Boots for short legs- 5 surprising Secrets (wish I had known earlier!)

[@nancyvelasquez546]

You really explain things so well. Much appreciated. From one short person to another.

[@milchstrasse4154]

Wow! First time I have ever heard a content creator saying give me a thumbs down if you don't like the video. Love this type of humbleness and simplicity! Also loved this video. I always thought I shouldn't wear boots since I am so short. I wore them regardless because I LOVE them. Thanks for the tips, well-deserved thumbs up :)

[@PetiteDressing]

Glad you like them, Andrea!!

[@icecrystal3255]

The snow boots (Sorel?) are purely functional: for snow. Sometimes function>style. It's more important in snow to protect your pants from getting wet than it is to worry about short looking legs! I love your videos🧡

[@sandieknies9453]

At 5,2 in the Netherlands surrounded by the tallest people in the world I sometimes find it difficult just to find many of the items you mention. Here they often don’t make for my size because there’s almost no demand. Knowing what to look for is so valuable because much of it needs to be ordered from overseas. Thank you for your channel

[@v.ang.4803]

As a short person in the Netherlands I feel your pain. But you can shop from other EU countries. Now I shop a lot on Vinted and get things from France and Italy often.

I found a GREAT pair of boots for petites! If you want a black leather knee high pair, the Melanie boots from Naturalizer are great! They have a feminine, elongating pointed toe, a short heel (tall enough to give about an inch of height but still short enough to have ease of walking), and they hit right below the knee. Took me forever to find just the right boots, hence my excitement lol. Hope this helps someone. Sincerely, Your 4’11” fellow petite ❣️

[@PetiteDressing]

Glad you find the right pair! It’s always a struggle! Naturalizer is a great brand for comfortable shoes- thanks for sharing with us!

Love my Naturalizer Melanie’s! I wear them with black tights with my dresses & skirts all fall & winter!

[@stin_irch]

Same here 🤚

[@taraflatt4073]

I agree! I am short but found that over the knee boots are actually elongating. I have 2 pair and yes, easy to wear! Also, I didn’t see where you got those tan over the knee boots that had all the cute embellishments. I love those! Great video!

[@DP-dr6gi]

This was a really helpful video! The info on over the knee boots was especially great. Also, the hidden platform was something I didn’t know, thanks!

[@alldoneup]

I'm a dress gal too and yes, some types of boots look ridiculous with my dresses. Lol. Great advice and tips! Thank you!

[@TheBohemianStyle]

Wonderful tips that I am grateful for! During the winter, I can’t wear boots with heals because of the ice and slush. The first boot you showed that is bulky is what I need to wear in our winter weather. 💋

[@mouse9727]

Same. I haven’t seen a pair of fashion boots that can be worn in-40 degree weather with ice and several feet of snow, so function over style wins in winter

[@RevelationArtist]

I’m also 5’2 and I can certainly identify with this! Thanks!

[@tvelicia]

This is a great video! I'm only 5'0" and the tips are excellent for me. A recommendation I have for women who have very slim calves, is to take the boots to a shoe cobbler to have the shaft taken in so that the boots fit thin calves better. It can cost about $30-$40 per pair but the boots look so much better so it's worth it to me.

[@PetiteDressing]

Thanks for sharing!! Glad you liked my video, Tobi-Velicia!

[@sb2333]

Appreciate your effort in putting on and taking off your boots numerous times, and pair them with outfits that would look better with long and short boots, and the colour of pants that make a difference with the colour of the boots. 👍 for your video!

[@janeta3509]

I don't care how cold it gets. I will never own a pair of Uggs.

I live in WI and I got my first pair of Uggs this year. I don’t wear them to “go out”. But, they’re black with sequins and I wear them to Walmart, when I had surgery and to walk around the block with my kid. I love the warm and comfort of them. I have seen Sorels as a chic alternative and I’m thinking about searching for a pair of them.

Glad you like them!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Great tips that never occurred to me before, you are the best petite stylist around, Chi! My legs aren’t very short, but I definitely don’t want them to look any shorter! After two years of looking, I just found a pair of nude suede knee-high boots in my really-common size, 7.5. I’m actually a 6.5, but I order up on most footwear because of wide toes.

The problem for me is my hands and feet get too cold , in winter. Meaning , I cannot wear boots in the cold unless they are the thick clunky kind she showed as the kind not to wear. So I need to go shopping... and find pants that match better... P.S. I just subscribed. Because she showed more in this video than a lot of other youtubers I watched in the past when it comes to fashion. So she reccomends skirts... I never wore skirts because they were either way too short or ,(like most cases) were way too long.

I personally wear tights under my skirts in the winter time (and actually when wearing pants as well, for warmth).
