@ skinny calves.

thansk for teh tip, i have ordered a pair on the strength of your recomendation good price and free postage

How high are they? I struggle to find boots that are long enough that fit round the ankle

mrsmaidamess · 29/12/2008 16:15

They come up to about 2 inches below the knee. I have just shopped for 3 hours in mine and they were comfy (for highish boots) Because they have the gathered panel running down the side of the boot, the ankle fit is very good (I have ankles like twiglets, and they lok fine on)

kristingle, I hope you like them!

Duo do boots for skinny calves as well as fat ones AFAIK

I@ve just bought these and they're fab. They don't bag round my skinny legs and actually cling where they're meant to!

However, I've forgotten how to walk in heels without falling over and snapping my twiglet ankles...

I'm actually considering getting another pair to keep for when my ones wear out.

Is that sad?

i thought i woudl risk it on your expert recomendation as they are postage free and i can return them to the local shop if they dont fit so no cost.

wel technically i guess the cost would be the loss of the 0.00000001% interest charge that HSBC pay on my current account

those ones look great but the heel looks a bit high for me...

I have been searching for some boots for a while now, and I have been recomended DUO on here...
i fancy something like this
