Try here . Apparently you order by normal size and your calf measurement.

I have spent my life hiding receipts and bank statemnets and saying.. "This old thing had it for year, just don't wear it very often"

Why is it that knee high boots are made for people with stick legs? I don't consider myself to be overweight (well only a few pounds) but always have trouble getting knee highs over my legs. Went out shopping for some of those new slouch boots the other day and it took me ages to find some that fitted. It's quite embarrassing when you've got the stick thin sales assistant watching. Bought some in the end that look like something my nan used to wear, but they're really comfy! A friend of mine always used to get her knee boots from Evans even though she is only a size 10.

Interesting the only pair of boots I ahve got to get over my calfs were from top shop although they were slouch ones so had a bit more material.

I bought some canvassy ones from Next which I can get on but they keep slipping down. The ones in evans are a bit too wide for me although that was last year and I have gone up a dress size since then

Marks' do extra wide leg fit but they aren't the funkiest boots in the world. But the ones recommended by freckle are fab, ordering two pairs - so no food for a week but let them eat cake!
