tall boots

Knee-covering leg protection

Tall boots are boots with shafts that extend well above the ankle, typically reaching the knee or just below it.

The term distinguishes them from ankle boots or mid-calf styles.

Tall boots appear in equestrian riding, military dress, and fashion contexts: She pulled on her tall boots before heading to the stable.

Riding boots, go-go boots, and certain rain boots all qualify as tall boots.
