The Right Height
A few months ago I posted that I’d tweaked a pair of Manolo Blahnik black stretch-suede boots, shortening them to about this height (mine are a tad taller)—and, let me tell you, it was a great decision. I wear them all the time with skirts and pants (no gap between the bottom of the pant leg and top of the boot) and I get lots of compliments. No one noticed them when they were the stuffy to-the-knee height.
Grey, cream, black and red and here.

I’ve been wearing these navy boots of the same height and loving them.
What a great idea – I have a pair of same just sitting in my closet!!
