The makers of Stiruppz, a style accessory that keeps your pants securely tucked into your boots, contacted me recently to review their product and wondered if I would be interested. They weren’t sure I would be since I live in mega-hot Las Vegas, and perhaps boots aren’t as popular in Vegas as they are in the cooler areas of the country. “Whoa!” I exclaimed. It can be in the 90s in hot-as-hell Las Vegas, and we girls LOVE and ROCK our boots. “Send me a sample,” I urged Stiruppz, “Girls in Vegas love their boots.”

The weather has recently cooled in Sin City, and I finally got the chance to try Stiruppz, Now, keep in mind, I am a mega-boot girl. I am obsessed with boots, but I normally wear my boots with dresses because I hate fidgeting with my clothes. And I’ve found that when I wear pants with my boots, I’m spending the entire day tucking and re-tucking my pant legs into my boots. So, when I discovered Stiruppz, I had was delighted to find a solution to my problem.

I first wore Stiruppz with a pair of jeans and mid-calf, slouchy leather boots. I had been dying to wear these particular boots with jeans, but because the boots are low in shaft height, I knew it wouldn’t work. But, it did with Stiruppz. This first attempt took some working and re-working as one of the clips was rubbing uncomfortably against my ankle. Once I re-worked that clip, it was fine. Two tips: you must wear socks with your Stiruppz and I recommend wearing socks that go past your ankles.

Then I wore my Stiruppz with a pair of cotton cargo pants and another pair of mid-calf boots. Because this was the second time around with Stiruppz, there was no session of working and re-working. Another tip: Stiruppz are not adjustable. The fit depends on high you cuff your pants. Your first time using Stiruppz will be a lesson on how to make them work for you.

Later in the week, I wore another pair of cargo pants with some knee-high boots and no Stiruppz, thinking that the height of the shaft would keep my pants in place. Big mistake. I ended up with baggy knees within an hour. That’s when I realized how important Stiruppz are in my wardrobe now. Once you use them, you’ll find out the same.

If you are a perfectionista fashionista with a growing collection of boots, as I am, you need to add Stiruppz to your accessory drawer today. Keep your boots tucked nicely in your pants and always look put together and styled.
