Plus size thigh high boots

Plus size thigh high boots photo If you thought thigh high boots were only for the ultra-thin model-looking women out there you are dead wrong. There a high highs for everyone, from the mentioned skinny all the way to us with fuller bodies, thighs and calves. So let’s have a look at plus size thigh high boots, what the options are, and where you can find these boots.

Too tight thigh high boots

If you look at what women are saying online, through reviews and comments about the boots they have bought, you will often see that they complain about the boots being too tight around the thigh or calves. I would suspect that many of these are normal women with normal bodies. In other words women that don’t really fall under the category plus size, whatever the term plus size actually means. You might suspect that some brands are better at making comfortable thigh high shoes than others. The problem is that if the boots are too tight around your thighs and give you a pinching feeling, you probably won’t wear them for long.

Thigh high boots for wide thighs

One of the first things you should look for, specifically, is that the boots are labeled “wide legs”. This doesn’t necessarily mean that they are plus size, just that they are made with a wider thigh area, mostly for esthetical reasons. These will most likely be more comfortable than the tight sitting, over the knee boots.

You can also look for shops that specialize in plus size shoes. You probably won’t find a shop that does plus size thigh high boots alone, because the market simply isn’t that big, but the more generalized shoe shops should have an assortment of boots that might tickle your fancy.

Feel beautiful – Be beautiful

On a side note, this topic is really important to me, because I think many women don’t wear over-the-knee boots because they are over-conscious about their bodies. I am not going to try to talk you in to wearing boots like this, but you have to remember that beauty has little to do with your body, and a lot to do with your mindset. If you think that you are beautiful, and walk down the street with a pair of thigh highs with confidence, other will think you are beautiful too. It’s the law of attraction in practice, what you think about yourself is what you project out to the world, and ultimately how others will see you too.

Thigh high boots with stretch

Stretch is also a word you should look for. Thigh high boots that have stretch in them, or some kind of leeway through lacing or buckles should also be more comfortable for plus size thighs. Some boots have sown in an area on the side that has stretching capabilities, which means that the rest of the boot can be in leather that doesn’t stretch without the boots being too tight.

What are the style options for plus size thigh high boots? Pretty much the same as for normal thigh highs.

Knee high boots with or without platform

These boots reach the knee and are build with or without a platform sole.

Over the knee boots with or without platform

Boots that go over the knee and are build with or without a platform sole.

And here are some styles, loosely and subjectively categorized.

Ladies thigh high boots

In absence of a better term, ladies or womens thigh high boots are the boots you can wear to work, on the street and to just about any event. They are usually do not look “stripperish” or cheap.

Pleaser thigh high boots

These are the boots you only wear for special occasions like parties or a night out on the town. Pleaser thigh highs are often very tight, and has leather that shines, bordering to the style of the mother of all over the knee boots, the sexed up “stripper” thigh highs.

Stripper thigh highs

These were the original thigh length boots, popularized after Irwing Claw used them for the costume of a woman in his erotic photographies in the 1950’s. This category of shoes often have laces, buckles, often made in vinyl or plastic. These are the boots you might not want to wear when visiting your mother in law, but can be great fun for the bedroom.

The fashion industry – only for the skinnies?

As you see, there are many options and alternatives. But like with any other clothes, you probably have to look a little harder to find the plus size variants. Unfortunately, it seems the fashion industry is mainly geared toward supergirl bodies, in other words bodies that are extremely rare if you look at the big picture. But don’t give up, because here is the number one tip you can use when you are out shopping for plus size over the knee boots.

Return policy!

Try to find a shop that lets you return the shoes if you are not satisfied. That way you can order the shoes, walk around with them inside (don’t wear them outdoors or you probably won’t get your money back), get a feel for them, and if they turn uncomfortable you can send them back. Remember, just trying them out in the store for 5 minutes won’t tell you whether they will start to irritate you after a days worth of wear.

Ok, I better tidy up here, other responsibilities await. For starter I better get outside and take a jog so that I can fit in my plus size thigh highs. Yeah, perhaps I should write a post on plus-plus sized boots. LOL! See yah!
