All expensive brands. I haven't tried scrunch boots. I have tried boots with elastic gores in back and I am not bothered by the look when I tuck jeans. I am tall, not petite, around 5'9". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-1371053 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 03:10:57 +0000 rachylou 1371053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah. I got me some toothpicks. And I've decided I'd like some over the knee boots. I don't have high hopes. I'm thinking I'll have to save my pennies. My knee boots cost and took a long search. They have buckles at the top... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-1369577 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 04:50:13 +0000 em2014 1369577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Gigi,<br />Hi Gigi! Unfortunately, I can't comment on&nbsp;the quality/comfort/etc because&nbsp;I haven't bought a pair&nbsp;yet as it's not in my budget, but when I do I'll let you know. Honestly,&nbsp;I'm kind of hoping that a petite blogger will buy &amp; review it, &amp; I will wear it vicariously through them until I can afford my own! ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>From bopping about around the web, it seems that the brand, Aquatalia, is of good quality. A&nbsp;common complaint is that they're too narrow in the calf--so what regular-calf-sized-ladies deem an issue may be a boon for us! :)&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.extrapetite.com/2013/11/riding-boots-for-short-and-narrow.html">This</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://littlecontessa.blogspot.com/2013/12/review-aquatalia-unity-perfection.html">this</a> blogger did a review on their boots.</p> <p>As for Duo, yes, I've heard of them, too! However,&nbsp;it seems like reviews are mixed so I won't be ordering from them.</p> <p>Happy browsing! :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-1355017 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 03:26:52 +0000 deb 1355017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aquatalia boots are the only brand that really fit me perfectly. They are pricy but they are water proof and will last a long time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-1355009 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 02:54:44 +0000 thimblelina 1355009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The frye tall campus without zippers is pretty narrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-1354882 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 00:02:17 +0000 Gigi 1354882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the link, em2014! I have 12" calves, and yes, it's impossible to find knee-high boots. I had heard of Duo being a company that makes custom boots, but I didn't know about Poppy and Barley. I like the more classic styles of Poppy and Barley. Yes, they're expensive, but it's not crazy expensive. It's about what I would be willing to pay for a good-quality custom boot.</p> <p>Do you think the boots are comfortable? Is there much cushioning inside? Do they keep your feet and legs warm? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-1354871 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 23:41:16 +0000 em2014 1354871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey fellow slim-calfed ladies!</p> <p>My calves measure 11.5" (!) &amp; I'm 5' 6.5", so finding good&nbsp;knee-high, calf-hugging boots has been like the most impossible game of where's Waldo! Lol. &nbsp;I just came across this brand called&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://poppybarley.com/">Poppy &amp; Barley&nbsp;</a>that makes boots custom for your calf size. They run at about $450, so pricey but most likely worth it given the struggle to find something that fits properly.</p> <p>The leather seems like it's pretty good quality. Personally, I'm not crazy about the logo being&nbsp;stamped into the leather near the heel, nor am I smitten with the exposed stacked wooden heel on the heeled versions; I also think the (color of the)&nbsp;soles for the flat boots work for some styles&nbsp;but not others. The pluses: nice classic styles &amp; customizable calf widths.</p> <p>But anyway, just wanted to alert you ladies of this new find. Please message me if you do order it. I'd love to hear how it fits! :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-234664 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 02:57:13 +0000 catgirl 234664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just posted a couple - one lists an 11.5 circumference! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-234659 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 02:55:24 +0000 Reneeb 234659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you every tried lace up boots? Miz Mooz has some boots that lace up from the bottom to the top not just for looks. My friend had the same problem and she likes them. She can make them as tight as she wants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-234611 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 02:24:47 +0000 Mo 234611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 12 1/4" to 12 1/2" calves and recently got some flat riding boots through Amazon. They said 14" in circumference but I found they actually touched my bare calves all the way around so much closer to 13" in real life. There is a stretch part of the gore that still allows room for pants or leggings, etc. They are very simple boots (which is what I was looking for) with no adornments. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Santana-Womens-Penny-Boot-Coffee/dp/B00171TESU/ref=sr_1_7?s=gateway&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1284955744&#038;sr=8-7" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Santana-.....038;sr=8-7</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-234573 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 01:59:12 +0000 Angie 234573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't forget to try slouch boots. They work like a charm! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-234504 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 01:08:32 +0000 Maya 234504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stuart Weitzman makes pretty skinny boots, but they are expensive. I have 2 pairs, both of which I got on sale (you can see one pair in another thread I just posted). They are 12" with stretch fabric backing and adjustable buckles at the top. I guess they do scrunch a bit at the ankles, but after trying on another pair of boots that don't, I am not bothered by it. They would scrunch even if they were leather all the way around, and I learned that without scrunch, I can't walk properly. The boots I tried recently that were stiff and structured through the ankle were really uncomfortable.</p> <p>If you're interested in OTK boots, these are very narrow:</p> <p><a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=57183&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=812261&#038;scid=812261002" rel="nofollow">http://piperlime.gap.com/brows.....=812261002</a></p> <p>I'm afraid I have no more constructive advice. It's easier for me because I'm at the wide end of narrow (13"), but it's still very, very hard, and only gets harder as your calves get smaller </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-234485 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 00:40:20 +0000 Melody 234485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you have a shoe repair shop or cobbler in your area, they can *easily* take up your boots. That's what my sister has done. I've wondered if an upholstery shop could do it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-234464 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 00:17:59 +0000 beebe 234464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I actually measured my calves. 11 1/2 inches !!! skinny minny.</p> <p>I have a question about the leather boots with the elastic back. Doesn't it look<br /> funny when you have jeans or pants tucked in and the pant fabric gets crunched up<br /> and it shows under the back elastic ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-234444 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 23:44:20 +0000 beebe 234444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks. I have Googled boots for narrow calves every year! It is so frustrating. I will search here for sure !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-234441 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 23:39:36 +0000 April 234441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beebe -- you're in such good company here. We have had a zillion threads on this extremely frustrating issue. Try searching skinny calf or calves and narrow calf or calves and you'll find tons of suggestions, commiseration, and -- unfortunately -- heartbreak. It seems to be one of the hardest things to find in a reasonable price range. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-234439 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 23:37:28 +0000 Marigold 234439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's the circumference of your calves? I can relate, mine are 12.5 or so and I have yet to find boots narrow enough to wear with leggings or skirts, what I found is that slouch boots work for me better - they slouch so don't have to be exactly fitted. But knee high boots, no luck here. I know though that some of the high-end brands are great for narrow calf, but I don't know which ones.... I'm sure others will chime in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-for-thin-legs#post-234435 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 23:28:10 +0000 beebe 234435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can never find knee high boots that come close to fitting. Every boot I try on looks like I have a pair of fishing waders on - tons of gaping space at the top. Any ideas? I bought a pair of flat riding boots last year and I look stupid in them, even with jeans tucked in. I wonder if a good shoe repair could "take them in" for me. </p>
