Very practical for those muggy rainy sloshy days.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disappointed-3#post-1940358 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 10:45:36 +0000 Gail 1940358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Gigi I have some Via Spiga boots that fit well and some Clarks that work as they have buckles. I think that you are right I'm going to have to spend more &nbsp;money and perhaps have a pair made. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disappointed-3#post-1940238 Sun, 22 Jul 2018 20:14:34 +0000 Gigi 1940238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that the LC Polly will be too big for your calf also, judging by the measurements on the Nordstrom site. :(</p> <p>You can search for narrow-calf boots on the Nordstrom site, under "Calf Width."</p> <p>It is tough! I have a 12" calf and have pretty much given up. I will probably have to have a custom pair made, but I haven't found any boot designs that I like. I have a pair of Cole Haans and a pair of Aquatalias. The Aquatalias are a little too high in the shaft for me, which makes the calf look too big. As&nbsp;<b>Joy&nbsp;</b>mentioned, if the shaft is too high, the boots won't fit properly at the top.</p> <p>You had mentioned the LC Pollys being over $500. IMO, if you find that you are very hard to fit, $500 is not too much to pay for a good pair of boots, because you will wear them lots and lots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disappointed-3#post-1940142 Sun, 22 Jul 2018 13:32:05 +0000 Gail 1940142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are another pair of La Canadienne (Polly) that I like but not in the sale and are over $500 :(&nbsp;<br />Returning the others today. I thought about keeping but realized that I would be settling and I need to stop doing that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disappointed-3#post-1939922 Sat, 21 Jul 2018 15:22:28 +0000 Angie 1939922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought these last year for my 13 inch calves and they fit extremely well. Keep on trying the brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disappointed-3#post-1939914 Sat, 21 Jul 2018 15:06:07 +0000 Suz 1939914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same problem Joy has. I need a 14 or 15 inch height and a 13.5 inch width. It's not easy to find. Fitting tall boots is one of my biggest frustrations. I do own a few pair -- La Canadienne and Aquatalia from last year. I would try some different La Canadiennes. The styles do vary.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disappointed-3#post-1939750 Sat, 21 Jul 2018 02:19:16 +0000 Anonymous 1939750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gail I feel your pain and have the same problem. Last year at NAS I got lucky with a similar style aquatalia boot...I also have ECCOs with strap and buckle at the top and ankle that I have had extra holes added, so they can be tightened to fit both at the ankle and calf. Strangely they may be advertised for wide calves.<br /> You may be short from ankle to knee so that knee high boots do not hit your leg at the right spot to fit. A shoe SA explained that that is part of my problem. I need a 14-15 inch high shaft, not 16 inches as most are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disappointed-3#post-1939746 Sat, 21 Jul 2018 02:12:45 +0000 Angie 1939746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gail, I KNOW. The Aquatalias were not nearly as slim in the calf as they usually are. </p> <p>The La Canadiennes were slimmer. Still too wide? What a shame. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disappointed-3#post-1939739 Sat, 21 Jul 2018 02:01:46 +0000 Gail 1939739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered two pairs of boots see finds below. I had high hopes that at least one pair would fit. Both pairs were too large around my ankles and also in the top of the leg. I have a lot of trouble with boots . Not sure what to try next. On a happier note the Kut from the Kloth plaid pants fit me perfectly and are keepers ! </p>
