IMO the two best knee boot looks are when worn with a knee grazing leather skirt or over shiny pants that show a clear contrast between boot and pant. Karla and Paola cover the bases in this clip from the Nov 24 episode of Despierta America. Thanks to Doc M for this great clip.

Forget about that Rogers guy, check out the back-up singer

It's always a good day when my inbox is graced by a note from tireless Tamaro Benz of the indispensable NewsWomen Blog. This time he alerted me to a music clip by The First Edition, which featured some bearded guy (who roasts a tasty chicken) and more importantly singer Mary Arnold in a deeply fab pair of white 70's style OTK's.  There's a nice long view at around the :50 mark.  These look like a superior version of the style.  The overwhelming majority of white OTK's of the period appear cheap and .....vinyl-y.  This pair looks like a fine and expensive pair of leather boots.

Lili Estefan in a tasty pair of shiny, spiky knee boots (almost knee-scrapers) from a clip from the Nov 22 El Gordo y la Flaca. Thanks to the esteemed Dr Morgus for this clip. He's helped me through a rough patch.

From The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Queen Latifah wears a high pair of suede boots that disappear under the hem of her above the knee skirt. 2 thoughts-I will probably refer to most matte-finish boots as being "suede" even if they might of non-animal sources. The clear exception are very sheer (rather than shear) stocking boots. Also, Queen Latifah was quite often booted on her late, lamented talk show.

Sarah Palin wore shiny knee boots on a recent episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers. Sadly, not much to see after the walk-out, but still a nice pair of boots.
