However, this does not mean that you cannot rock a pair of ankle boots. It only means that you have to be careful in choosing which booties you wear so that it will complement your body type.
Not all shoes are made equal and the same principle applies to ankle boots. When purchasing ankle boots, take into consideration the following flattering features.
1. It should at least have a pointed toe or a peep toe.
2. It should have a slender heel.
3. The heel height should be at least three inches.
Given the aforementioned guidelines, flat ankle boots are definitely a big no-no for petite women. Thankfully, there is a wide array of high-heeled ankle boots
for petite women to choose from.
Now that you have got the booties covered, make sure that what you wear with your ankle boots will help create the appearance of a longer leg line. You can do this by wearing ankle boots with a pair of pants or jeans that have a slight boot cut or by wearing it with skinny jeans tucked inside. You can also do this by choosing the right colors. Choose dark-colored ankle boots to match with tights, also in a matching dark color. If you prefer to wear something shorter, pair your ankle boots with bubble skirts or cuffed shorts and fitted tops. And again, remember to pick ankle boots that give you added height.

2. Alternate between closed high heel ankle boots and high heeled ankle boots with cut out sections or peep toe. Aside from a
llowing your feet to “breathe”, this also helps prevent additional pressure on calluses or corns.
3. Invest in back heel cushions. This footwear accessory helps absorb pressure and shock. This is especially worthwhile if you are on your feet more often than usual.
4. Do not always wear high heeled ankle boots with thin heels. Thinner heels may be classier to look at, but thinner heels also require mo

Remember, no matter how beautiful you look in a pair of high heeled ankle boots, if you are obviously uncomfortable with them, then it ceases to be fashionable. Fashion is always safety and comfort first. Stay safe and fashion forward!
