Fat Calf Issue

6 replies

fluffyduckie · 02/01/2014 21:19

I have fat calves ... had a good inch and a half gap in some Tesco knee high boots. :(

I really want to wear dresses (with leggings underneath as I am Casper pale) but I struggle with what to put on my feet. Especially if it is raining.

I am 5'2 and walk about 25 minutes each way to work.

Oh and I am not well off!!

I really don't know what would look right.

I have dresses in this style - www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=12552&catalogId=33053&productId=12911580&categoryId=228107&parent_category_rn=226988

Evans sell wider calf boots. And I am sure there are others.

Duo boots.

Clarks are pretty good too, but I find that they don't have many wide fit boots in store and that I have to order on line. Some have up to 50% off in the sale.

I second DUO boots - they are dear, but really well made and will last your years. They currently have their 50% off sale on too.

Or look at DUO on ebay - as long as you know your calf circumference (measure with a tape at the widest point) you should be able to find something really nice and fits.

Fwiw, I feel your pain.

Asda had some knee high boots with a large elastic acted panel that stretch lots they fit my 39cm calves and my sisters 46cm calves. They were £45 and real leather. Also brought similar ones from m&s but they were closer to £100. Next do ones with large elastic panels and simply be do ones with calf fittings. First thing to do is measure your calves.

Damn you, now you made my look on ebay for DUO boots - there are loads
