  • I use the basics 1lrt square squash bottles, witha bit of sand in the bottom to weight them down. (i've got skinny legs too and fizzy pop bottles are too big.

    I'd forgotten about squash bottles! (I've got the oppsite problem: I'm afraid I have normal curvy female legs, but nobody makes boots big enough!)
  • LizD ; have you tried Evans for boots. I know it is a Big Girls shop but it means that they design their boots for the more curvaceous

    look in the bottom right hand corner of their post, and next to the thanks button, there should be a button that says quote.

    click this, and it will open up the reply box with the person's post in square brackets like this [] do not delete these.

    if you dont want to quote the whole post, you can delete irrelevant bits, just make sue you leave the [] there :beer:

    If you don't put anything in them, then store them on their side to support them. Even better keep them in the boot box you bought them in!! Amazing how well they last when not drowned in at least 30 other pairs of shoes!!!

    Ooh! i hadn't thought of them! I'm only a size 12 (but not stick shaped! :D ), so the clothes would be 'generous' on me, but I'll definitely (sp) give the boots a go!
