I am about 5 ft tall, and I ordered some wide calf boots for my calf size but am afraid the shaft hide would look silly on me. 15 inch tall shaft would hit about 3/4in below the hinge of my knee, will this make the boot look silly? Could a shoesmith shorten the shaft? How high on the calf should a flat riding style knee boot come to?

I am 5ft10in tall, very slim and wear an 11. I have NEVER owned a pair of high boots. IF they come anywhere near fitting in the calf (my calf is just over 13in) then it is extremely loose in the ankle area. Trawling the net, I found www.fittedbootstore.com and they take your shoe size, ankle and calf measurements to make your boots. My only question for them is where do I measure for the ankle (above the bone or below)?? I emailed them and they didn't respond. If you know what/where they mean, then this is the place for you. I hope this helps someone out there. Just thought I would add to this discussion. I am 5ft10in tall, very slim and wear an 11. I have NEVER owned a pair of high boots.

Duo boots are great for calf sizes but you can't specify the ankle size. The smallest they carry in a high heeled boot runs between 25-27cm in the ankle. My ankles are 20cm and it looks ridiculous fitted nicely at the calf and then slouchy at the ankles for dress boots. :( Does anyone have a problem with skinny calves AND skinny ankles?

I am 5'3" tall and wear a size 9.5 to 10. There is no such thing as a perfect fit in the calf area for me. Believe me, I have tried and tried and have to settle for pretty good. I've had a pair of Coach boots in my closet for two years - the calves were ridiculously large. On Sunday night, I finally took my sewing machine to them (I have a leather machine) and took them in as much as I could - only 1/2" but it makes a huge difference visually. I figured at this point they were $500 wasted anyway so I had nothing to lose. The problem is that most boots cannot be taken in because of the seam-in construction. My Coach boots had one seam sewn out so I was able to just deepen it a little without skewing the center back seam too much. This is a terrible problem for me.

Haven't they ever heard of a person with wide feet but slender calves? Clearly the shoe width and the calf width should be kept separate from each other....I guess maybe there's a limit to how many variations they can manufacture, sigh.

In Toronto, if you are looking for boot calf alterations, Shoe Therapy (https://www.shoetherapy.ca/Boot_Calf_Fitting.html) can help narrow or widen the boot calf to fit. A perfect fit is guaranteed and they can alter up to 3-4 inches in width either through widening or narrowing. Cost is from $50 CDN and up. They make it look like the alterations are just part of the original boot design.
