Muscular/slightly fat calves. Where can I find knee high boots?

[Shybairns]

That's it basically. I'd like some brown boots with a small heel or wedge. But all the one I've tried on I can only just get done up. Definitely no room for thick tights or skiiny jeans.

Anyone with larger calves had any luck?

I sympathise - I've got 'defined' calfs.

Duo makes wide-calf boots with plenty in brown.

Also the Hobbs Marion and Hobbs Cara have elastic side panels, which helps.

I sympathise, Shy as I have hefty calves and can rarely find boots to fit.

Duo make nice boots but the quality isn't great for the money. I've had several pairs and they only last a couple of seasons at most.

Clarks (yes, really!) do some wider fitting boots like these

Simply B?

Evans do them, but they do tend to be wide fitting. I bought some years ago and although I don't have wide feet, they were comfy. Sadly I don't think they will see another winter, but have lasted ages.

I have the same problem

Can second clarks

and if you have one near Diechmann (sp) I´m afraid it is a go and try it on job!

M&S has some lovely boots this year with a stretchy panel on the inside of the boot by the zip. Muscular calf, lovely fit, reasinable selection:

I second duo, pricey but well worth the money will last a good couple of winters at least.

Surprisingly, Doc Marten have some nice ones which are good for the larger of calf! Am lusting after the Haley.

Ooooh the Dr Martin ones are nice! I like the Haley too. Thanks

Gabor boots tend to be quite wide and they have lots of boots with adjustable straps.
