I never love the way they look on me though. I'm pretty tall (just under 5'8) so I don't usually worry about how long my legs look. But the boots I have hit right at the calf, which isn't that great a look for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots/page/2#post-2291615 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 14:03:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 2291615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I'm interested to see the next part with jeans! My goal is to wear them with skinny jeans and leggings. But I like the slightly taller shaft ones anyway- hopefully it still works since I'm fairly tall. Also pregnant so who gives, but I want them to work after too. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots/page/2#post-2291612 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 13:58:50 +0000 snowjewelz 2291612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: yeah so those toms wedges are perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots/page/2#post-2291609 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 13:57:33 +0000 ShootingStar 2291609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I love that blogger. I think what I've learned is that you should show as much ankle as possible if you want to elongate your legs. I just ordered some more no show socks today so I don't look silly with my boots and some new sneakers I got, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots/page/2#post-2291455 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 12:13:29 +0000 snowjewelz 2291455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my fav blogger just posted about how to wear ankle boots!</p> <p><a href="http://www.puttingmetogether.com/2015/09/choosing-right-pair-of-ankle-boots.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.puttingmetogether.com/2015/09/choosing-right-pair-of-ankle-boots.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots/page/2#post-2291214 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 09:27:32 +0000 snowjewelz 2291214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: Cute!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots/page/2#post-2290997 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 03:16:43 +0000 erinpye 2290997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them! I have the Petty style by Sam Edleman. I'm tall though, but I would never think shorter girls can't pull them off! The pointed toe is enlongating! </p> [attach=1491/15/nuplnv.331x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots#post-2290831 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 19:32:08 +0000 jh524 2290831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: great choice ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots#post-2290701 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 15:40:43 +0000 snowjewelz 2290701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: I think the tan too!

This is my 1st pair of Toms! What color are you going to choose??!!

I'm still mulling over which pair to get... I'm soo indecisive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots#post-2290696 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 15:34:49 +0000 jh524 2290696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: lol I'm definitely gonna spray them! But I live where it'll snow late October so I want to get more time in them. I got the same ones!! Eek. Can't wait to get them ;)<br /> @snowjewelz: I know!! So excited, I'm super picky about boots and these will be perfect! I got the tan booties. I always get black so I think tan will look cute with more, like black, navy or blue skinny jeans!! And free shipping right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots#post-2290691 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 15:27:59 +0000 whenoceansrise 2290691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i choose ankle boots over tall boots every time! i like them with tights and dresses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots#post-2290678 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 15:20:57 +0000 snowjewelz 2290678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: ugggh now I want these too!

But you're making me think I need to spray them, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots#post-2290666 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 15:08:01 +0000 jh524 2290666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: do they dirty easily? I'm wondering if they'll need a waterproof spray to protect them from water stains and things. Maybe the black would show less.. Hmm now which color should I get??!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots#post-2290665 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 15:06:50 +0000 snowjewelz 2290665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: Didn't even think of Toms! These are great! And love the socks idea too, but maybe I should start with no socks first and work my way up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots#post-2290657 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 14:56:02 +0000 ShootingStar 2290657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: Thanks :). I'm a 9.5 too and I don't think they make them look bigger at all. I almost bought a pair of Hush Puppies instead that were nearly identical, except they were flats instead of wedges. But they did make my feet look bigger and less cute over all. </p> <p>They are pretty comfortable, there's some padding in the toe box. I've only been wearing them today though, so I don't have much to go on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots#post-2290655 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 14:52:51 +0000 jh524 2290655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: those are sooooo cute!! The black is cute too! Comfortable? What size shoe are you? I'm a 9 1/2 and hope they don't make my feet look huger than they already are! I might buy them, thanks!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots#post-2290636 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 14:33:16 +0000 MrsSCB 2290636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm short (5'3") and wear ankle boots. Mostly heeled ones. I think they work best if they cut off at the slimmest part of your ankle. If they go higher to the wider part of the calf, I think they aren't as flattering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots#post-2290631 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 14:28:04 +0000 ShootingStar 2290631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got these and I love them: <a href="http://www.toms.com/women/taupe-suede-womens-desert-wedges" rel="nofollow">http://www.toms.com/women/taupe-suede-womens-desert-wedges</a></p> <p>[attach=2504/15/nuom3g.450x600.IMG_0009.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2504/15/nuom3h.450x600.IMG_4252.jpg]</p> <p>I have another pair of slip on ankle boots, but I wanted some lace up ones that just went about to ankle height.

I don't know how the suede and color will hold up but I want them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots#post-2290504 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 12:48:49 +0000 snowjewelz 2290504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I know! I want to too! The pair you posted is so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots#post-2290502 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 12:46:24 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2290502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Oh! I saw that you mentioned Frye boots. I own a pair and unfortunately wore them in the snow/rain while on vacation. It did not fare well for the boots. I think I need to get the bottoms changed out. Just FYI if you are considering purchasing them. Also, it took a while for me to break them in but they are really nice - just not as comfy as my Splendid booties. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots#post-2290498 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 12:43:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 2290498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jojepie: awesome, thanks. I'm pretty picky with comfort in shoes I wear regularly (which is why I've been wearing sneakers all the time) but sometimes you want to look nicer! I think I'm going to order these and a pair of merrills to try on (merrills, less cute but maybe more comfortable). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots#post-2290494 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 12:41:01 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2290494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Those are beautiful! I totally love my Splendid boots. I've had them for about 3 years now and I wear them everywhere - office, travel, vacations, errands. I am not one to wear heels so the slight heel on my boot is perfect. The interior foot bed is starting to show some wear, but I wore these boots a lot.</p> <p>ETA: Maybe it's time for me to upgrade to newer ones! I didn't know Anthro sold Splendid boots. I bought mine from Piperlime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-pull-off-ankle-boots#post-2290483 Mon, 14 Sep 2015 12:34:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 2290483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jojepie: @MoreCoffee: how do you find the splendid boots, comfort wise? Like, ok for walking to the copy machine and back, or ok for a mile plus walking commute? They have a pair that I really like the look of but in wondering if they will be comfortable enough. I like the price a lot more than Frye boots! These are the ones I want. </p> <p>OP- I don't know if I can pull them off but I want to! I do think either very tight fitting pants or rolled to show ankle seems to help. </p> [attach=2307/15/nuogsp.338x600.image.jpg]
