Winter boots for really slender calves

13 replies

Lovemenorca · 14/11/2019 06:21

My legs are twiglet like and look like they’re swimming in boots.
I’d really like some boots with a very slim Calves fitting.
Two pairs...
Knee and mid-calve

Any suggestions please?

Duo boots come in calf sizes, but they're quite expensive.
I've never tried them myself, but would like to.

By Far boots are really lovely ankle (quite high up the ankle)boots. They're narrow on the feet and ankle but quite expensive.

I have the same problem and haven't found any knee boots yet.... I just look like i'm wearing wellies.

The best pair of boots I have that fit my calf's well are actually uggs. But not the fluffy type - these are brown leather with a fab (if treacherous) heel. I've never seen anything like them in the high street stockists - I found them by chance in an ugg outlet store!

I have the same problem .
I stumbled across a Boden pair that are fabulous ( normally give them a wide berth but the boots were gorgeous )

Just bought flat black suede over the knee boots from zara. (Mentioned in another post sorry to go on)
They are fab. Very slim fitting. Also have thin calves. Don't think they will be super warm...
If your feet are small enough try childrens boots. I have few pairs and they always fit well and are made slightly slimmer

I have the same problem, I have a pair of Duo boots i bought from Ebay. I also have a pair of Clarkes lace up Victorian style boots that are not too bad, they aren't as good a fit as Duo though.

Lovemenorca · 14/11/2019 13:20

In terms of sizing - do duo come up small large or true to size?

Thanks

I often buy kids boots which seem slimmer. Fly are also slim around the calves.

Ha ha
There's no way I could wear children's boots.

I have a pair of startrite boots that fit my skinny calves very nicely!

I’m a 4-some of them fit well!

Try Dune
I’ve also had narrow calf fit boots from tkmaxx usually either Italian or Brazilian brands

I've just bought some fly London boots. They are nice and snug around my skinny calves!
