If you need to be secret about it, is there a pair of skinny jeans that she wears that is somewhat snug around the calf without being stretched? That might give you a ballpark measurement to use when shopping.</p> <p>A cobbler can reduce the calf on a boot, but not all boots lend themselves to this, and it can be somewhat expensive (my alteration&nbsp;cost $70). Also, you never know what kind of workmanship you're going to get. I would definitely exhaust my possibilities for a properly fitting boot off the shelf before going to a cobbler.</p> <p>As far as where to find them, you just have to look, look, look. Angie (who runs this site) says that the more expensive boots usually have the slimmer calves. </p> <p>There is a company in the UK called Duo that makes boots made-to-order for slim calves. Someone recently posted a thread about Duo on this forum, so it would be worth searching the archives. From what I have heard anecdotally, people are generally pleased with the Duo boots. They are rather expensive, but if you are really dealing with hard-to-fit calves (which I would consider to be less than 14"), they may be worth it.</p> <p>Another place to look for good info is a blog run by a person who calls herself Little Contessa:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://littlecontessa.blogspot.com/">http://littlecontessa.blogspot.com/</a>.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-high-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-1100212 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 04:29:38 +0000 Julie 1100212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Show your cobbler this.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m-Z4Wdy1Ps&amp;feature=related" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....re=related</a></p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>Julie</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-high-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-1099670 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 18:10:59 +0000 rachylou 1099670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did Angie just do that? I would like to know too! I have this idea Angie said it *is* possible, sometimes, to get the shaft of a boot taken in.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-high-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-1099661 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 18:05:44 +0000 AviaMariah 1099661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you see the post that Angie just did on this on the home page? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-high-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-1099655 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 17:55:37 +0000 sewilli 1099655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just signed up and am looking for suggestions on where to buy knee high flat boots for skinny calves for my daughter for xmas. &nbsp;Thanks.</p>
