They are beautiful, too. I've been eyeing them, not that I need a pair just like that, but you know...and I saw Nordstrom's had some on sale last week. Can't wait to see you in them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suggestions-for-fitted-boots-for-a-muscular-calf#post-479088 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 03:16:02 +0000 luxlady 479088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Found the perfect pair! ECCO Hobart Buckle 25 MM boots! They fit my calves perfectly, they loosen to tuck in jeans and tigten the buckles for tights! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suggestions-for-fitted-boots-for-a-muscular-calf#post-475687 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 03:38:05 +0000 annagybe 475687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Generally boots that fit with jeans tucked it will be too wide with tights, unless it's over 1/2 elastic. The consensus here is you need two pairs of boots, one for skirts and dresses and one for boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suggestions-for-fitted-boots-for-a-muscular-calf#post-475682 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 03:35:09 +0000 luxlady 475682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie, I am 5 feet 7 inches. All the "wide" boots are usually too wide to wear with tights but are great with jeans. I would love to find a pair to go with both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suggestions-for-fitted-boots-for-a-muscular-calf#post-475189 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 16:20:16 +0000 Angie 475189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah! A 16 inch circumference is probably what you are looking for. Or, a 15.5 inch with elastic insets on the calf area, </p> <p>These are are fairly easy to find. Perhaps what's more tricky is getting the shaft height right. What is your height luxlady? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suggestions-for-fitted-boots-for-a-muscular-calf#post-475108 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 14:18:33 +0000 luxlady 475108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Many thanks for the great suggestions, will be spending time today online looking for them all to see what may work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suggestions-for-fitted-boots-for-a-muscular-calf#post-474971 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 04:01:11 +0000 Suz 474971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel your pain. My calves are "only" 13.5 but I have endured the eye-rolling of sales people as I tried on tall boots in stores. Sigh...</p> <p>You might want to try this site: <a href="http://www.widewidths.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.widewidths.com/</a></p> <p>Even if you don't buy there, there is some interesting information about fitting boots there. </p> <p>My solution so far is trifold: </p> <p>1. One pair of Franco Sarto stretch boots. (Not leather) They are older so are not online now but they're the cousins of the boots Angie recently recommended: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/store/2011/11/06/franco-sarto-yonkers-stretch-boot/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/store/20.....etch-boot/</a></p> <p>2. One pair of Clark's that have a stretch panel in the back: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Clarks-Womens-Agulia-Bay-Black/dp/B003AOBPUW/ref=sr_1_7?s=shoes&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1322366531&#038;sr=1-7" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Clarks-W.....038;sr=1-7</a></p> <p>3. A pair of Timberland boots that have an adjustable buckle at the top of the calf; on the widest hole it fits with jeans; on the narrowest it fits with tights. </p> <p>In other words, adjustability is key to making it work. </p> <p>Good luck, and let us know what you find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suggestions-for-fitted-boots-for-a-muscular-calf#post-474800 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 23:30:36 +0000 Isis 474800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie recommended Aerosole Infamous for wider calves in an earlier blog post:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/10/25/fab-find-knee-high-boots-for-wide-calves/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2011/10/.....de-calves/</a></p> <p>The comments section has other suggestions too.

I have a pair in congac that forum member Tarzy recommended - I think I got them in 2008? - and they are still going strong. I lucked out and found them on Amazon for $55, but ever since then I've seriously considered duplicating them in black.</p> <p><a href="http://www.endless.com/dp/B001681A90/ref=asc_df_B001681A901797919?tag=googlecom09c9_endless-20&#038;creative=395033&#038;linkCode=asn&#038;creativeASIN=B001681A90&#038;sa=X&#038;ei=40jRToj-HqzRiALO-5y1BQ&#038;ved=0CIYBEMATMAA" rel="nofollow">http://www.endless.com/dp/B001.....IYBEMATMAA</a></p> <p>Clarks also has some good options for boots in around a 15" calf circumference. I have a pair of the Clarks Cardy boots - they are a tad too snug for me now that I've gained some weight and my calves are fuller than they were *sad face*, but I've been looking at some other options: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_p_n_feature_two_brow_mrr_2?rh=n%3A672123011%2Cp_4%3AClarks%2Cn%3A%21672124011%2Cn%3A679337011%2Cn%3A679380011%2Cp_n_feature_two_browse-bin%3A679483011&#038;bbn=679380011&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1322338680&#038;rnid=679481011" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr.....=679481011</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suggestions-for-fitted-boots-for-a-muscular-calf#post-474723 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 20:03:06 +0000 luxlady 474723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie, </p> <p>Thanks for the blog about 10 fitted boots for skinny calves....but us gals with "muscular" calves....have a similar problem. My calves are 15 1/2 inces from years of gymnastics. I honestly cannot find a beautiful pair of black riding boots that look good with skirts/dresses and jeans....Suggestions please!!!! </p>
