I have ALWAYS struggled with getting knee high boots to fit my sparrow legs. It drives me NUTS that I cannot just walk into a high street store and pick up a pair of boots. 3 years ago a friend told me about a company that specialise in made to measure (for the calf) boots. I have 3 pairs of boots from Duo because they are:
1 Amazing quality (boots that last for YEARS not just one year)
2 Tailor made TO FIT YOUR CALF, whether it be big or small
3 Great for customer service
4 Free UK delivery

I know Clarks have great boots and cheaper than DUO but (for me) they don't ever fit me :-(
How do you find shopping for winter knee high boots? Do you have quirky calves that are tricky to find a good fitting boot?

I've never tried Duo actually. I've got odd shaped legs - not particularly skinny but I always get a gap on the outside of my long boots. The Hobbs elastic ones are great for it I find and I made the big investment a few years ago...never regretted it! Off to check out Duo now though...like the look of what you've shown here x
ReplyDeleteI've got wide feet but pretty standard sized calves so that presents a bit of an issue but my main problem is getting them over my ankles. One in particular because I had an Achilles injury that because of scar tissue has left my ankle a weird shape to get boots over. Next boots are usually ok if I get wide fit but most places have huge calves so made to measure sounds fab. Thanks for sharing that.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the Hobbs elastic ones were good too - but the last couple of times I've looked to try and replace a rather anoint pair I couldn't see them- must investigate as I would be upset if they'd been discontinued. I usually have a gap at the top around the knee otherwise...had never really considered an issue before, but Duo sounds worth a look, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have the problem that the fattest part of my calves don't fit in the right part of boots which are designed for taller ladies. I didn't cotton on for a while but you learn as you go or rather I tell myself that rather than that I have fat calves.
ReplyDeleteAnd my niece has a pair of Duo boots - they are gorgeous. I was almost tempted myself. Really soft leather, very simple design and just hitting over the knee - almost panto like but looked so good. A bit like the Stuart Weitzman 50/50 boots.
Boots are the one thing that I don't struggle with ... which is probably why I love knee high boots so much! It's my favourite thing to shop for. My sister who is a 'skinny malink' and way slimmer than me, struggles with boots as she has big calves. Quite often when I'm fed up shopping for her size 6/8 clothes, I'll drag her boot shopping so that I can feel slim again, lol!! (I know, I'm a little, little person!)
ReplyDeleteSkinny boot are fun and look hot and sexy any season. Women usually wear them pulled over skinny jeans or combine them with skirts, leggings, and dresses.
