Uggs for chunky calves!

Ok, I've decided the time is right to splash out on a pair of genuine Uggs, but I have big legs with a large calf.

Does anyone have any recommendations for which style I should be looking at? I need something above ankle height to keep me snug :)
I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    Hi, i would reccomend the classic short style, they fit under your trousers, as i am not skinny enough to wear them tucked in with skinny jeans which they tend to do with the tall ones.

    I love mine and have worn them out and i am awaiting a new pair of british made equivelent.

    You will never want to put anything else on your feet again!

    Go to shop a local t and try on,if your ble to,then you can order online if you want,but make sure you order the uggs as there are a lot out there

    Thanks toomuchmess.

    I have been looking on this website at the New Zealand equivalent to Uggs. They're much cheaper and the reviews suggest they may even be better. Ooh, decisions, decisions!!

    I have 2 prs of Kiwi's and I think they are slightly wider round the calf than uGgs. However, best of all are Canterbury's and I think they are slightly wider still!!

    this is the website i have just got my new pair from and are wearing now!

    www.celtic-sheepskin.co.uk

    Bit of a tighter fit round the feet inially but meant to be like that as they give in a few days, nice chunky soles,thicker tread than uggs, no binding round top edge of boot, you can return if wrong size ans machine wash them!

    Well I got my boots this week from New Zealand Nature Co and they are absolutely gorgeous (thanks Miro). My feet have been toasty warm for the last 2 days and I can hardly bear to take them off.

    Course now it's going to cost me 'cos both DDs are hinting they want some for their birthdays - still, they're a lot cheaper than Uggs so I guess I'm still money saving :D

    And.......they've got a sale on the tall, sand boots with £15 off. Ooh, I see another pair of boots being bought!
