Duo Boots -Are they worth it?

23 replies

Seasider · 10/09/2008 14:31

Am seriously considering getting a pair of flat black boots from them upon which to revolve my winter wardrobe! No heels for me as I would go splat.

Anyone any good (or bad things) to tell me?

Yes, I have a pair of the lisbon ones. They are flat and I love them.

I have a pair and I love them. They fit so well and I have got loads of wear out of them. I have large calves and my only other option is Evans and Duo are far superior to them.

I have a pair as I could never get boots to fit over my chubby calves. They are great and incredibly comfy. If you are between calf sizes I would recommend going down instead of up as the sizing is quite generous. You can always send them back if they cut off the circulation!

Yes. I have two pairs and would buy more if I could afford them. Can never find normal boots to fit my huge calves.

No, get the boots right and the winter wardrobe is a breeze IMO.

They don't do Lisbon any more- but they may have some as sale stock.

Have just ordered some Macerata, am hoping they are lovely as they are rather a whopping price. Will report back...

i am skinny calved. (not skinny thighed, before you think im bragging coz i aint) and tall boots rarely fit well and often look bloody stoopid on me.

Ah shucks. I thought you'd all solved my shoe-buying problem there, but my feet measure up as under size 4 in length, wider than EEE, but with skinny calves.

You should try www.hennyjames.co.uk as they have a great selection much cheaper than Duo and really good quality. I have brought a pair off them every year they are really helpful in finding your size as well.
