K Dukes’ comment about the practicality of these boots cracked me up. Although I’m not particularly crazy about the boots, I always appreciate some good rationalization. (I also like tall boots, and the hidden toughness of a lug sole, but I think this model needs a little more meat on her calves to pull off this look.)
I also really like Garance’s post today – do you get Vogue? I think this line epitomizes what I imagine my perfect wardrobe might look like “The masculine wardrobe, the relaxed femininity…”

Yeah, I gotta say, I don’t like these boots at all. I keep seeing knee high boots around with the jeans tucked into them and each time I see it I think to myself – do I like it? and the answer is always no. I think I like the idea of it because its tied to the notion of riding horses, but unless these ladies are actually riding horses they just look outdated to me. I have sworn to myself – I will not be wearing knee high boots with my pant legs tucked in. However, calf length boots are a whole other story.
