These (knee high) Boots were made for walking

January 24, 2010 Paris B 22 Comments

These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
~ Nancy Sinatra “These Boots Were Made for Walking”

Want fulfilled!

I’ve finally thrown caution and good rational sense out the window; and decided to go with my heart. I got my first pair of knee high boots in Hong Kong recently! 😀

Previously, I’d found 3 pairs of very affordable leather boots by Anne Klein, Cole Haan and Esprit respectively but each time, I ran up against the voice of reason : “Where will you wear it to? How can you wear it in hot tropical Malaysia?”

This time, I decided that it was now or never and hunted down a pair in Hong Kong. Fortunately it was winter in Hong Kong so knee high boots abound in varying prices. Honestly, if you are looking for a good pair of knee high boots or any boots for that matter in any height or material, Hong Kong is an awesome place to look. Prices vary depending on quality and make and you can get them quite affordably priced.

Mine came from Le Saunda – a local Hong Kong shoe chain I believe. There is a 2 inch broad heel and the boots come up to just under my knees without looking too baggy – another problem I used to run into. The top part of the boot is of soft leather and slightly slouchy and ruched so its easy to walk in without looking or feeling stiff-legged. Despite the height, I tramped all over Hong Kong for a full day in it and my legs did not die on me! Score!

I wore it with a dress and tights (as in the pic above) and with skinny jeans tucked in the next day – fun! 😀

Here’s a tip when buying boots

If you will be wearing them in cold weather, size up half a size or 1 size so you can wear them with socks. It makes it more comfortable to walk in if you are walking far and it also keeps your feet warmer. You will also find it easier to tuck your jeans in the top if you size up.

My boots cost something like HKD1,200 on sale. Expensive even by my standards but once I put them on, I couldn’t take them off so I just had to have it 😀 Like I said, you can easily get cheaper options but I went for the one I liked that fit me and made me look good 🙂

Now I need to start holidaying in cooler climates so I can pull out my lovely knee high boots again! I’d melt into nothing here in Malaysia though … unless regular trips to Cameron Highlands or Genting Highlands is an excuse 😉 What say you?

    If I have short leg, am I suitable to wear boots as well?

      Why not? If you wear them with pants or jeans they are tucked under your pant leg so it doesn’t show and it can elongate your legs too. 🙂

      Try the next time you’re in HK? I saw loads of girls wearing them so I guess its easier to find it there where there’s a demand 🙂

    FINALLY!!! I finally get to see ’em in action! They are fantastic! And I don’t think they’re too high at all. I love boots. As Tine has said, come by in fall and we’ll go gallivanting in our boots. Yep, skinny jeans tucked in boots, my favourite casual-chic look 🙂

      Incidentally I found skinny jeans that a) did not make me look fat and b) fit me so well without turning me blue in the face and c) were cheap. Damn I should have bought more!

    Those boots really do look gorgeous and I always think its worth spending a few pennies on a good pair of good quality boots. Those ones look really comfy too.

#mykiehls wraps their popular products in special packaging designed by Janine Rewell for the Holiday season. I love the scent of the lavender soap! It’s so strong! I’d keep it in my clothes drawer or cupboard to scent it though. It smells amazing!!
.
.
Also, Kiehl’s is taking a step towards being a sustainable brand by using fair trade and sustainable ingredients and packaging. Bring back 4 Kiehl’s product packaging to their stores and you’ll get a deluxe sample in return! Perfect for all #kiehls fans! .
. 
What’s your fave Kiehl’s product? I’m a bit out of touch with the brand to be honest. Didn’t realise quite a few new things have been released. In the past, I liked the Midnight Recovery Oil & the Powerful Line Recovery Concentrate serum. Good stuff! What’s yours? 😉
