Please help me find some knee-high boots - short person with wide calf

I'm 5ft 1 and I'm finding boots are getting longer and longer every year. I've tried on so many boots lately that have scraped the back of my knee, so uncomfortable. Looking for fairly low heels, an inch or so.

I've also gained lots of weight and I need a wider calf width - I've tried on so many boots recently where I couldn't get the zip done up.

Recently ordered some boots from Duo and was so disappointed that I sent them back. It was a pair of boots that was specifically made in a petite length so the length was fine, but the foot width was so narrow, I couldn't believe how uncomfortable it was, and even though I did measure my calf, the boots were still really tight and I still had to work a bit to get the zips done up.

I've been to several shops selling Gabor and Geox and all their boots are far too long.

Please help.

@MenaiMna I don't have wide feet. I just have normal width feet but wide calves.

Whoops sorry because you said the Duos were narrow on the foot I thought you had wide feet.. But jdwilliams (simply be, marosota) do standard foot with different calves.

Nono, just that the Duo boots were ridiculously narrow. I'm a normal width in practically any other brand.
