Knee length boots for narrow calves

Any suggestions for where to get these? They are for my slim 15 year old daughter, so I don't want to spend a fortune, but most boots are just too wide and look like wellies on her. Thanks

Duo Boots but they’re not cheap.

I have the same issue. So far I've either gone for stretchy materials or to Russel and Bromley

I have this problem and wear thick leg-warmers with them.

Ah good to see Duo have gone back to DUI after that awful foray into Muffy & Ted or whatever it was!

I have bought pairs in LK Bennett. But they were expensive.
Also got to fab over the knee boots from Zara not high healed. They were v reasonable and slim fitting. Kind of stretchy material but not 90s looking. I think they do a boot like that every season -am not in UK though.

I forgot - I also have three pairs of these ones www.dunelondon.com/pixie-d-button-detail-leather-knee-high-boots-tan-0089501020003511.html?glCountry=GB&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsZKJBhC0ARIsAJ96n3V_w6VlCvv69nyUhBwf2TJXbmIcWWUkiel0eFGMcy2egT2uopgcgs0aAp4MEALw_wcB

I love the way they look and they hug my calves very nicely. Not very cheap though.

Jones do slim fit knee length boots. I have had a few pairs from them in the past and they fit really well.

Clarks over the knee boots are slim, I also have three pairs of gabor knee high boots which are slim fitting, not sure if they still do the same ones, but its worth alook.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm a bit stuck really as I can't justify the price of those boots while her feet are still growing and the chances are she'll only get one winter out of them (I've never spent that much in my own boots even!)

At 15 her feet aren't likely to get much bigger.

I have really skinny calves and most boots look and feel like wellies on me. I go exclusively for lace-up boots now, with a long zip up the side. I've bought my last 2 pairs on ebay - filter by boots and lace up - have a look for an idea of manufacturers.

I got some nice ones from Pavers

Fly boots? Not cheap though.
