Line 5:
Shoes, usually boots, which rise knee-length or higher, often giving them [[Zettai Ryouiki]] appeal, and qualifying under its grades. These kinds of shoes have a certain [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]] factor because it is pretty uncommon, and usually pretty impractical and expensive, for shoes to reach any higher than calf length. These shoes may have straps, buckles, zippers or laces that may go all the way up, to emphasize their length and the fact that the character wearing them [[She's Got Legs|has some sexy legs]].
 
Nicknamed Go-Go Boots, [[Thigh -High Boots]] tend to double as [[Combat Stilettos]] on [[Action Girl|Action Girls]], though [[Dominatrix|Dominatrices]] and [[Real Life]] prostitutes wear these rather liberally, qualifying the latter as the [[Ur Example]], and the former as the [[Trope Codifier]].
 
Compare [[Zettai Ryouiki]] and [[Nice Shoes]] -- this is a subtrope of both. See [[Opera Gloves]] for the upper-limb equivalent.
