| | | Boots for wide calves 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. |

| | 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. |

| | | 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. |

| | | 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? |

| | 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. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
