Knee high boots for slim ankles, wide calves

emilykate

Hi all -

I have muscular (15") calves and slim ankles. When I find tall boots I like that fit, they usually bunch up around the ankle and look awful. Does anyone else have this issue or know of any brands/styles that might solve this problem?

: ) Thanks
Emily

I think a little bit of bunching can look nice. Otherwise, have you tried boots that are deliberately scrunchy?

Hello,
I've exactly same problem, was a gymnast and sprinter when young.
I bought my boots from http://www.duoboots.com , I've the Florence and the Genova and they fit properly. I've just ordered the Livorna. I've tried on the Latina and some of their others in the past and they didn't fit at all. Their non leather lined ones seem to be shoddily made.

I'm a long time lurker and this is my first post, this site is brilliant. I'm in the UK, but duo do deliver worldwide.
Good luck, Bridget

I have wide calves too, but mine is bigger than yours which is 40 cms and I am 4'11 so you know how that is! I think its because your ankle is really small and your calve is really big! That happens to people with small ankles and big calves!
