Tall boots

[pagas]

These are fitting really weird, is it possible to get tall boots to look good with jeans when you have big legs?

The bunching up around the ankles is what is bothering me. @booby

I don't like those with those jeans.


You need to wear jeggings - as tight around the legs as you can.

Those are AE jeggings, I have nothing tighter.

Jeggings are the only "jean" that work under boots, IMO.

I Only have one pair of AE jeggings that are tight/thin enough to wear under boots. My other AE jeggings are not the right fabric.

Don't hate me, but you need longer shins for those boots. I don't think it's a jeans or "big leg" issue.

Yeah. They don't look good. Did you look for wide calf boots?

[Moe]

I don't like those with the jeans you're currently wearing.

[Muddled]

Too much shaft.

Teehee.

Maybe go with a wide calf.

I twist the hem of the jean/jegging around my ankle to it tightens around my calves. Then I pull my socks over the jeans to kind of "hold them". I hope this makes sense- it's hard to describe.

My calf isn't wide, my thigh/knee area is fat.

I think they're too tall.

fwiw - those boots don't look like they'd work with leggings either. and they don't look like they'd work with on someone with a skinnier knee (lol @ this - are you kidding me with the 'fat knee' thing?)

I have fat thighs that pool over my knees.  It's why the 50/50 boots work so well for me, they go over the knee and reign in the fat.  Like boot spanx.

I think they are too tall. Are they hitting your knee caps?

They are.  #shortshins

I have a hard time believing you have big thighs! You look amazing! Those boots just aren't working. I'll echo everyone else that they're too tall

I paid $187 when they were on sale and Nordstrom price matched.

Ok. Those over the knee boots are not...over your knee. Hence the bunching. I would return and look for a new pair.

Holy shit!! I want them for $187.

It's the boot, the shat is to tall for your leg.

[janegold]

I also suffer from fat knees. You need either a shorter shaft boot that sits right below your knee or a boot with a wider opening at the top that can fit over your knee better. It's sort of annoying because most wide calf boots are too wide for me but a lot of regular boots don't open wide enough on the top for my fat knees.

I have only found one over the knee boot brand that works for me(my thighs also pool over knees I thought I was alone on that!) and they are by Joes Jeans. The elastic panel is placed just where I need it and they seem to not slouch or crease. I've also mentioned them before, but Poppy Barley custom makes them to your leg/ankle and they fit like a glove. I do their shoes but haven't checked if they have over the knee boots.

[kittyb]

This pair of boots scuffs fairly easily. For that price point, I would keep looking.

I had this issue. My calves are too big for most regular boots and too small for most wide calf. I went crazy boot shopping this fall & ended up getting two pair of cheapest from ON that I swear fit perfect. I got black & brown. The black pass for real leather, the brown look faker, but I only wear them once in a while so it's not awful.


Plus I got both pair for less than half of what I paid for the other pairs I returned to Macys and Nordies
