Thigh-high boots, known also as thigh-length boots or just thigh boots, are boots that reach above the knees to a minimum of mid-thigh. Other terms for this footwear include over-the-knee boots and, especially when cuffed, pirate boots. Lengths vary from reaching just over the knee to reaching almost to the crotch.

Thigh boots are made from materials starting from various leathers to varied synthetic materials. Many are constructed with zippers, but some are designed as pull-on boots. Heel heights vary, but most styles are either flat or with heels greater than 3 inches. Heel styles vary from metal spikes to chunky. Like other boots, they will even have platform soles.

Thigh boots are considered by many to be erotic or kinky. they're used as fetish clothing in boot fetishism and shoe fetishism. Cheaper thigh boots are often worn by prostitutes and professional dominatrices, numerous people consider them icons of such trades. due to the latter, they're often related to sadomasochism. Nevertheless, they're frequently sold by couture designers, perhaps due to the implied eroticism.

Thigh-high boots are more flattering on women with longer legs: "The shorter you're , the less leg there's above the highest of the boot, when wearing footwear that ends above the knee. a really high heel helps to offer the illusion of height, but when there's far more boot visible than leg; the effect is to optically foreshorten you.
