Country-type boots under £100 for fat legs ... not asking much, eh?

[dibbin]

Rather than hijacking Spudlet's thread, I've started my own dedicated to my fat calves.

Anyone have any suggestions for country boots of the Dublin River type that will fit my fat legs? The only ones I've seen so far with different width options are Ariats, and they are WAY out of my price range.

Sigh.

Have a look at these......

They are mid calf (stop below the widest part) and are warm and toasty, waterproof and have stood up to daily wear and tear through last winters snow and mud etc worn pretty much all day everyday for yard duties, turn out, walking dogs etc. I am buying a spare pair for when mine die!!

I got some Welligogs boots at Badminton last year (2 pairs actually!) and they are just brilliant. I have wide calves and no other boots fit up my legs, but I don't have measurement for you, sorry. Im sure they could advise - they are very nice people.

I got the Sloane which are knee length, but the Ranger also fitted but were shorter on me. I know they are priced on here at £169 but i paid £125 at Badminton and often see they have some on ebay for less.

Having spent a couple of years doing 2hrs of step aerobics most days a week (yes, I clearly went mental for a while) my calves aren't small, and I found I couldn't get into the River Boots, so I got a pair of Toggi Canyons, and they are amazing! Had to get a size up from normal, and I did start off wearing them with leggings instead of jodphurs as they're thinner but after a month or so they were a perfect fit! They do tend to squash down a bit all over the leg, so then don't sit quite so high and you don't have to then pull them over the widest part of your calf - hurrah! They're about £120 I think?
