They look great with that outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-boots-that-fit-my-calves-keep-or-return#post-104057 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:13:12 +0000 marianna 104057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So funny that you bumped this, Mac. I actually realized that with those adjustable snaps I am able to turn them into slouch boots! I actually wore them yesterday... here's a picture:</p> <p><a href="http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/mariannacecile/Oct%2026-Nov%201/IMG_2020.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i985.photobucket.com/al.....G_2020.jpg</a></p> <p>So I put them on the last buckle and scrunched them down. I had someone at work tell me that I had "spunky" boots that reminded him of the 80s. Ha.</p> <p>The Viggoti ones that I ordered from Zappos I ended up returning. They were defective... they buckles came all scratched and the length of the shoe was a bit short (and I wear the biggest size they make). They fit my calves perfectly though and the leather is nice. I'd recommend them!</p> <p>I also bought a pair of cheap boots at Torrid that are a little too big on the calves, but they're comfy so I kept them. I've already worn them and they were comfortable.</p> <p>Also found a pair of boots at Nordstrom that would not zip on my calves but they sent them to a cobbler and stretched them (for free!) and they fit now! Yay for cobblers. I haven't worn them yet but they were really expensive and they're gorgeous so I need to figure out how to wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-boots-that-fit-my-calves-keep-or-return#post-104030 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 06:51:48 +0000 Mac 104030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*bump*</p> <p>How did these boots turn out for you, Marianna? Other large-calved girls (well, at least THIS large-calved girl) wants to read about how your search progresses : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-boots-that-fit-my-calves-keep-or-return#post-96040 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 04:01:21 +0000 marianna 96040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still don't know. I just ordered another pair on Zappos that Angie said were killer. These: <a href="http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7576432/c/20650.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7576432/c/20650.html</a></p> <p>I just ordered them tonight so I should have them by Thursday or Friday and then I'll decide. I still like the original boots I bought and they fit really well, so we'll see! I can't keep both pairs so I'll decide which are more comfy and go with those. Thanks for asking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-boots-that-fit-my-calves-keep-or-return#post-96034 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 03:51:04 +0000 medusa 96034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna, what did you decide about the boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-boots-that-fit-my-calves-keep-or-return#post-94771 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 03:31:42 +0000 elpgal 94771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna, As an aside, this post has some links for boots for wide calves.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mywardrobetoday.com/2009/09/thursday.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mywardrobetoday.com.....rsday.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-boots-that-fit-my-calves-keep-or-return#post-94746 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 02:36:46 +0000 Lee Hovey 94746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love hem!<br /> A couple thoughts...<br /> I am a large calved girl myself, and not to hijack your thread, but I did a blog post a while back on boots available for larger calves. Here's the link in case you are looking for other options.<br /> <a href="http://tomboyfashion.blogspot.com/2009/08/boot-bug.html" rel="nofollow">http://tomboyfashion.blogspot......t-bug.html</a></p> <p>Also, I don't think it looks offensive to have that fold of leather, but I wonder if you could bring them to a leatherwork shop and have them trim out the excess if it really bothers you. though I bet the leather will soften with wear and lay flatter eventually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-boots-that-fit-my-calves-keep-or-return#post-94730 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 02:23:28 +0000 Tanya 94730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep!

But I wonder if you can make them more slouchy by pushing them down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-boots-that-fit-my-calves-keep-or-return#post-94674 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 22:03:55 +0000 shana 94674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna, calf fit on boots is an issue that is near and dear to my heart since I have been struggling with it myself. I am sorry to sound dense - these are slouch boots, right? I quite like them with the jeans and in the side shot but when I see them on your bare legs from the front, I think the part that juts out on the sides look a little weird - like it's adding width to your legs. I wouldn't consider it a deal breaker since it can be so difficult to find boots that fit in the first place. I see what Medusa is saying too - I think I would have liked them better if they were a couple of inches longer. But then again, I am far from being an expert on slouch boots so take my comments with a grain of salt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-boots-that-fit-my-calves-keep-or-return#post-94670 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:45:04 +0000 marianna 94670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm... well they don't feel tight around my ankles. Maybe my calves are just bigger in proportion to my ankles? Not really sure. I see what you mean though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-boots-that-fit-my-calves-keep-or-return#post-94669 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:34:36 +0000 medusa 94669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna, I really like them. They are a good slouchy boot style that Angie keeps advocating. They look good on, and they are versatile if they are wearable with dresses and jeans. I say keep. </p> <p>My only hesitation is that in the first picture, they look slightly non-uniformly slouchy - they look kind of tight around your ankles and then they balloon out right above that. But I think that is just an odd photo, because in all the other photos they just look slouchy all over. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-boots-that-fit-my-calves-keep-or-return#post-94668 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:27:09 +0000 marianna 94668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for cropping my body out...
