Why? Synthetic leather doesn’t breathe, it doesn’t sit as well against the skin (it can look kind of wrinkly & naff), & it’s less durable. Sometimes the colour will rub off or it will crack or split. It also looks cheaper, & because this is a look that can go wrong very easily, looking cheap is to be avoided!
This is not to say you cannot go synthetic; of course, you can. Just make sure you buy the best ones you find. It is worth shopping around (though really, this is true for everything).
If you decide to go for leather, here is a note about suede, because there are a lot of very attractive suede over-the-knee boots on the market. As beautiful as it is, & as wonderfully cosy as leather boots are in the winter, you need to be careful wearing suede boots in the rain. The occasional sprinkle of rain won’t ruin them (just be sure to put trees in them & let them dry out when you get home), but if they get soaked, you’ll be a very sad bunny. The dye in suede also runs like MAD when it gets wet, & it stains. You can Scotchgard your suede boots to protect them from the weather but still, use your common sense. While you are wearing them, don’t wash the car, drink too many cocktails beside a swimming pool, run a marathon during a tropical storm, etc.
PVC & patent leather boots should be avoided too, unless you are really, really, really sure you can pull it off. See: Pretty Woman.
Ugh, I tried on a pair & they don’t stay up when I walk around!
If they don’t stay up, don’t buy them! Realise that they may not be the right boots for you & continue with your search. Constantly tugging on the top of them will drive you bonkers, & if this is the case, know that there is no guaranteed way to keep them up. Liberal applications of Hollywood (or double-sided) tape will do the trick for a while, but even this is not a pinky-swear promise. Sometimes it won’t work. If the top of the boot is super-thin, you can attach suspender belt straps to them, but make sure the belt fits or your boots will just drag that down too! You see where I am going with this: ill-fitting over-the-knee boots will just create more problems than they are worth. If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing properly. Don’t half-ass this one.
As well as making sure they stay up, they should also fit your thigh properly. Think snug, but not so tight your thighs go all bulgy like an unfortunate shibari incident. If you’re swimming in them, it will either a) ruin the proportions you’re trying to go for, or b) make you look like a pirate. I know, I know, yarrrrrrrr, the history & all is cool, but is Anne Bonny really your style icon?
Okay, I bought some! Now, what do I wear with these suckers?
The truth is that the first image that comes to mind for pretty much everyone is Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, & as charming as she was, she is not the woman we’re hoping to emulate. The best way to avoid looking like you are a woman of the night is to go for contrast (otherwise known as not being too obvious) & not show everything off at once. Over-the-knee boots are all about legs, which means your outfit shouldn’t also be geared to showing off your midriff or cleavage. (This is a pretty basic rule of dressing — you don’t show everything at once, unless you are stuck in Las Vegas & have to turn tricks to get home again.)
Remember that when you put an outfit together, your shoes only convey part of the message — so what you wear them with counts.
Think about proportions. Your boots are long & fitted, so go bigger on top. How would it look if you added a slouchy sweater or a big coat cinched in at the waist? What about a long t-shirt or a radically cut a-line skirt? You could wear them over skinny jeans with an enormous scarf & a leather jacket, with an oversized cardigan or a jacket with structured shoulders.
You also don’t have to show the entire boot to make the most of them. If you think of them more as leggings or stockings, that can free you up hugely in terms of what you team with them. You could wear them with a 40’s style dress, a pencil skirt or a huge tulle petticoat to wonderful effect.
One of the easiest ways to make an outfit visually interesting is to play with proportions & put unexpected things together. Big with small, tough with luxe, vintage with new. Mix it up & see what you can come up with.
Here are some more ideas!
Zara.
The styling of these two images is delicious. It’s all about proportions. The look with the leather jacket is total perfection from start to finish. She’s wearing her boots over black skinny jeans & under an oversized white shirt, which is capped off with a short leather jacket. The jacket gives the outfit its shape, while the white shirt prevents it from looking too severe. Bravo.
The picture of the girl in the (faux?) fur jacket, cinched with a belt, & worn with black over-the-knee boots is just too yummy for me to even pontificate over. If I owned all the components of that outfit, you would be hard pressed to get me to wear anything else. Ever.
In my opinion, what saves these three looks from being trashy is that you’re not even really aware that the models are wearing over-the-knee boots. It’s like a fantastic leathery secret. They just look like they’re wearing fabulous stockings or skinny leather trousers. There is no flash of pale or mottled thigh & not a hint of fishnet. They look powerful, sexy & put-together.
The Hussein Chalayan look is from Fall 2006, & is a total winner. You could wear this outfit to work, after-work drinks, or even on a date with a bit of dazzling jewellery. It’s perfectly understated & just a little bit intimidating all at the same time.
I LOVE how Alice Burdeu (Australia’s Next Top Model winner!) looks in McQueen — totally makes me think of a headmistress at a strict-but-sexy (hey, it’s my imagination) Edwardian orphanage. So good. “No, Oliver! You may NOT have some more!”
I can’t say anything about the Givenchy look because I just drowned in my own drool. Sorry.
Flair Italia October 2009.
This is perhaps not a look to emulate, but I had to include it just because it’s quite brilliant. It might be a good one for the bedroom, though.
Carine (Editor-In-Chief of French Vogue) shows how it’s done. The sleek silhouette of the boots perfectly off-sets the size of the coat. Her outfit is so simple but it is completely genius — there are so few parts to it, but it works seamlessly & wonderfully. She could be wearing anything under that coat — a Garfield sweatshirt, a pair of sequinned hot pants, a bikini emblazoned with the American flag — but it doesn’t matter because the few pieces we can see are A++. & seriously, look at those boots. Oh, Margiela, you did us proud.
So, what do you think of the over-the-knee boot? Is it something you think you could see yourself wearing? I am totally mad about them, & have been schlepping from store to store trying to find The Perfect Pair. When I do, I’ll be sure to let you know.

Gala, I LOVE this article! I was just thinking about my favourite singer, Namie Amuro, and how she’s been rocking this trend for years and it’s only just come back into style.
I’ve been lusting after a pair of Christian Louboutin thigh-high boots myself….I know, dream on.
(L)!
I’ve been looking for the perfect pair of boots, and I really like knee/over-the-knee looks! Now that I live in a place where it snows, I’ve been kind of obsessed over finding them.
My biggest problems are:
a) I run some, so my thighs and calfs are a bit bulky; and
b) the reason I run is because I’m pretty overweight (I carry most of the weight in my stomach) – making them even bulkier!; and
c) I don’t wear heels much (I’m already really tall!), and I need a wide size b/c my forefoot is pretty wide.
Yeah, wide plus-sized calf flat over the knee boots = REALLY HARD TO FIND in the US. Apparently the UK figured out a while ago that all legs aren’t created equal and have various calf sizes for boots of all lengths…sigh.
I am not much of a dominatrix, but I’m trying to step out and GET noticed. That’s why I love the over-the-boots look!
[Caveat: I did wear some calf-high slouchy boots for halloween with a skirt that fell mid/lower thigh for Halloween (and some other very conservative clothes), and I got called a “slut” about 8 times on the way home. Not sure why…everyone else wasn’t wearing clothes at all! @_@ Am a little afraid of what will happen with over the knee boots, given that “situation”]
The boots look great on the models, but it’s hard to imagine them with real-life applications. I certainly can’t see a pair of over-the-knee boots in my life, unless they were those Hussein Chalayan ones & I had the coat from the first photo to pair with them! They’re gorgeous together.
Want! I love this trend :) I have pretty legs but ugly thights (but only near the crotch…they become thin right away!)..I love the over-the-knee socks trend too, and I have a pair, but I only wear them with opaque black thights underneath, just to feel less self conscious! If I ever buy a pair of these boots I’ll do that too ;)
The main problem for me, though, is that I doubt stores here will ever follow this trend. I live in Chile (is summer now, so obviously no one is selling boots haha), and women here tend to be veeery conservative about their clothes, so I’m not sure stores will risk putting this boots in their racks during the winter season. Maybe Zara, Mango or Guess will do…I really hope so!
Alix from “the cherry blossom girl” looks AMAZING in hers… (see www.thecherryblossomgirl.com/s…)
I, on the other hand, I’m probably to thighy in the thigh region (and too short to wear thigh high flats and am hopeless in heels post-broken-ankle). But that’s cool! I’ll just admire everyone elses…
You know, I’ve been thinking about getting over the knee boots myself after spying a pair at Topshop which looked comfy and I wasn’t sure how to do it… but your article pretty much summed up the approaches spot on! Bravo!
I think I’ll have to give it a go!
ahh. I tried on a pair the other day!
I hate my thighs but I hate my knees more – so anything that covers them is a god send!
They were the most beautiful soft dark brown leather just above the knee boots and they even fitted perfectly, but alas I looked at the price tag when I took them off and I simply cant afford £70! woeee :’(
Personally, I love them on other people but I’ve never been too keen on them for myself – possibly a little too OTT, even for me.
However, recently they’ve been coming back to my attention, and I sure do have the legs for them. It seems a shame to waste this good leggage :)
I saw a pair on Haute Macabre a couple of months ago that I can’t get out of my mind – they looked a LITTLE like the first pair on your rack up there, with the cross-over bits. But different. I don’t have a link sorry, but I will find it.
Some of my favorite singers – Simone Simons (Epica), Christina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil) and Sharon forget-her-last-name from Within Temptation wear them quite often, and they look hawt!
I love them!
I’ve been wearing over the knee boots for the last couple of years already and I find that they really suit my style. I’m tall though, that might be the reason why I pull it off.
I love wearing mine with only tights and a short dress or skirt, although they look good with jeans too, as long as they are tight.
I like dark brown leather best. My cat chewed on my favorite pair recently though, so I have to get another pair. The good thing about these boots being fashionable is that there are more choices! The bad thing? everyone else wears them.. and everyone will think I’m out of style when they go out of fashion and I still wear my favorites… ;)
I giggled when I saw your article because right at this second, I’m wearing over-the-knee boots. I love them so much! They are my go to dressy shoe, but I love wearing them over skinny jeans. Thanks for more ideas!
I think I may need a pair of these now, haha!
Thanks so much, it was a great article!
You know who looked FRIGGING fantastic in hers? Jordy from Clutch-22.
Photo here: www.clutch22.com/2009/11/17/am…
I love the long top and the leggings and hers are Jeffrey Campbell. I so want to try this look after seeing what she did with the boots!
I only recently started wearing knee-high boots. I don’t know if I’m ready for the over-the-knee transition yet, haha. I do love this style, though. I think some people can really pull it off well.
Just mentioning that I think that if you do get heeled boots, you should be skilled walking in heels. If you happen to fall the injury could be worse in a thigh high than in a pump because it can restrict the body from going a certain way….
Plus flats make one look like such a bad ass pirate. =]
High street shops and dodgy Camden fetish outlets seem filled with cheap nasty plasticky versions of these right now
But when you see a serious, quality pair, worn with a the right outfit (I vote leggings or skinny jeans + classic trench coat) it looks dead set fuckin awesome
im not convinced they look good on anyone! it for me is just the shape, you hav to walk in them so the have to funnel out abt at the top. i don’t like this silhouette at all!
Personally, I’m not a fan of this style of boot … however, I am feling slightly swayed after reading this article, as some of the looks are actually pretty cute. I always figured over-the-knee boots were something for the super-duper fierce & fashion-forward, and while I love fashion and do like to experiment, my wardrobe tends to veer towards the uber-girly, slightly librarian-esque look (with lots of 1950s prom-shaped dresses and flarey high-waisted skirts and whatnot) so I figured these boots just weren’t for me … but looking at the McQueen outfit and how good they look with that dress … I am slightly coveting a pair. They really aren’t all “look at me!” as I had first thought – like you said, in some of the photos they are hardly noticible, which is cute. So thankyou for the ideas and the inspiration, maybe this look isn’t a total write-off for me … but in the meantime, there is nothing wrong with comfy Hush Puppies and I shall be wearing mine with pride :D
I want every single pair in the bottom part of the photo with all the boots in it….totally lusting for the Gucci and Stella McCartney boots….
I recently bought a pair of knee-high boots that I loooooove, I wore them the first night I got them and that’s all I’ve wanted to wear out lately. Paired with skinny jeans, I’ve never felt so daring and sexy.
Can’t wait to try the over-the-knee boots!! :D
I love over-the-knee thigh-high boots, and I bought myself a nice pair over the summer in zebra print. I don’t wear them as much as I’d like, since it’s a little hard to walk in them, but hey, they were on sale and they look great! It’s not even the heel that bothers me, it’s the fact that I can’t bend my knees as much. I guess it the material isn’t all that flexible.
I do want to say, though, I would most definitely rock that Flair Italia look as well as the patent leather boots look. Regardless of what’s considered “appropriate”, I like to stand out quite a bit!
“Stick to your Hush Puppies or whatever.”
Wow, so it’s either over the knee heeled boots or frump? Nice, Gala.
Oh how i wish i could wear these. I beleive my legs are my best feature, but i am only 5’2’‘ so i’m sure it would over whelm me. =( it looks lovely on those models though.
I think I’ll save this trend for the ladies with amazing thighs. Me & my (non hush puppies) shoes w/ knee high socks will do fine
Those boots are delicious, and if someone calls you a slut? They’re obviously stuck in the ’20s and I say, ignore them and flaunt your fabulous self.
But Gala, I have to know, what are your personal feelings about leather and fur? Feel free to email me if you don’t want to set off one of those icky comment cat fights. :)
“‘Stick to your Hush Puppies or whatever.’
Wow, so it’s either over the knee heeled boots or frump? Nice, Gala.”
Aww, felt the same way when I read that :[
Actually, it turns out green Converse get a lot more attention with my party outfits than any other shoe and fit my spontaneous lifestyle loads better ;]
I have a nice pair of Chinese Laundry over the knee suede boots. I wore them all the time last winter and I felt really confident. I often wore them with leggings/dresses/tights & skirts. I wore them so often that I wore out this little elastic panel they had at the top of the back of them to keep them up and now I have to get them repaired. I am also mysteriously missing just one of them. :(
Also, I’m almost certain Gala didn’t mean any harm with the hush puppies comment. She obviously doesn’t only wear over the knee heeled boots.
This is a marvellous article! I’ve been thinking of getting some new boots for the ol’ chilly months we’re up against (My faithful cowboy boots have developed holes -sob!) so I shall definitely keep my eyes out for some of these!
It’s nice to actually get a thoughtful and comprehensive guide to consumerism rather than an advertisement in your face. Thanks Gala!I’ve always been afraid that over-the-knee boots would basically be crotchless pants on me because my legs are so short :P but if I wear them as leggings that wouldn’t be a problem at all! Can’t figure out why I didn’t think of that. duh moment
Love this article! I have question though— someone else sort of mentioned this in a comment above, but if you are short (as in 5’2), do you think this style would look silly? My torso is pretty proportionate to my legs, so I’m thinking these boots may not look so bad on me personally, but I’m still a little hesistant to try the trend because of my height. What do you think?
Love this, gala – I’ve really missed your informative posts! Your how-tos etc are the best part of your blog and the reason I follow you. :)
I love over the knee boots so much, Alix does a wonderful job of styling them at her blog www.thecherryblossomgirl.com
I’ve been ogling this trend all season, but haven’t been quite sure how to work it. Thanks for the education!
This made me SO HAPPY. I have been admiring over-the-knee’s at a distance for SO LONG & now I feel like (come winter in New Zealand, of course!) I could totally get away with them. :)
I went ferreting off and wrote a post on over-the-knee styles I love so thank you for the inspiration!
HAHAHAHA,
it’s safe to say that most of those “knee high’s” would, on me, undoubtedly be thigh-highs.
yes, the majority those boots would indeed consume my short pins.
oh well!
ankle boots i love you.
This comes at a fantastic time!
I’ve been having this debate over and over in my head over the past week. Should I, shouldn’t I?
I’ve seen a fantastic pair at Faith (and in my size!). But a couple of problems have sprung up, fogging my decision.
1. I’m tall. Now most people have just said, “Go for it! Tall people can pull them off!” But my worry is to do with the heel situation. I strongly agree that they just look daft without a heel, but with a heel I’m going to be over 6ft and possibly quite lanky, as opposed to sexy…
And 2. What to wear with them. You’re ideas are fantasitc but I feel like my style is devleloping in a huge way right now and would I even wear these? I’d hope so but it’s hard to say…
Thank you for the fantastic article Gala. You’ve sent my gears turning again!!
i do love these quite a lot! but unfortunally i’m such a short arse and they end up making me look even shorter
I just bought myself a pair which are
a) suede
b) loose at the top
c) not high enough
...but….
d) nonetheless FABULOUS!
I will still have to figure out a good way of making them stay up, and once I do I’ll be sure to let you know. As for the hight… maybe it’s jut good that I’m not taking it to stripper proportions.
Also: A look I love with Over the knees: Wearing them with really girly/innocent looking tea dresses and a leather biker jacket. Naughty but nice?
I don’t like over the knee boots and I can’t no matter how hard I try. However, I admit the girl in the last photo of this entry nailed it perfectly haha, so I guess I have to eat my words.
Dear shorties (!!!),
Have you tried on a pair that hits just over the knee & has an epic heel on it? I bet you won’t feel so short then…
Dear tallies (um, you know what I mean, Amy I am looking at you),
You should just go for it. Regardless of what shoe you wear, you are always going to be tall, & whether you look sexy or lanky is all in the attitude & how comfortable you are in your skin. Seriously.
xoxo
Gala! I have missed you for the last couple of days! I was so happy to see you there in my in box this morning BIG YAY! Also I too am a shorty, 5ft. 2in. I feel that those sexy boots may make me look short and stumpy and I don’t wear leather. I am having a problem finding straight leg jeans or pants that fit me correctly! Love you tons Lissa
“If I owned all the components of that outfit, you would be hard pressed to get me to wear anything else. Ever.”
oh, my gosh, EXACTLY what I thought looking at that Zara ensemble. I DIIIIIIIIE.
(but wait a sec…we both have Zaras where we live…perhaps we can make this happen. and NEVER WEAR ANYTHING ELSE. EVER.)
Haha, very true Gala! I was out shopping today and thoughtout the day I decided I’m just going to have to go for it.
I’ll keep you updated!
Thanks for the post!! I just purchased a pair of over-the-knee boots, which is quite unlikely for me as I could easily fall in the ‘shrinking violet’ category (fashion-wise, that is), & I actually can’t wait to wear them! Mine are flat & black, & to be honest I think they do a great job in making my legs look leaner & longer! Loved the outfit ideas!
I’m having trouble commenting on this article, but I want to say I LOVE it!!
i bought a pair of otk boots last winter and i love them! even though i’m a heels girl, i opted for a flat pair, i just think they de-trash-ify the look of them, and make them more versatile to wear with casual pieces. if i could ever afford those hussein or margiela boots though, you can bet they’ll be in my wardrobe!
Love this trend. Modcloth recently listed a pair that is red suede, and I immediately wanted to get them, but Im a bit worried about making such a bright statement with them, as the consensus seems to be to stick to black or tones that blend in to avoid the hooker look.
I LOVE the over-the-knee boot (and the ideas on how to wear them in this article!), and I desperately want a pair… but I have yet to find a nice, affordable vegan pair. And oh, I have searched. Does anyone know of any?
i LOVE this article! love seeing more fashion/daily outfit/how-to-wear-... articles
I’m properly in love with my over the knee boots :D I got a flat leather pair with some studs round the heel from river island a few months back for winter and they’ve hardly been off my feet since. Even better not seen a pair I like more yet.
Hey Gala, I know you’ve gone vegan and promoted animal-friendly lifestyles in the past. That being said, will you ever create a fashion how-to for styling shoes and clothing free of animal cruelty or references to animal cruelty? I’m sure many of your readers would really love it.
L — I’ve never really thought about it! It’s a very good idea… I’ll see what I can come up with :>
shiekh shoes has a nice variety pretty cheap, pretty nice quality thigh high boots up for sale

Gala, I loved your article and posted it on my new blog which is dedicated to BOOTS! I was going to write an article discussing how to wear them but then I came across your blog and just linked to your article.
I enjoyed reading the posts with different reactions to OTK boots, like shorter people thinking they were too short to rock them, and tall people not wanting to wear heels, and women with larger calves or thighs. Wow, this is definitely a trend that has women focusing on their bodies.
I have seen enough to think that any woman can make the OTK work if they buy the right pair and pair it with the right outfit.
For shorter women, I’d say go near thigh-high, pair with black or darkly colored tights and then a top—this will make your legs look long and lean. But stay away from the boots over blue-jeans or lighter pants/leggings as that breaks up the line.
Wider thighs—I think it was already mentioned, try just over the knee and again, dark pants or leggings.
I really like the long T-shirt, with blazer, or mini dress with either no tights, or tights with the OTK boots.
Thanks Gala for the informative and entertaining article!

Over the Knee Boots are our fave, but they’re so expensive!! Saw this article on I’m Not Obsessed this pair is hot and only 70 bucks!

Gala,
I have noticed that all the posts here are from women and I am married and want to buy some OTK Boots for my wife but I am not sure if she would wear them. I think these would look great with some of the sweater dresses she has. I have always told her don’t worry about what other people think, a lot of times people will make comments behind your back or under their breath because they are jealous or wish they had the confidence to come out of their shell and try something new. My wife is 5’8” and has nice legs. Do you think I should just go for it and buy them and maybe she will wear them because I bought them for her or do you think she still won’t wear them? I think she would not buy them because she would feel that she would look like a lady of the night. I have heard her say before when she thinks of OTK Boots she thinks of Pretty Woman (She loves that movie by the way and Julia Roberts is her favorite Actress). My thought is if I buy them she might go ahead and wear them because I like her in them.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
Hi Brian! It might be hard to know what her size is, but what you could do is sneak one of her shoes to a store & buy her a pair that is about the same size. Just keep the receipt & if they don’t fit or she decides they’re not for her, she can take them back. I think you should totally do it! She will be delighted. Let me know how it goes! xo.
cool article, made me giggle a little =) I like the swashbuckling aspect of this particular boot but I really dislike it when writers say ‘shrinking violets- stay way!’ its not very empowering.
what with this 90’s trip, julia almost doesn’t look that out of place.
It’s a wonderful shoes,i love giuseppe zanottishoes,how nice
they are.the giuseppe zanotti Shoes is many women love. it can attract
men sight, and make women feel more confidence,i always dream to have
a pair of giuseppe zanotti Shoes.
