I love stiletto ankle boots; but I struggle to walk in 3-inch heels unless they are wider heels and the shoes have a balancing platform. So stilettos aren’t something you’re likely ever to find me wearing. You pretty much need to have strutting down to a science to pull off stiletto heels and I don’t so I don’t venture to wear stilettos because I would definitely look like this.
Boot personality: Stiletto boots

You might like your stiletto ankle boots just because you think they’re nice and you like how they make you look and how they boost your confidence when you wear them. But did you know that there’s an element of erotica associated with stiletto boots? There is such a thing as a stiletto boot fetish. So when buying your stiletto boots, whether they are ankle boots, mid-calf, knee-high or over the knee boots, you might want to keep in mind that the higher and pointier the heels and the pointier the toes, the greater the risk of giving an impression about yourself that might not accurately reflect your lifestyle interests and your personality.

While I love the look of stiletto ankle boots and believe that I would have more stilettos in my closet in another life, in reality I am more of a tomboy type than a girly-girl type. So if I were given the choice between stiletto boots and combat boots and told to pick the style that is more true to the way I live my life I would have to choose combat boots.

Boot personality: Ankle vs mid-calf vs Knee high vs over the knee boot
Knee high boots are attention grabbing. It’s hard not to notice knee high boots and even harder not to notice over the knee boots. You won’t find women who generally prefer to stay under the radar wearing knee high or over the knee boots very often. It’s hard to avoid being noticed when you’re wearing knee high or thigh high boots. Particularly if they are high heeled. So if you tend to shy away from attention, wearing knee high or thigh high boots might not be the best idea. Also keep in mind that some people associate knee high boots and thigh high boots with certain adult lifestyle interests. So you might want to make sure the style of boot you’re choosing in combination with your outfit doesn’t send the wrong message.

Boot personality: Cowboy boots
Cowboy boots have never seemed to get so hugely popular that you see everybody wearing them; but apparently they are trendy right now. Probably one of the reasons people have tended to shy away from cowboy boots is that they don’t know how to incorporate the style into their wardrobe. But with so many fashion blogs and websites around these days the style challenged no longer have to rely only on their own lacking sense of style. They can get ideas and inspiration from people all over the world.

You don’t necessarily have to fit into a type to wear cowboy style boots. But some people probably stereotype this look to younger Southern girls with pretty faces and perky personalities who like to wear their cowboy boots with cute little dresses, short shorts short skirts and tight jeans.
