boots for those with not so skinny calves!!

looking for tan/brown knee high boots with not too high a heel always have trouble with zipping them full ways as my calves arent the skinniest usually get them half way just wondering if anyone knows where I might get suitable ones that are still fashionable - wearing a teal dress Christmas day so looking for them for that.

I always get the same trouble actually, maybe try Evans website I think they do bigger or stretchier sizes

make boots to custom fit you! They're a bit more expensive but well worth the money. I'm ordering a pair for Christmas!

God im the very same & its head wreckin Im also a bit of a cheapo & hate having to fork out €100 for a pair of boots!! I got black boots in Sept that just pull over your leg so they are brill - on the lookout for brown ones now - heard River Island do good sizes but you'l pay for them - mite ask them from santa

Evans shops sell great boots that fit wider calved legs..some lovely styles too

I have trouble with this aswell, have tried loads river island, new look etc and surprisingly enough i got a brown pair last year and a black pair this year from PENNYS. They fit perfect and go over my jeans aswell. Never more then 30euro either but u have to be lucky cos they sell out fast.

Oh God I'm the very same! Thought I was alone in the world! I only wear ankle boots as a result Great to see this post and get those tips, Thanks girls

was just about to say Penneys. Was in there looking for a cheapo pair of shoes and saw these boots that had extra room in them. looked nice.

This seems to be a really common problem! My friend and I were discussing this last winter. A shop local to us started stocking wider fit boots but the price difference was ridiculous, especially considering that most people I know would have this problem. We were both debating forking out for them though, when we realised that Dunnes Stores boots fitted just fine - they seem to be a bit more generous / realistic! Don't know what they have in stock at the moment, but check there and Penneys out if you don't want to have to fork out a huge amount.
