Winter Must-Have: Bootights – Tights To Wear With Boots!

Introducing Bootights!

Tights with the comfort and cushioning of attached mid-calf socks
that are designed exclusively to wear with boots!

THE PROBLEM:
Tights are often awkward and uncomfortable when worn with boots causing snagging, slipping, blistering, and cold feet, forcing women to wear socks over their tights. Most of my boots are also slightly big for me so wearing them with tights alone is very uncomfortable. Up until now, I’ve always worn a pair of socks over my tights when wearing them with boots.

THE ANSWER:
Bootights – The first product to combine a tight and sock all in one.




Okay so seriously, why didn’t someone think of this before now?

With a unique interlocking weaving system that offers seamless bonding, these premium quality tights are fabricated with 85% Nylon and 15% Lycra. COOLMAX moisture/thermal yarn sock provides moisture-wicking and odor reduction. Plus, the woven technology offers support for the foot and ankle with a cushioned foot bed, making your favorite boots even more comfortable.

The contoured fit of the sock accommodates any boot style. I’ve worn them with my black Born Tatiana Full-Grain Leather boots, my gorgeous Born Nenna Boots and my new favorite: Born Peri cuffed boots. (Yeah, I’ll admit it. I’m a huge Born fan!)

I was especially pleased with the non-binding waist band with tummy control “every course” weave. I hate how most tights dig into your middle and push all the belly blub below making you look pregnant, even if you aren’t!

Bootights have cleverly thought ahead and designed these with different sock heights so you can wear them with more than your favorite tall boots. The ankle length option is perfect for booties and ankle boots while the midcalf option is great for mid-height boots like Ugg Boots and all your tall boots.

I received a pair in charcoal which is the most versatile for my personal winter wardrobe. I’d love to get a pair in chocolate to use with my Fall wardrobe as well.

They are also available in a mid-calf version with their signature stitched floral pattern.

Bootights are now available for purchase at Dillards for only $21! They are selling out fast though, so be sure to grab a pair as soon as you can.

Get them on Dillards.com

I think that Bootights are an amazing invention and definitely a winter-must-have for all boot-wearing fashionistas. Well worth the money, comfortable, high-quality, and the solution for a common problem during the winter months. Definitely a fashionable housewife best buy!

THE INSPIRATION:
The “Ah Ha” moment for founder Shelby Mason came on a cold Chicago day during a business trip. While walking through airport security, Shelby removed her fashionable boots to reveal not only her tights, but an old pair of white tube socks “borrowed” from her father for extra comfort and warmth. (Ugh!).Worse yet, one sock had slid down her ankle allowing the zipper to snag a new pair of tights. Disgraced but determined, Shelby spent the entire flight wondering why she couldn’t have a cute, quality tight combined with a cozy foot bed to wear with her boots? By the time she landed, the idea for boot tights was taking off.

    An amazing invention indeed! Even in SoCal, my toes are chilly all day. Thanks so much for bringing this one to our attention!

    I can’t believe someone didn’t think of this sooner. I hate tights w/ boots and have to wear high socks over them..this is such a great idea!

    I just wore them again yesterday with my new Born Tatianna boots in black with a gray Hanes jersey dress. Wore them all day, very comfortable with the boots even after hours of standing and freezing temperatures.

    My only complaint so far is that they seem a little short. I’m only 5’3″ and I felt like I really had to tug on them to get them up. Maybe a bigger size would have more length??

    Thank you so much for the great review of Bootights. I am taking your suggestion of lengthening the sock. The next production will increase the sock height by 2.5 inches to keep you warmer and protect against zipper snags.
