Wide calves & knee high boots

Good morning,

I have just discovered this US website that sells boot bands, which are elastic or leather bands that you can zip into and zip fastened knee high boots which gives you more calf space.

http://bootband.com/index.html

I know there are alot of ladies that have this problem and while Evans and Duo do a great job, they don't always have the styles I like at an affordable price. SO these bands look like a great compromise/investment.

They start at $40 (£28 approx) and I have asked for a price for p&p. If it is not too crazy I might be tempted to invest in a set.

What do you ladies think?

Susanna

  • Sorry, they look awful! I'd rather do without.

    Simply Be also do wider calves.
  • It sounds a very good idea. A little pricey, perhaps, but if it means someone can wear a fantastic pair of boots for the first time, it could be a good investment.


    Much to my disgust, I can't even wear the wide fitting boots - even from Evans or Duo, who have people significantly larger than me shopping there. It's my fault for having short, stumpy legs with a large amount of muscle under the fat.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

  • Don't forget that you may have to pay extra vat and duty on purchases from the USA + the courier may require an additional admin fee (approx £10 from).
