boots and skiny legs

Does anyone have any suggestions about where I can get long boots that don't look like wellies on my skiny legs? I would love a new pair and am having no luck finding any. Thanks

I have the same problem. I'm now wondering if its possible to have boots alerted to take them in. That would open up a while range of possibilities.

Duo!

Yes, duo boots! Sold by calf width in centimeters.

Duo do boots to a variety of calf fittings however having had several pairs from there the quality is not very good as they don't last (had heels snap/soles come off after less than 6 months occasional wear on two different pairs/styles).

Jones now do some boots in a slim fitting. My everyday long boots are from there and they're comfortable and lasting well.

Some Russell & Bromley ones are good but you have to pick carefully (and they're £££)

fly london boots are slender

It seems to depend on what size your feet are...I compared them in M&S and the size 3 pairs had a much narrow calf fitting than the size 7. Don't manufacturers get that just because my legs are like sticks it doesn't mean my feet are small?!

I eventually got a pair of kids boots. Took ages to find a pair though. They're still a teeny bit baggy but much better. I wear size 5 though so depending on shoe size maybe not an option. Used to have a pair of Fly boots that were good too
