Goddamn knee high boots won't go over fat calves...

[Sophiev73]

The calves on my leg, not in the field, obviously. Hang my head in shame. I really really want knee highs and don't like the fabric ones, want gorgeous leather ones, preferably brown. Help me please!

Thanks so much for these links-have just ordered
these

piffle which duos do you have?

Ooh, they are lovely WitchICouldGiveUpWork! And a bit of a bargain to boot (ha ha!) Might have to order a pair myself.

I like those Fiona ones, but I'm not a wide fit, do they come in standard widths too ?

bundle I have the duo ravennas, flat, soft and soooo comfy onto my 2nd winter in them

Wow, the ravennas look great - are they too bulky to go under trousers?

I have wide feet and the duo ones fit fine for me. A have two pairs of flat ones but neither are in the catalogue this year

piff I am thinking Malmos, though the Ravennas are nice

but WHY are knee-high boots made so narrowly usually? Surely hardly anyone fits into them?

Bundle, ordered the Malmos this week. They are gorge, but the ones that matched the size of calf I measured (a hefty friesan) were too tight. Ordered next calf size up and found the actual foot part was way too big.

Don't know if I am just an odd size (well I do know that but don't like to dwell on it) or if I got sent a dodgy pair, but what I do know is that it cost me £14.80 at the PO this morning to send both back.

Yes - that's the problem with Duo - it does cost loads to send them back if they're not right. I'd love to visit them either in Bath or at their new place in London.

must carefully measure my heifer calves

new place in london? thought they were only in the provinces...

Yes - in Savile Row (scroll down a bit on that page)- only just opened there. I think they stock one of every size, and you go and try on, then order and they deliver to you, as if you'd ordered online or over the phone.

thanks jackieno, that's really helpful

Thanks cece-think I may have to have a trip to Saville Row.

Ggirl-didn't think Next did wide fit-must look more closely when am next in there.

Oh bum - I have no self control !! I've just ordered the black Reese boots from the Emotions website !!! I so did not NEED another pair of boots !!! Fortuntely dh never notices what I'm wearing - and they are an investmnet as work wear aren't they ??
