Wellies for chunky legs?

[TeamSwitzerland]

Hi all, I am in need of a pair of wellies but all ones I try are too tight!! Does anyone know where I might get more generous wellies for a larger calf ? Many thanks xxx

Lurking with interest

If you want practical wellies, Muckboots are great as the neoprene top section stretches to whatever size your leg is

Do they need to be up to the knee?

I bought some mid-length hunters which fit great whereas the long ones won't go over my calfs. They're still pretty high and good enough for normal mud and puddles.

I have Ariat ones.

Try short wellies.
try big green farmer wellies.
try muckboots
Don't bother with hunter and other trendy wellies.

Huntress by hunter
Joules wellies quite generous also but not that hardcore

If you want cheaper wellies then Asda are quite wide.

Thanks for replies ladies, bloody, they don't need to be up to the knee. I like the joules patterns.. Are they generous around the calf? X

You need a wellie with an adjustable side gusset. I have Aigle, which are also a neat fit on the ankle.
Or something like this

Just put ladies wellies + adjustable gusset into Google and lots of makes come up.

Hi team yes I was suprised how generous the Joules ones were on the calf....

Hi only, the patterns are lovely with the little horses and things. Very trendy , thanks for all replies x

I have these:www.sportingkit.co.uk/wa/1/63/1895-Le-Chameau-Chasseurnord.html

They come in different calf widths. Not cheap by any means, but I wear them most days for 8 months of the year. I threw out the old pair after 14 years of wear

I've got the exact same boots as ishouldcocoa - expensive, but really comfy, well fitting, last for ages, and I wear them 11 months of the year in the mud wilderness that is my neck of the woods

I have huge calves - much bigger than my rugby playing OH's and I bought these these six months ago.

They are a bit shorter than standard wellies but I think they're a bit of a bargain at £22 and they have other patterns too.

Seasalt have some really lovely short wellies. Their longer ones always have an elasticated section at the back so may be good !

(Look under the "rain" section of their website).

I have Joules wellies and they fit very well on my tubby calves (approx 45cm). Would definitely recommend them.

I have these

I have some Crocs wellies which work well with larger calves.

This place specialises in wider calf wellies...

I'm surprised that the JOules ones fit wider calves, I found them quite small. If they are tight on the calf they bunch up round the ankles and are quite comfortable.

The lower calf one in any brand are good, usually high enough to cope with most puddles and muddy fields. MIne are from asda, fit as nicely now with average sized calves as they did when I was bigger with 44cm calves.

Joules definitely fit a chunky calf.I wear them and I'm definitely not coltish of leg!

Oh Fairylea I just got their catalogue and came to post Seasalt

They have short, longboat and tall wellies in different patterns and with pretty linings, £36-£40

seasalt have some

Town and Country willies fit my chunky calves. They also have an adjustable bit so I could make them wider if I wanted to!

here

they come in a range of colours.

Comfy and lasting well!

Now don't go blaming autocorrect Queen

Ooh I love wellies. I will probably still need to have my shin bone removed before they get anywhere near fitting. Then I could just stuff my floppy jelly legs into my wellies and the sheer tension inside my boots would keep me upright
