I am saddened to see so many women place a taboo on wearing thigh high or crotch boots. I can bet you that most men would love to see their ladies in a pair out on the town under their arm just to see the sheer strength and power their women posess in front of others not afraid of what the moral majority might think. I find them very attractive and don't look down on a woman as a wh*re or prostitute just because she wears them. I think of her as a very sexy woman who is not afraid to show off her assets especially for that special someone who can get very turned on by this. I encourage more women to wear them and only wish I could find another with this bravery before I get old and gray. I know this will probably upset a lot of you but I just wanted to have my say and hopefully encourage a move in the other direction for a change. I would be very proud of the woman who posessed this strength.

I love those so much

 

[PrinceOfCats]

I wish they made men's OTK boots in suede Balenciaga style...

 

[oceanharlot]

love them... god you MUST have perfect legs to wear those and feel confident.

i think that it's a very metropolitan look. i mean i don't even think this even became a trend in much of the country. i have seen over the knee boots work so fantistically in night time settings. for day, i would def. say long skirts or even worn over pants...but these boots really stand out at night. if you've got legs long enough to support a sky high skirt and a pair of otk boots without looking hookerish then i say go for it. i've seen it mostly with sheer dresses that are actually quite long but sheer from the waist down or sparkling, etc.

Are those boots, or are they some kind of thich-high gaiters that fit over a pair of shoes?

I agree they are bizarre, and not in a pleasing way. I think the contrast between the shoe and the leg-covering is not that nice, plus it just looks wretched with the diaphanous, tattered blue dress (of which I am not fond, either).

That dress was made for silver gladiator sandals, I think. Those boots(?) would go better with a more substantial outfit, and would look much better if they weren't a two-tone.

Didnt Chanel come out with boot-pants last year? Although I know of a german company that will custom make a pair for 1/10th the cost, they are still around $700-7000.. depending on what you have done.
Here is an example..

It is an interesting look at least. Definatly makes a statement.

Those boot pants look great starting with a boot and continuing all the way to the waist. You are right though about them being expensive. It would be nice to have a pair for my girlfriend/lover but I guess we will have to stick to thigh and crotch boots. I wonder if they make a catsuit with boots conected?

Yeah but if you're British - like me, thigh high boots are not so much a sexual taboo - more that you might be accused of being the Principle Boy in a pantomime.



For those of you that don't know what a pantomime is - its a kind of play popular at xmas time in the UK

heres a definition

1. The plot is loosely based on a well-known fairy or folk tale, BUT is less about telling the story than an excuse for humor--from slapstick to political/social satire to double-entenres.

2. One of the conventions is that the male lead character (and perhaps one of the male supporting characters) is played by a woman and at least one of the female characters will be played by a man (called a 'dame role.)

Sometimes the Dame will be a villainess (like the Wicked Queen in 'Snow White'), in which case the player's masculinity will make her more grotesque and menacing; if she's a 'good' character (like the Fairy Godmother in 'Cinderella'), the 'gender bending' will be played for laughs.

The male character/female player's costume will have hose instead of trousers. (and often thigh length boots)

3. There will be lots of songs. Frequently they will be well known tunes (pop tunes, folk songs, perhaps even hymns) with new (and usually funny, or at least silly) words to them.

4. Sometimes there will be cameo appearances by celebrities.

Hope this helps.


The Principle Boy (always played by a woman) often involves the wearing of thigh length boots and a lot of thigh slapping. Wear boots like this in the UK and don't be surprised if you see people slapping their thighs when they see you.
