    My quest for black boots continues...

    I got several pairs of black boots from M and S including some of their supposed wide fitting ones and none fit :( they just won't do up.....My calves have got a lot of fluid on from taking medication and I am desperate to wear knee high boots again...

    I thought about Evans or Simplybe but I think they may be then too big around my smaller ankles....Duo are out as I couldn't justify £140 odd on a pair of boots at this moment....

    Any other suggestions?

    Clarks have a knee high boot I tried on today (Mill something) which has a buckle allowing you to adjust the calf width and it looks stunning- 3 colours, one suede option. there is also an online offer of £10 off for home delivery, which is free over £30.
    Hope this helps

    Love the look of those Duo boots! When's the sale?

    Even at under 9 stone and nearly 6' tall I could never find boots to fit my calves - something to do with having a comparatively small shoe size of only 6.5 and cycling everywhere.

    Buckles and Bows specialise in boots in different calf sizes. This page tells you how to work out the calf size that you need to order. They go right up to a calf circumference of 44cm if your foot size is 3-4, 45cm if your foot size is 5-6 and 46cm, if your foot size is 7-8. I've ordered from them before and was very impressed.

    The page that displays all the boots says the boot name and the size. It is referring to calf size here, not shoe size and once you've clicked on the correct calf size, you can then choose the correct foot size. Hope that makes sense!

    They look nice, really nice but the black plainer ones tend to be over £100 which is way over my price range... :(

    Was it the Michelle Belle? Again unfortuantely at £100 I just can't justify it for boots that will probably only get worn for one season... :(

    i think they are doing freepostage at the moment - code is AW09
  • Duo boots are very poor quality - I have had 3 pairs and won't be buying from them again.
