- Wear the right socks/tights with them, tights can help grip the boots to your skin better and stop them from falling down.

- Wear them in! Wear them around the house and check they fit properly before you take the leap to wearing them out and about, this will ensure maximum, long term comfort.
- If you’ve got larger thighs choose knee high boots that offer a wide calf option, this will make sure you’re provided with the ultimate comfort.
