I'm having trouble finding tall boots because my calves are huge. They are 16 inches when I'm flexing. I have always had trouble finding boots - at least when I need riding boots they make them in widths (the store sells up to 17+ inches), but generally boots sold in shoe stores are 15 inches (or less) for a size 10 foot. Does anyone else have this problem? Where do you find tall boots?

Ahh I have the complete opposite! Mine around are about 11" and a half. Everything is too baggy on me for boots.

It's stupid that they don't make widths.

And Aaron (and haters), I couldn't find boots that fit when I was doing ballet 10 hours a week. This has nothing to do with being fat, I just have a lot of muscle. I'm average sized, I fit into regular clothes, I should be able to fit into regular boots. I know lots of people with an ass 3 times the size of mine who wear regular boots.

well.

now that you've cleared that up.

In the Uk we have www.duoboots.com, they do boots for skinny to wide calves 'in 21 different calf widths'. They also do a range of lengths for tall and petite people.

my friend has a problem with this
shes not even nearly fat but boots just always seem to be tight on her!

thats such a good site!
iv never seen one like that before!

If you live in Canada or the States, Transit shoe stores actually have a device that stretches boots for you. I bought a pair, left it there on this machine overnight, and it actually stretched them out an inch or two.

Hope that helps!

Thanks, all of you. That site looks great, but a little pricey to buy without trying first.

Does the machine stretch synthetic boots too? Because I find that a lot of them are. But it's a good point, I could get leather and then just try and have them stretched.

Mine are synthetic, and it worked great for mine.

in the UK clothes shops for the larger lady, like Evans, have show departments which sell boots with wider fittings. I know you're not in the UK (or a larger lady!), but I'm sure there will be some similar shops over there?

ahaha i always wondered why plus sized shops sold shoes
NOW I KNOW

right on!

Duo have the best boots on offer for skinny and curvy calves. They are superb quality, so worth paying a little extra for.

I have just invested in these Florence: Classical riding boot with detachable tassel trim and long rear zip. Black leather. | DUO boots

They quite often do free postage offers, so keep your eye out!

do you have a jones the bootmaker over there? They have a great selection of boots and you can order them to your measurements.

I was just about to say that evans have wider boots. But LadyShambles beat me to it. I don't know how much difference there is in it though.

I THINK that some cobblers will stretch boots, but I may have made that up.
