Anyone do biker style boots for larger calfs?

I've looked on Duo and they don't have any. My friend was throwing out her barely worn cholate biker ones - but I couldn't get the zip right up! boo hoo!

I had the simply b catalogue through and they had loads of boots, i assume they would be wider as the clothes are for 14plus

TracyK · 20/08/2010 17:35

ooh I'll have a look online.

I couldn't see any on simply Be, I'm looking for some too. Any other suggestions?

Mine are from Evans but that was 2y ago now! New look had some nice, wide ones in store yesterday, so may have online....

Or Tesco have a looveely pair right now in grey or black which fit me...and my calfs are mahoosive!

Milk - could you measure your calfs or is that too embarassing to see if there is any chance of the tesco boots fitting me? Mine are huaage too!

MilkNoSugarPlease · 22/08/2010 13:34

If I can find a tape measure I shall :o

They were still a bit snug and I didnt have jeans tucked in, but leggings would be ok I think!

Shall go find a tape measure!

Thanks milk! I'm thinking leggings or thick tights (eventually) - when I've lost a bit more weight! Jeans is just too ambitious Grin

I have 15" calves and I've got these boots which still have room for tights or leggings underneath. I had some Tesco ones a few years ago that were fairly generous too. I don't know how my calf size compares to the average but I've always had trouble finding boots to fit.

FatGirlThin · 22/08/2010 15:49

Tether - thanks for all the links but none of those are specifically wide calf ones! Some of them are wide fit (across the foot) but not wide calf Sad
Sweetnitanitro - Oooh I LOVE those! How high up do they come on you? I'm going to measure my calfs now!!
Keep looking Milk... Smile

sweetnitanitro · 22/08/2010 17:34

They are just a bit higher than mid-calf on me but I am on the short side Grin

BecauseImWorthIt · 22/08/2010 17:40

some Next ones that are wide fitting

FatGirlThin · 22/08/2010 17:41

LOL! I'm petite (ha, only in height) too Smile

You could try Duo Boots - they have a website and nice shops - I've been to the one in Bath. Evans also have wide fitting boots including some biker styles, with lots new in for winter. As I'm a wide wife, I get mine there.
