brown riding boots (tall boots) for skinny calves?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have suggestions? I'm looking for all leather (not the stretch neoprene or whatever in the back), brown/congac tall boots (not over the knee) for a skinny-calved girl....

I have narrow calves and just deal with a little bit of bag as long as the boots are more "sturdy"- then I don't think it looks as bad. I have Fryes, Ariats, Luchese (sp?) and a bunch bought at random stores abroad. I find that the ones that are sort of thinker/stand up on their own look OK if they are a little baggy because they don't do that bunch and sag as much. Think pull on styles.

I would try to get to a boots/western/riding store. You would be surprised what they have that isn't just cowboy boots or "real" riding boots. These places are generally expensive but I've found awesome stuff.

If you have extremely skinny calves, try Duo boots.

I got some Clark's that fit my very thin calves.

Ask Guliana Rancic. She rocks some nice boots and she is super skinny

Frye Melissa Button boot. I know a very, very skinny girl who has teeny calves and looks great in these boots. Plus, the cognac is nice.

Stuart weitzman. I have skinny legs and they fit very well

I have these and would not recommend for thin calves. My calves are approx 13" and these boots are huge on me, not fitted at all. I would recommend La Canadienne, Many of their styles are quite fitted for narrow calves.

PP here. I have not yet found a tall Frye boot that is great for skinny calves.

I searched forever until I found these, which I just purchased in black:

I tighten the straps to the last notch, and voila--no gapping at the calves! The boots are gorgeous.

I got a nice pair in Aldo last year.

You need to get them altered by a cobbler. It is quite easy to have them taken in if they have a seam along a side or the back. Should be less than $50. Much easier to find boots you love and have them taken in than limit yourself to only narrow calved boots.

On Zappos you can narrow your search by calf width - something I've found very helpful!

+1 for Duo. You order online based on shoe size and calf size. Some of the other brands mentioned above (Frye) are huge on my skinny calves.

This works great but I've found the cost to be around $100-125. I've done this with several pairs of boots in the past but have been ordering from Duo lately BC it's easier/cheaper.
