Boots?!

Hi, I'm after some practical advice if anyone can help. I have a frustrating problem. For a majority of the year due to the weather here in the uk, I live in skinny jeans and boots (just under the knee/calf)

Due to recent weight loss my boots now resemble wellies! They are so loose. I have always had thin legs but now they are more so and none of the high street stores seem to cater for thin calves and I don't want over the knee as they don't suit me.

Has anyone found anywhere in uk selling tighter boots please? I'm getting to the point of thinking I'll have to go to a boot maker and pay an absolute fortune for a pair, and I'm not even sure there are places that do that.

Sorry for the random post, just wasn't sure where else to look and thought there will be a wealth of knowledge and experience from everyone here.

Thanks x

Hi,

Love random posts! I have the same problem as you with boots even when I put on weight I always have skinny calves and ankles! I know they can cost a bit more but Jones the bookmakers do a slim fit in certain designs and have a buckle usually so you can tighten further. Check out their website,

Hope that helps x
