Hmm. The tabs haven’t really bothered me yet on these. I do think the higher the shaft the better. I know it’s all a conundrum, especially if you still want to wear boots in your closet that have a lower shaft. In the end I think we just do the best we can and go live our lives! Ha!

Hi Kay, what do you do with all the tabs on the back of Chelsea (and other) boots? Even with straight jeans at a longer length, they keep hanging on the tab when I get up and down out of my chair? I told myself yesterday that I was reserving them all for skinny jeans because I was tired of fighting with them. Oh no, ha! Also, I have boots with different shaft heights, so figuring out what pants/ jeans can be worn with them is getting hairy. I’m ready to throw up my hands, or wear them and not worry about it anymore!

Also, I think the higher shaft boots look cute w/ cuffed jeans and socks. It might be for the younger crowd. I don’t know, though. I hope you’re feeling much better this week!

Thanks, Kay! Your post was so helpful, thank you so much. I really appreciate all that you do and enjoy spending time with you in your lovely videos. I am glad you are feeling better!
All the years we were wearing skinny jeans, I never understood how to manage the winter boots. Or the socks! Some of us always need to wear socks. Could you please link to your post that explains that? I still have some skinny jeans I will wear. I saved all my straight leg jeans from years past and just wore those in the winter. Basically, I didn’t participate in the skinny jean fashion trend at all! Thanks so much, Kay, you are a blessing and an inspiration.

Recently I purchased two pair of jeans from a company called B Sides Jeans. Love them, they are somewhere between a straight leg and a very slight bootcut. At first, I was going to have them hemmed, but after trying them on with different pairs of shoes I’ve left them as they are so.. I found all boots, mules and clogs look nice especially because the length is a little longer-top of my foot. I’ve also learned having the jean a little looser around the ankle helps with pairing shoes. After trying on nine pairs of jeans and deciding what I did and didn’t like about each I came to this conclusion. On a blog High Heels in the Wilderness, Susan joked when suggesting you need a capsule wardrobe just for jeans.
