Cannot stop wearing ankle boots so I cut my vintage Fryes.
Already got these tall blacks.
Question for you: Go this short or keep as is?
Talk to me.

I would have never put scissors to vintage but since it's been done, keep it that length. The slouch look is nice. Any shorter and you'll wonder what the hell have I done?!
ReplyDeleteStay as is. :)
ReplyDeletekeep. definitely.
ReplyDeletego shorter!!!!!

WOW! That was ballsy! I think they look great this way! I would keep them as is, no shorter.
ReplyDeleteLeave! Super cute!
ReplyDeleteBold move and I love it! Hmmm, I say give them a test run with an outfit or two, then decide.
ReplyDeleteNICE!!! I love that you cut these.

I kind of like the slouch of the length it is now, it gives more character to the boot
ReplyDeletethat had to be at least a little traumatic to do. very nice result though.
ReplyDeleteLove these boots! How tall are you? You look tall so I would say, keep it as is, or cut it just smidgen shorter. Sadly my stocky legs on my petite frame would look kind of weird, imbalanced.
ReplyDeleteDrop the scissors and back slowly away from the boots - they're the perfect height now! BTW, I'm a long time fan and first time comment-er. I must confess I'm rather obsessed with your blog and your style speaks to me in a language all it's own. And it's BEAUTIFUL. I, too, rock the "hippie with an edge" look and you inspire me everyday in more ways than one. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteFabulous as is!!!! Keep the slouch def.....Been thinking of doing to a pair of suedes in my closet...HOW DID U DO IT?????????
ReplyDeletenooo keep as is!! i like this ankle length :)

ReplyDeleteKeep it as is!! :D They already look super great!

I have been looking for a pair of boots to do this to forever! Yours are perfect. If they were mine, I would wear them for a while like they are, then cut them again later. I love changing things up!

Keep them this length, I love the slouchy ankle infact they look the perfect summer boots now.
ReplyDeleteThe doll on fashion
Wow, they look so much better in my opinion. Even if they were great-looking boots before, then now i'm in love with them:)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely as is! I don't think they're made quite right to be any lower.
ReplyDeleteoh my !! you did it ! well I like the result they're soo cool now!!

They look great. I've always wondered about cutting boots to make them shorter didn't know if it would work - clearly it does!
ReplyDeleteI personally like them as they are but they would work well cut shorter xx
I left a comment but I cant see it now ..I love the boots now, you did it wahouhh!

definitely cut more off the detailing makes them perfect for it
ReplyDeleteOuuuh i like the idea! But keep them like this, they look great!
ReplyDeleteKeep as is! The top part of the leather gives it that little more unique thing!
ReplyDeleteWOW respect for how you've done this... They looked great already, but now I'm really curious about you matching them to an outfit... love it!
ReplyDeletehttp://fromhatstoheels.blogspot.com/
xo.
i think you should get them shorter!
ReplyDeleteThis is actually a great idea. I think I may do that with my pair as well. I haven't worn them in so long!
ReplyDeleteFashionable Collections
wow, they look amazing! I'd leave them like that but maybe wear the cut off piece put in top of the boots just for fun as well - makes for an interesting effect!
ReplyDeleteman,you brave to cut your vintage..lol...don't go any shorter! help me unload my vintage..lol...
ReplyDeletettp://shop.ebay.com/jusnuts/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25 and get that stuff up in your shop :)

As someone who hates parting with the abandoned items in corners of my closet, I really appreciate this well-done DIY.
ReplyDeleteAnd keep this length!! xo
Leave em be.
ReplyDeletekeep definitely
ReplyDeleteCan we see a picture of them on?!
ReplyDeleteOmgosh! How are you so awesome?! These rock!
ReplyDeletego shorter! I got a vintage black pair of "cowboy-shoes" and have been wearing them to death, both summer and winter.
ReplyDeleteit was veery good idea to cut them into short instead of having them loong! They look much better that way!
ReplyDeleteGosh, these are so amazing!

literally did this to 2 pairs of mine yesterday. i went below the ankle cuz anything higher makes my legs look stubby.
ReplyDeleteany suggestions on where i can buy boot harnesses?
OMG I totally thought about doing this because I've been having a hard time find boots low enough in the ankle for me! I would go shorted, but that's because I'm short, but your tall so I think either would work!
ReplyDeleteSHORTER! :) i love ankle cowboy boots, need to find myself some, although DIYing them seems like a fun idea :)
ReplyDeletei spotted a DIY like this a while back, can't find i but this will do

I love your blog. your style and vibe are great.

I like them long, and I like them short! I personally couldnt have cut my vintage boots! the color is so unique but thats because I have an obsession with brown distressed boots! I still love it shorter, and at least you know you are probably the only one who did that, so your boots are unique.

ReplyDeleteLook at these one !
I have never ever thought of cutting my knee high boots to ankle boots. But seeing your end product has inspired me. Great D.I.Y.
ReplyDeleteDid you just literally cut them across with scissors? Won't the stitching fray/boots fall apart?
ReplyDeleteWow.... Love them. Cutting it makes it looks saucy and chic. You have it all! I found that kind of designed ankle boots at makemechic.com.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I love those ankle boots. Where could I shop ankle boots like those? BTW, I'm Raiyanenchaviz, aspiring fashion designer and a newbie blogger too. I really like your blog specially this post and count me in if there's a new post.see yah!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit nervous but contemplating doing the same!!
