caitlinsmom Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) I have small calves (and short legs) and find that most nice dressier boots are made for women with bigger ones. They bag on me and look horrible! Anyone have a suggestion on what brand works with small legs? I dont want to spend a fortune but I have been searching for 2.5 years with no luck. If I have too I will spend what I must. :) I have very few stores available to me so internet shopping is the way I must go. I like the shaping of this boot. I am not a fan of rounded toes and I am not opposed pointier toes either. I like a heel that isnt too small or those flat rectangular heels.

JillZ Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I don't have any help, but I'm here to commiserate with you! I can never find knee high boots that fit around my (relatively) skinny shins. It seems like with all the super-skinny models out there, there should be some boot that fits. Right? What do they wear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Endless and Zappos both do free shipping (*very* fast) and returns. Last year when I needed boots and didn't have time to shop, I ordered six or eight pair, tried 'em all on, and just kept one. (Conveniently, the pair that was on sale was my favorite!) I can't remember which company I used for that purchase, but dh and I have ordered from both with good experiences. I think one (or both?) of them even has a delayed payment option, so you can try without even paying for a few days (which gives you time to return the ones you don't want)...

Tabrett Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Try "stretch" boots. They are made of a synthetic leather that stretchs so they fit tight around the calf. I have 2 pairs. They don't "stretch" on my calf, but fit just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Once upon a time I heard about a company that makes boots with your leg/foot measurements. I can't remember now. If I had extra money I'd buy a pair of custom boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cera Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 J Crew regular boots seem to have a smaller calf measurement (they offer an extended calf size so their original isn't as large as some other companies). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitlinsmom Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Try "stretch" boots. They are made of a synthetic leather that stretchs so they fit tight around the calf. I have 2 pairs. They don't "stretch" on my calf, but fit just right. These are the ones that I gravitated toward because I assumed they would fit better. LOL these bag the worst, especially around the ankle. Thanks for the other suggestions I will go check them out. I looked at Nordstroms yesterday as they have a search feature that can narrow down by calf size. They didnt have much to offer but gave me some good ideas anyway. Thanks everyone. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
