I love boots and wear them year round. During the summer, most of my knee high dress boots are packed away for winter so I mostly wear colorful ankle booties and cowboy boots. I do have a knee high pair I wear in summer that pulls on that I wear a lot too. I like that they pull on and they don't fit so tight to my legs like zip boots. I'll wear them in summer with jeans, skirts, sundresses or shorts. I've gotten so that I wear my boots so much I'm sometimes the "Boot Lady" at work. If you like wearing them a lot too, then you should wear themas much and whenever you want. Besides, if you live in Texas, aren't boots a year round thing there? Hope this helps.
