Just wanted to post because I have been searching for a long time for calf length or knee high leather boots for my succulent calves.
Well I found some. Real leather, black or brown and they fit lovely and are also very comfy.

Ladies here they are < drum roll >

Lovely boots

What is your calf measurement/ foot size?

VivaLeBeaver · 12/02/2012 20:01

I've just been looking for some today funnily enoug.

Yy, I need to know if they will fit a 42cm calf. Blush

Also if I'm size 5.5 do I need a 5 or a 6?

Thanks

My foot size is somewhere between a 7 and a half and a eight. I think they come up slightly large or perhaps the leather is very soft and a little stretchy so don't order big.

The lace at the back is adjustable from about half way up ie when your calf expands.

My calf is 45 cm (17 and a half inches) and they fit perfectly. The laces can be tightened. I think there is little way to make it bigger perhaps by a couple of centimeters.

Have ordered some, thanks. Just realised I have some tamaris ankle boots and they are comfy.

These knee boots are slightly cheaper on amazon than eBay but they don't have all sizes in.

When I bought mine ( three weeks ago now) they were cheaper on ebay but I did check amazon and a couple of other websites too.

happy wearing Grin

Thats impressive, getting your dh to find stuff for you.

I can't get mine to come into town with me never mind scour the likes of ebay.

My boots turned up today, they do fit but just. I had to slacken the laces at the back quite a bit. Blush

They are comfy and look nice though, maybe slightly shorter than what I was expecting but I like.

I had to do lots a little slackening too and then a little tightening after I had worn them a couple of times.

And my dh loves shopping especially ebay Grin
