Tall Boots

I would really like to find some fashionable tall boots for men to pair with my skirts, but the offerings I have found on the internet are either made for wealthy people, people who want to look like pirates or vampires, or people who want to look like cowboys. Is there a retailer anyone here would recommend that sells tall boots at reasonable prices (like less than $150 USD)? My shoe size is U.S. size 13.

Since you are in the northern hemisphere you might rethink tall boots more of a seasonal item -BUT- then winter ain't over in your
part of the country at least by todays weather forecasts.
Shopping OnLine is best - at mall stores they have already thinned their stock and sandals and beachy things in vogue.
As for the size 13 PayLess would be your store of (last) resort as this time for that size !

he is going to need a whole lot more boot than a 9 or 10 which still can be found -but- the size 13* equivalent of women's 15 is only going to be found
maybe in a custom European shop hidden somewhere in the alps of Italy or a custom costume back lot shop in Hollywood !
* Male 13 = women's 14.5-15 - - - Female 13 = men's 11.5-12 (+ or - a cm fractionalized size) about a size an a half difference Brannock scale.
Any thing over a size 12 women's time to cross the aisle !

Long Tall Sally, but it tends to be seasonal.

This winter I dropped into a store DSW in Vancouver. "Designer Shoes Warehouse" carries many styles of boots and shoes which are seasonally displayed. I had never been into their store before and was delighted to find some good knee high boots at reasonable prices, $80-$150. I bought a pair of Michael Kors knee-high riding boots and a pair of La Canadien Knee high boots. I am not sure if they are in the US or not.
Check them out at

It depends on what they have in at the time, I bought 2 pairs of size 11, at the time they had a few pairs of size 12 and 1pair of 13's. Because the stock is fuild one has to check often to see what they have. I found them to be very helpful.

One of the ways to get large size footwear is to get your head in the door (I mean foot in the door) when the shoes/boots whatever are first introduced
for the season - you wait you lose. Large sizes are stocked in very limited quantities. Get to know the store manager or staff if shopping at a conventional
shoe store for help in when the new styles and sizes are going to be stocked. Right now it is summer in the northern hemisphere and very soon the winter
stock will be in stores. Amazon and the mail order outfits already perhaps have inventory or listing for these. Do timely internet search for those boots now.
Some tall boots are for year round fashion and others for practical winter protection from the elements. Don't buy cheap boots for winter wear with slush
snow salt and other chemicals unless planning on them being one year disposable footwear. You pay for what you get.

WHen it comes to shoes its Amazon or
Long Tall Sally.
With LTS its seasonal so you have to keep checking their website, then when you see something you like you have to decide how bad do you want it. The prices come down as the product ages and as the availability dwindles, for a size 15 you cant wait too long or they might sell out.
Tall Boots in my collection are from 2 companies.
Le Dame They sell "Fashionable Women's Shoes in Men's sizes" I wear their Kathy boots in the winter with some of my skirts, its just below my knee. They have an over the knee boot as well the Kandi but it has a stiletto heel so if clearly a "woman's shoe" I have 3 of the 4 boots that Le Dame makes and they all fit my size 13 feet with no problems,
The other brand available is
Pleaser they are a women's Fetish shoe line that sells all sorts of strange and off the wall designs in sizes up to 15 to 17 depending on the shoe. The Tall boots I have from them have a platform and high heel so it may not be what you are looking for.

Hmm... The last time I looked at LTS all they had in a women's 13 or 14 (according to the on-line wisdom I'd be a 13 1/2) were Brikenstocks which are an outright non-starter for either sex (I swear the company held focus groups on how to design the most hideous-looking footwear possible). Just say, "No."
