After all, the whole women-and-shoes thing spun off the crazy chart ages ago. A pair of Jimmy Choos has become a ritual way to celebrate: a special occasion, a pay rise or even (for Rebecca Adlington) an Olympic gold. With this much symbolism invested in shoes, it is inevitable that they are beginning to look less and less like functional footwear.
Here's the thing, though: I love these boots. First, they cover your knees, a body part that normal-height boots tend to highlight. Second, they're made of such soft leather that you can squish them down to normal, below-the-knee level - handy if, say, you're looking for a taxi on the street and don't want to give the wrong impression. And third, now that heels can get no higher (see Gwyneth Paltrow), thigh-high may be the only way to go.
