Small feet/ wide calf combo: boot suggestions plesse?

7 replies

springchickennolonger · 23/08/2014 08:37

I have small feet (3) and massive calves. I love boots but struggle to get the right combination of:

comfy heels about 6 cm high.
calf height.
wide, wide calves.

I'm only 5'3 and look dumpy in ankle boots. Knee high boots swallow my legs up. I need height, comfort and leg width.

Am I asking for the moon on a stick?

I like Fly but doubt I'd get them up my legs,

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Do you have an X Catalogue shop in your town? I know they can be a bit grim and you have to wade through the dross but when it comes to winter boots I find some real gems every year because they seem to stock up on the wide calf fittings.
The ones I'm wearing right now were from there and were originally priced at £70 but cost my £16

Have you tried Duo? They do boots in different calf fittings. I haven't Houghton from them recently but in the past found them to be good quality. I had an issue with some of the styles as I have largest calves but small ankles so they looked quite baggy.

These Fly Yust boots have a lace up bit at the top as well as a full length zip so have accommodated my wide calves with room to spare. Also v comfy!

Definitely DUO, but they are investment boots.

Thanks all. I like the look of those Yusts particularly.

Pretty Small Shoes can customise boots for different calf widths. I've been using them for years, they are great.

I'm the same height and shoe size as you and got mine from the shoe tailor. They were quite reasonable. They have a concealed elasticated panel and adjustable fastening at the back so I could wear them whilst losing weight.
