Knee length boots for skinny calves - BARGAIN!!!I

[KerryJ]

I am practically brimming over with joy at having found some amazing bargain boots, which actually fit my super freakishly skinny (31cm) calves!! Okay, I know there's Duo Boots, but for someone on a super tight budget these might just fit the bill...

Here they are

I got them in brown - they don't look great in the photo, but are lovely on, honest

[littleboo]

maybe i do choclatdot, they certainly seem on the larger size to me, shapely some might use, but certaining "skinnys not a word I'd use for mine"
Didn't mean to offend anyone, just looking at my calves and they always seemed chunky

[flightattendant]

49?? Blimey.
Mine are 32.5...sadly tapering off thighs that are a bit disproportionately...well, huge!!!!!

If only I was that skinny all over

[chocolatedot]

Well as Duo go from a 31cm calf measurement to 49cm, perhaps you need to think about your self-perception.

[littleboo]

sorry but my calves are 33cms and i always thought they looked huge

[KerryJ]

Jodie - you go, girl

But I bet your legs have SHAPE whereas mine just look like wasted little twigs with massive great feet stuck on the ends. Gross!!

Thank you for the links here - no more will my boots slap about my freaky calves.

Anyone know where you can get the equivalent for girls? DD is the skinniest minny you have ever seen - the only shape to her legs is her knees, poor thing.

I like my legs actually, I've been told they look nice a number of times. When I went out a couple of months ago in a dress some random bloke said I had nice legs

[KerryJ]

Blimey Jodie, even skinnier than mine. Do you know, I've even considered calf implants in the past I'm so embarassed about my legs.

[JodieG1]

I had to go and measure my calves then, mine are 30 cms.

I can't recommend Duo - I ordered some last year and although they were fine around my calf they were really baggy around my ankles so I had to send them back. Not sure I'd order from them again - wish they had a shop nearby so that I could try them.

Won't help anyone here, but I bought some gorgeous boots in Menorca this summer - they fit like a glove on my skinny legs!

[JackieNo]

Can't help with the skinny calves (I have the opposite problem), but yes, returns to Duo do cost an arm and a leg - I think it was about £6. But if you are near/can get to Bath or London, they have shops there - and more opening in Edinburgh and Manchester.

[KerryJ]

Oh, heaven help me, I'm in love

[chocolatedot]

Thanks KerryJ, I'm going to order some La Redoute ones too. I just can't quite take the plunge with Duo, they are expensive and they don't do half sizes. If I'm spending that much, I#d really like to try them first.

[KerryJ]

Tatties, both of those look nice - can't believe I didn't see those before!! La Redoute really are a life saver at the mo and have some lovely Autumn/Winter stuff in their collection. I feel a grand shopping spree coming on.

Chocdot, I don't know of any retailers other than Duo who cater for varying calf widths. I did find another site once which did the same styles as Duo but were slightly cheaper (will try to find link). Got the Duo newsletter today and apparently they have new styles available, but haven't looked yet.

Out of interest, have any of you with slim calves ever ordered from them, and what did you think? I've been tempted lots in the past but their returns policy puts me off (you have to pay the postage, which I would guess to be fairly pricey on a pair of heavy boots, particularly with tracking / insurance).

[flightattendant]

I can't link but got the marbled ones in 'beige'...109 reduced to 76 with a code!!!

F&Z...love your cons!

[FrannyandZooey]

The first pair the OP linked to are fine for me, Tatties

[Tatties]

Ah bugger my feet aren't particularly narrow either

[FrannyandZooey]

I tried both of those Tatties but they were too narrow for my feet

flat feet and skinny calves - great

[chocolatedot]

This is fab - I'm another string bean. Out of interest, does anyone know other retailers (besides Duo) who do slim stretchy boots? Boden, LK Bennett, Jones etc are miles too big for me.

[Tatties]

Like these too...

[Tatties]

I like the look of these - voila! I can never tell what they'll look like on though...

[Tatties]

I was just going to start a thread about boots (skinny calves here too)
Thank you for links

[KerryJ]

Wow - fantastic site and there's quite a bit more I want to order so they'll come in handy!!

NineUnlikelyTales glad the link proved useful - it can be pretty depressing to be a skinny calved minnie as every store seems to do wide fitting boots, but none for us!!

[FrannyandZooey]

can't find it but loads on here

[FrannyandZooey]

sorry should have said I used a 20 or 25% off code - will hunt for it
