Hunter wellies + chunky calves...

[SilverLining]

.....am I fighting a losing battle???

Thanks! X

Yes. They don't fit me and the men's ones don't fit DH.

As I feared! Thanks though!

Have you tried the hunteress ones?

try town and country ones, they look similar, have a wider leg and are cheaper!

Yes definitely fighting a losing battle. Problem with the Huntress ones, is that they look like fat-leg wellies, and even worse, everyone knows you are only buying them because you have fat calves. There you are, wanting to be all Kate Moss festival chic, and you look like you're wearing men's wellies cause that's all they had left

I have v fat calves and Fulton are the ones I wear - although shop around as I've seen those same wellies for under £20!

you need these!!!!!!!

Fighting a losing battle. Huntress aren't wide enough for me either. You could go for those lace up ones, but they look a bit odd. I've gone Town and Country instead.

i have some short hunters and fat calves.

Muck boots are the answer.

get short ones. they work

fab - thanks everyone! And DH particularly happy with the saving money option!!!!! X

Have a look around wellieboots.com. These Le Chameau Chasseur Ladies Wellington Boots are astonishingly expensive but may be worth every penny.

I have big calves and the neoprene lined hunters fit perfectly.

Aigle ones work for me.

I've got a pair of the standard men's Le Chameaus(x?) in a size bigger than normal to allow for thick socks and jeans. Have always been of fashionably slender calves that don't even touch the sides of wellies.

cheap boots - cut tops off/roll top down.

I second Aigle, mine have leg gussets and a walking boot tread and are ace!
