Skinny legs need knee boots!

I love these boots here by Duo but they don't have my size.
Have long skinny slim legs and lots of boots I've tried on look like wellies on me!

I want black suede, knee length, slouchy but rubber soled, not plastic soled...

My current ASOS boots have been brilliant in the wintry slippy weather, however I bought them in May in the sale and they were only £20. They have now been knackered by the salt and snow even after cleaning etc.

Please help, I live in my boots and have tried all day to find some under £70 and am failing miserably!!

Oh - doh - I'm a size 8 of feet.
Think calf size is 15 inches - 38cm?

buy boots you like, take them to a cobbler and get them to take them in on the back seam to fit your leg. That's what I do. 38 sounds like a lot. Mine are 33cm

I agree with Romanarama - have them taken in. I've done this and had skinny women stopping me on the streets in New York asking me where I got my boots. It's obviously a more common problem than people would think!

Also agree that 38cm can't be right. Mine are 31.

Gosh where do you find these magical cobblers? I asked one once and to take them in was going to be as much as a pair of boots themselves....

I've found my people! Mine are the same ifeelitall.

Can you wear dresses/skirts with confidence? I can't. I feel so self conscious. Least i've got legs like!
