Over-the-knee BOOTS

Undoubtedly the hottest and most daring trend for shoes in 2010 are the thigh high and over-the-knee boots!It seems that society's hang ups about women in knee-high boots have long since vanished, as has a penchant for overly conservative boots. And women's boots in 2010 will be anything but conservative!Boots this season seem to be coming under three different categories;   
Classic: for a classic or elegant take on the over-the-knee boot, your best bet is to go for a slim-fitting suede pair with a round or tapered toe. Look no further than Hermes or Isabel Marant for some perfect examples of styles that will stand the test of time.  
Rock: the right pair of tight black leather over-the-knee boots screams rock-chic; tough, but sexy. Check out Jean Paul Gautier for some key examples. 
Futurism/Cyberpunk: building upon the cyberpunk influences of recent years, some designers have thrown an element of dark futurism into the thigh-high boot mix. Particularly evident in the boots by Rodarte and Topshop Unique.
