Boots to fit chunky calves!

I can’t be the only one having this problem.

It’s time to buy this year’s knee length biker boots but can’t find any to fit my right leg. By that I mean I can’t get the zip more than half way up. I know I have big calves and obviously my right one must be bigger.
Last year I managed to find some at Tu in Sainsbury’s which had elasticated bands up the side. Wore them to death and have now binned them.
I’ve tried Next, M&S, all the supermarket clothing ranges and don’t know where else to look.

Am getting fed up. Any ideas please?

Try Yours or Simply Be. Both online and have some stores too.

Try duo boots. Expensive but omg so worth it.

oh tay I wish you hadn't posted that - just had a look and they are gorgeous!! Are they comfy?

Duo, now called something else and even more expensive. They have different calf measurements. Very expensive, but comfortable.

Duo Boots, definitely.
They were rebranded to Ted and Muffy , but now back as Duo Confused

Fabulous quality boots, will do any calf width, and in the sale actually good value for money.

I have the same problem, big calves but small feet. Got some great knee highs from Simply Be last year, they do multiple calf widths in a ranges of styles and prices. Also Duoboots (which was called Ted & Muffy for a bit but now is Duoboots again) great range but mega pricey.

Another one for duo I have had some of mine for years and love them.

By big calves, just how big are we talking here. 40cm plus? I really need some boots but mine are 44cm :(

TricksyLiesmith · 21/09/2017 23:24

Duo boots are amazing . Very comfortable but not the cheapest

PaperdollCartoon · 22/09/2017 08:45

SheRaaargh yes mine are 40cm, simplybe and duoboots go up to at least 44cm if not more.
