Update: Reader Mindy said:
I have really skinny legs. Really. Skinny. Bird legs, if you will, that measure no more than 13.5 inches at the thickest part of my calf. I am dying for a pair of knee high (or just below) boots that will actually fit me and not look like I’m wearing galoshes. Please help! Oh, and I can’t pay $1,234 dollars for them either. $300 max (and that’s actually a really high amount for me…I’m just that desperate)
Well Mindy – I did some hunting for you. Zappos.com is a good place to look because their selection is so huge, they usually have good deals and their customer service is great. The triple narrow size (AAA) was only available for booties, not knee-highs, but there were a couple of narrow knee high options.
Try: the La Canadienne brand or this cole haan boot
What do you say readers? Do you have any suggestions for a narrow knee – high boot?
Lets face it, I’ve gone crazy about boots.
I just got this pair at target and I’m over the moon. Frye’s and Anthropologie’s boots can be pretty expensive, so I found some substitutes online that are just as good or even cuter!
There are a couple Frye pairs at Urban Outfitters right now but there are some other great boots on the web as well. Hope you enjoy the selection. Boots are so Fall 2010.

google “narrow calf boots” and you’ll find several. Here’s one:

look at the circumference of the shaft to get the right fit.
I have the opposite problem. I can never get boots to zip over my calves. And I wear a size 8 in clothing!?!! It’s so frustrating.
Thanks for the reference Karen! Also – to find boots for a bigger size calf just google “wide calf boots” or something similar. Old Navy carries some boots for a wider calf and also, the boots on this post from Target conform to a larger size.
Woo hoo! Thanks for such a quick response. Cute boots and I love the tips…now to convince my husband that $300 for boots is an “investment”.
wow I am going to cry. I thought I was the only one out there with bird legs DYING for a pair of nice boots that dont look horrid on me. THANK you SOOO much! You made my week, and its monday that it huge
You are the best! I love this site!
