HELP! Need to get slimmer calves fast!

[TommyTwoShoes]

OH has very generously bought a pair of these >>> http://www.robinsonsequestrian.com/riding-apparel/footwear/long-riding-boots/calgary-long-boots.html

for Christmas and they turned up this afternoon, but they don't fit

My calves are too big for them

So any tips on how to get slimmer calves quickly?

At the moment I'm getting very wet feet because my other yard boots have died a death, which is why my OH bought me these before Christmas. I'm not riding much at the moment because we have facilities and I only see the horses in the dark, but I didn't think my legs had gotten that fat!

Help please!

Hi

Can you not exchange them for the wider fit ones?

 

[BlairandAzria]

I don't think there is a way .....I lost a lot of muscle from my right calf when it was in a cast and airboot for 6 weeks through muscle wastage - nit really a viable option though really!

I'd exchange them for wide fitting ones or start sleeping in them

Oh no did you get the regular ones?

The only thing I can think of is Pilates but I think exchanging would be easier if you can ;-)

I'm going to have to return them and order wide fit ones aren't I?

I was so hoping for warm, dry feet when I do my boys tonight!

I've got the wide ones, and I love them. I'd love nice slim calves but I think I'm stuck with solid chunky ones! I don't half envy people who have a gap at the top of their long boots, snot fair!

Haha I also think returning them would be quicker!

Pop to asda and get some spare wellies in the mean time

running!


(but it might be quicker and easier to swap them for a wider fit)

Hate to say it but you were never going to fit into those boots tonight! LOL. No matter what drastic measures you tried

PS: However, if you DO discover a miracle - PM me! I have the same trouble with larger than 'regular' calves (and also have very small feet to make matters so much worse.)

 

[TommyTwoShoes]

The mad thing is I have regular calves with every other pair of boots I've ever bought in my entire life!

Will be returning them tomorrow and buying the wide fit ones

I was hoping someone would have an answer😞 My hubby bought me some black ariat boots and gaiters for competing a couple of years ago, I tried them on last week and I couldn't do the zip up. I have put on a little bit of weight so will just have to lose it again, think I'll be joining the gym soon.

If it makes you feel better I have size 4 feet and legs like a prop forward

What do you calves actually measure?
