ISO: Tall Boots for Petitie Women

[ChefGirl]

I am petitie about 5'2"...really want some tall boots.....do they make them in petitie sizes? lol.....wonderign if 14.5" shaft will work on petite women. Anyone has any suggestions? thanks.

I'm 5'2" too and regular boots in the women's section have always been fine height wise.

I'm 5'2" too. I have on a pair with a 15.5" shaft height today. When I sit the hit the crease in the back of my knee, but they don't bother me at all because the leather is soft. When I was pregnant with DS2, I tried on the tall Hunter boots. I couldn't walk in them because it was so painful when it hit the back of my knee. I was also super swollen at the time so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.

Other than that I haven't had any other issues with tall boots.

I'm just barely 5'2" (I round up a bit, LOL!) and just bought these with a 15" shaft and they are super comfy. I thought they might feel funny along the back of my knee when sitting but I wore them to church on Sunday for 2.5 hrs. and no problems at all. I also have a pair of A2 tall black boots from Kohls (from last season) that aren't quite as tall and also very comfy.

Thank you ladies....I just bought a pair of Tommy from Piperlime this afternoon taking advantage of the 40% of and additional 25% off deal. It's 14.5 inch shaft. Keeping my fingers crossed for a good fit.

Just wanted to say thanks for mentioning Piperlime. I'm going to order these (http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=52781&vid=1&pid=944561002) now!
But, where is the additional 25% off? - nevermind, I found it in the Bargains! Thanks!

I think a 14" or 14.5" shaft is just perfect for a tall boot for a petite woman.

I do fine with that height and I'm 5'2.5". I do have longer legs and a shorter torso.

im 4'11" and find regular boots fine too :)

Bumping because I must have been delusional when I posted upthread. I haven't shopped for tall boots in 2-3 years but want new ones now. Almost every pair at the stores were too tall. I can't figure out how to filter online for 14" shafts. :( Couple that with my skinny calves and I am failing big time on my boot hunt. I've invested too much time online and in person lately on this quest. eta- the pair I have now is a Steve Madden slouch pair.

I picked these up for 130 in Fawn a few weeks ago (not pictured right now, basically a slight variation on dark brown), and they are not too high at all on me (5'2.5", but longer legs/shorter torso).

I was hoping they'd work with jeans and skirts/dresses, but they are a little big in the calf for me to wear with tights. They work fine with skinny jeans. Shaft height has been fine with wiggle room.
