[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone post an example of a bootie that will work with this style jeans, that does not have a lug sole.  I am mid 50s and feel too old for those shoes - i want a “regular” sole/heel, but the shaft tall enough so that you don’t see my
ankles. [/quote]

You’re not working with booties anymore. They’re done. Ankle boots with those fat little heels and almond toes are dated. Look for long slender mid shaft boots with structural heels and long toe boxes. The ankle is slender and comes up to your shin. Very simple to match with any pants; here’s an inexpensive example of what I’m talking about: https://www.asos.com/us/raid/raid-kennedi-mid-heel-chelsea-boots-in-black/prd/201329765?ctaref=we+recommend+grid_13&featureref1=we+recommend+pers[/quote]

DP, but I don’t have chicken legs, so those don’t work for me.  Oh well.  Those are the kinds of boots that look dreadful on anyone who is not super thin and leggy.[/quote]

Any kind of stretch boot should work great for women with thicker legs. They’re much more forgiving than the more traditional leather variety. I say this as a pear-shaped woman who frequently has trouble with boots being too tight in the calf. I probably wouldn’t wear these mid-height ones with skirts because they make my short legs look even shorter but with jeans they’re great.[/quote]

Thanks, PP.  Do you have links to what you’re describing?  I actually wore stretch knee-high boots yesterday with a dress, so I love that look, but not sure how it would be with shorter boots.  If I’m wearing jeans over the boots, I don’t see how what the shaft looks like matters.  I don’t like the high ankle pants with mid-calf boots look - mostly because heels are uncomfortable, and I don’t want flats.[/quote]

I have these and they fit really well.  Super-comfortable and I don't normally like wearing heels.  They look great with shorter pants if you decide to give that a try.

Thanks, PP.  I’m not sure they’d be stretchy enough to fit my lower legs, but they’re cute.

I actually think the pictures of this style (shorter pants, closer fitting mid-calf boots) looks great.  Part of my hesitation in trying it is around shopping for still more stuff, which I don’t love doing.  I know I could find a cheap pair of pants, but I’m tired of buying cheap clothing, and then I’d also need updated tops to wear them with.  As another PP said, I don’t want to drop $$$ every season to be always on trend.  [/quote]

I have, and love, these:

DP.  The shaft is skinny and stretchy, so they work perfectly with straight leg jeans -- I wear them with both ankle-length straight leg jeans and full length (but like how they look most with the ankle-length pair).  They are lug soles -- a trend I personally like mostly because it's comfy!  Price is great, too.  [/quote]
