Knee high boots too short

Can anyone help with this…the websites never show how long the boots are and they all come too short on me as I have long legs.
i just want knee high flat boots which are long enough !

I’m sorry, but as a very short person with thickset peasant-type legs, I cannot find it in my heart to empathise with your plight 😂.
Being serious, have you ever taken a tape-measure into a high st shoe shop and measured the length of the boots? They are probably a standard size. Also, boots looking slight short on longer legs is a really cool look imo.

😂 as another stumpy legged shortie, I came on to say the same as Kitty. I call stealth boast.

Looking for boots shown on models will help - models all have long legs so if they come up to the knee on them, they will on you

Have you tried somewhere like long tall sally?? Or maybe duo boots do lengths as well as widths??

You need Duo Boots

You need Duo Boots

They do calf measurements and tall and petite and regular sizes

I have the same problem. I got some from Stuart Weitzmann via Brand Alley had to pay with Klarna as so expensive but they are long enough. Gonna checduok know tho

I feel your pain@Socksrus I have smallish feet for my height and knee length boots always stop at the fattest part of my calf and look like I'm wearing the wrong size. I'm a size 4.5, but accidentally picked up a size 7 boot to try on once and wouldn't you know, the bloody thing did reach my knee. The bigger the foot size, the longer the boot length. Of course this it useless information, as there's nothing that can be done about it 🙁

Coolblur · 16/11/2024 23:39

My problem is the calf size, big feet, skinny legs. What size feet do you have? The bigger your feet, the longer and wider the boots.
Interested to read any recommendations.

Shortie here, also the bane of my life. Zalando is good for this as it offers the Bootleg height in the size and fit section.

LadyChilli · 17/11/2024 07:43

Same problem here, along with skinny calves. Duo boots are good, and I've had luck with Reiss as well. Pretty much all other boots stop several inches under my knee which never looks right.

Duoboots are great, as previously mentioned.
Alternatively, if you are size 7 or more, try Long Tall Sally:

Length not specified but they are designed for 5ft 9+ women. I got some bargain leather flat boots from them a couple of years ago which are still going strong.
