I think getting a pair with heels helps. Let me explain why. It gives the boots more structure. It also avoids the “I am a pirate” look. You are not going for that look.
MAKE SURE THEY CAN STAY UP

The whole point of these boots is for them to be able to stay up over your knee. So, be sure to find a pair that does that (and does it well!).
HAVE FUN WEARING THEM

Lastly, fully enjoy this pair of boots! That means trying different colors as I did. I stayed away from black. That let my boots standout a bit more.
Also, try them with a shorter hemline. This allows a bit of skin to show. Likewise, the shorter hemline paired with the OTK boots results in a balanced pairing visually.
