Knee high boots?

fendigal

Hi All,

Following on from the chat about knee high and over the knee boots for winter..i would love to get in on this trend but i find it very hard to get knee high boots to fit me calf's! has anybody any suggestions where i could pick up a nice pair that would have wider fitting,,obviously without costing a fortune. cheers

You could try Duo Boots who do wide fittings.

Have you tried Clarke's - they have a bit of room in them. Got a pair years ago and they lasted me 3 winters!

I have the same problem!! Damn muscular legs. I got a nice pair of plain black knee highs in Evans last year, and they are wider fitting. Most other places I try, they just won't zip up over the calf :-(

Yep thats my problem..i can get them up so far and then they wont budge. I mite try evans, i never think of evans. Iv looked on duo boots and they are fab but so expensive..i was hoping to pick up a pair for under 120 euros or that. Thanks for all the replies

Same problem here, disproportionately big calves:( (and wide feet) I have a few pairs of dr marten knee high boots (not the lace type btw) and they are a goodish fit but no extra room. Have a pair of Next wide fit boots-good, a pair of clarkes-good. Also a couple of pairs from New Look(they also do a wide fit) Also if you are looking for ugg type boots, skechers do a "spacious high" and a "spacious low" shearling boot, both have loads of room to spare on me and thats saying something! I got them on special on Amazon for about €25 each. Actually Amazon is a good place to look for boots, and the reviews often say whether they are wide fitting or not.

I have the same problem!

I also have disproportionately narrow ankles so boots don't sit right on me

Evans have some lovely boots at the moment though, I'd say definitely look there

Bought mine with Simply Be or one of them. Simply measure your calf with a measuring tape and they tell you whether you need E EE or EEE etc.

Almost all the knee boots on Next's site come in normal or wide fit, and are quite reasonably priced.

I was looking in Clarkes the other day and noticed the boots have wider fit versions.

New Look do a 'wide fit' shoe, so maybe they do something for boots?
Not to sure thought but worth checking out.

+ 1 for Evans and Simply be, also give M&S a go. I got a fab pait last year. thry do a wide calf on some boots.

Updating:
Mrs. Goat who usually has issues getting boots to fit was pleasently supprised by the new fittings of the boots in M&S. Obviously someone in their purchasing department realised that a bigger calf size boot means more sales.
Sadly it cost me oodles of cash as she bought two pair.

duo boots can at times be expensive - but they last.
I've currently got on a pair of plain black knee highs I bought from them 2 years ago - they are just like new. I have bought boots in evans and have had to throw them out after a few months, so sometimes its better to stump up the cash.

Also sign up for their newsletter, cos they have sales throughout the year.

Great information here, thanks.

I'm another one with wider calves than the standard fit.

I have seen the exact boots I want in the So Fabolous range in the Littlewoods catalogue.

I'm a size 5 maybe a 4 sometimes, slightly wide fitting foot and wide calves.

Of course buying boots online is a risk and I know I can return them.

Can anyone who has bought shoes / boots from So Fabulous advise
me on how much wider than standard fit they are

( I refuse to say wider than normal, because wider than the standard
fit, is pretty normal).
