    I got a pair from Evans last year, and frumpy they're not!
    Wider leg for those curvacious calves :) and high heels, zip up leg, black stretch leather, knee high.. lets just say they have the desired effect!

    I would love some furry/suedey type boots that fit calves that are more than 3 inches wide though!

    Oh, and Simply Be( they have an online store I think) do nice boots. I also got( last year) some knee high red boots, and ankle high very high heeled snakeskin effect ones.. all fitting wider calves.
    Hope that helps :)

    I know a few people who have ordered from Duo Boots and have been very happy with them.
    You have to measure your calf size before you order.
