Knee High Boots for Thin Legs

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
in Health & Wellbeing
I want some new black leather knee high boots, but I'm having real trouble finding any that are actually tight around my leg. My legs are exactly matchsticks, but they're on the thin side, and every pair of boots I've tried on so far have looked like wellies!

All I want are plain black leather, zip up the inside, 3inch-ish heel and pointed toe. Anyone got any ideas which shops/brands make their boots on the "slim-fitting" side?

Evans, for example, make their's wider, but nowhere seems to make one for thin girls! :(

    oh i wanna know too!! ALL knee high boots are too wide for my legs and they just look stupid unless i tuck my trousers into them or something. Next are doing boots for wider legs too but nowhere seems to do them for thinner legs..

    I have thinish legs and I found some knee highs at shoe express for only £35. Quality isnt too bad, I know they'll only last this season but for £35 what can you expect?!

    Now if I remember correctly, there was a thing in either the latest Cosmo or Glamour about this exact thing - knee-high boots for different types of legs. So try and find a copy around and it'll help you.

    I'm not gay - I just like Cosmo.

    Wow, thanks for that!

    I've just had a look and found some I really like for £130 - am gonna have to wait for payday! I measured my calf like they said - I'm a 30.5cm! So I'm their smallest size :)

    ETA: Oh, sod it! I've ordered them anyway :) There's a four week delay on them tho! :(

    For the record, I sent them back. They fitted great around the top, but were rather loose around the ankle for my liking. Would still recommend DuoBoots to anyone tho :)
