thigh-high boots

Towering leather footwear

Thigh-high boots are boots that extend up to the thigh, typically reaching mid-thigh or higher.

They may be practical footwear for wading or riding, but more often serve as fashion statements with provocative or dramatic effect: She paired thigh-high boots with a miniskirt.

Also called thigh-highs or over-the-knee boots, though the latter technically end just above the knee.
