Tall or Short Joan of Arctic?

Assume that the price is the same. I am 5'11", plus size. I have thick thighs and butt, but a smaller stomach area and waist. If that helps with which might be better for my body type.

I am not self-conscious of my calves and have a couple of riding boots already. I have 1 short boot in black. I have nothing that compares to the above boot in either style.

Have you ever tried on or worn the JOA? I ask because they are some of the heaviest boots Sorel makes. Awesome and very functional but if it's just for fashion I would say the weight could be prohibitive. That alone would sway me to the shorter pair.

Hmm.. Something to consider. I have another pair of Sorels that I adore, so that's why I wanted to get another that I could wear at work (office setting) and still have dry feet.

Knowing nothing of the brand I was leaning toward the shorter. Now that we know they're heavy, definitely shorter. They're really cool looking!

They aren't lined. Also when it is below zero before windchill -- I never feel warm.

I think the tall ones would probably look super cute on a skinny leg, but maybe not so much on a thick one.

I'd get the shorter pair. It looks like the wedges are meant to be more versatile than the regular Joan of Arctics, so I wouldn't worry about them being too warm.

Short!
