I love them but do beware and take each boot style on its own merits - read reviews and email questions; they're very helpful. Some boots seem to be high quality, others have issues that turn up in reviews. I wish I had asked them about the shoe sizing as I bought a 39 that feels like a 40 - at least! (I've fixed it with an insole, but will ask more questions in future!)</p> <p>Lilli from <a href="http://frocksandfroufrou.com/" rel="nofollow">http://frocksandfroufrou.com/</a> has bought a few pairs (where I heard about Duo) so might be worth searching her posts.</p> <p>I actually have average sized calves but there's nothing like wearing boots that hug your calf perfectly, which is why I will shop at Duo again!</p> <p>Also they arrived in a couple of days... to Australia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duo-boots-experience#post-416354 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 23:40:04 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 416354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jay, thanks for the pointer - I am in the US so that's helpful. Getting dinged by customs appears to be random hit-or-miss, from what I've heard of people's tales. I'd just love to buy some boots that are well-made, last for a long time, and that will fit me. That's not too much to ask, is it? (ha!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duo-boots-experience#post-416139 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 15:13:55 +0000 Anonymous 416139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a pair two years ago, and I do love them, BUT I also got charged an additional $80 or so dollars in customs, on top of the boots and the shipping, which certainly made me cringe! From what I could tell online, not everyone gets the customs charge, but it's never a happy surprise if you do.</p> <p>Have you seen <a href="http://www.widewidths.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.widewidths.com/</a>? If you could find something in America (pardon my assumption if you're not American!) you like, I'd really recommend that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duo-boots-experience#post-416092 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 10:51:13 +0000 ButterflyLady 416092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of Duo boots which I bought about 8 or 9 years ago - still going strong (I'm in the UK, by the way). I found them to be very helpful with regard to working out sizing.</p> <p>I do think they are expensive, but I've certainly had value for money for mine, if you consider the cost per wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duo-boots-experience#post-416066 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 06:51:18 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 416066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I knew that - I knew that the gal who writes Wardrobe Oxygen is a fan, but not Angie. Thanks for the heads-up. Now to convince myself that 200 bucks for a pair of boots is an investment, not wastefulness... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duo-boots-experience#post-416029 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 02:35:42 +0000 Michelle 416029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no first-hand knowledge of this process, but I know Angie has raved about the experience her clients have had with calves on all points on the size spectrum. She's gone so far as to issue a recommendation, which to me speaks volumes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duo-boots-experience#post-415853 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 20:10:21 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 415853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping in hopes that someone can weigh in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duo-boots-experience#post-415515 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 00:51:35 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 415515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just read on someone's blog that Duo boots have free international shipping right now. I've always wanted a pair from them, since I have such a hard time with my large calves. Does anyone have experience with Duo or the custom measurement process? </p>
