Knee length boots for skinny calves

8 replies

We had a thread on here last year about boots for skinny calves, with great success (I was posting as KerryJ at that time).

I haven't been able to find any this year (last year La Redoute / Verbaudet came up trumps). So, oh skinny legged ones, any inspiration, other than Duo boots?

I had skinny calves once [looks wistful] and usually found that LKBennett boots fitted perfectly. These ones look even more exceptionally skinny topped than normal:

They have oodles of others if you don't like those.

Crikey, those are all v.nice supergirl. If only I could afford them!

Camper (from Jones the Bootmaker) always have lovely boots I can't buy because the calves are too skinny!

Have you looked at Duo boots on line? You can get boots made to measure and the prices are pretty good.
Havent used them myself but they have good reputation.

Thanks all...will take a look at these suggestions

I really have super skinny calves (30-31cm circumference) and find it a real bind. I wish these sites would state the circumference in the boot info, it'd make my life much easier!

I'm a DUO veteran having got 3pairs. If you fancy a particular style, ask me first as I have tried most of them on in the shop and they all have a different fit- some are big for the size etc.

I always find boots are too big round my calves but have just bought a lovely pair of black ones from Barratts. They were £90 & have an adjustable bit round the side. Love them more than is healthy.
