Duo Boots

I was really happy when I found Duo. I have skinny calves and had such trouble finding anything with a good fit. Despite some initial scepticism about buying boots online, when they arrived I was very pleasantly surprised at their quality and their great fit. As well as London they have fitting rooms in Bath, Edinburgh and Manchester. You can get some more details here: http://www.duoboots.com/viewpage/shops_locations/

Now you'll have to take my word for it, but I have pretty ordinary-sized legs (no one remarks on them being like tree trunks for sure, they are just enough to hold up my size 12 frame) but come Autumn/Winter, when the shops are full of gorgeous leather boots, I just know that I will never be able to zip any of them up over my calves.

Seriously frustrated and wanting long boots, a few years ago I googled "fat leg boots" and found this fantastic company Duo which was then only in Bath, but great news it is now in London too!

They do the same fabulous funky leather boots you'd find in any high street store but they make them fit, whether you have skinny or more generously (it's the running not the chocolate) proportioned pins.

Not cheap but amazing quality, loads of choice and utterly wonderful boots with a genius secret - they just add in or take away a bit of the give at the top of the boots with stretchy bits. A visit to the shop gives you access to individual service form one of their trained fitters too. BIG fat recommendation for this shop!
