Well, I was thinking about the laced-up tall boots in your picture ... those are skirt-or-britches boots! My beloved but outgrown ankle boots were just fine with jeans. (I think they may have been Frye, come to think of it, but not the usual type ... black with a slim strap wrapped twice around the ankle and secured with a silver buckle ... as Karl pointed out, not many men would have wanted to wear them anyway.)
Yes - if I know the manufacturer's sizing well (like Hush Puppies or Easy Spirit or Clark's), or if I have tried on the shoe in the store but didn't like the colors they had available, I will buy from places like Zappo's. And that's generally where I buy Care's dress shoes, too, because the range of sizes is larger.
