Long boots for fat legs :)

[Equus Leather]

I need some nice long boots but i have rather wide calves

I'm normally a 6 in shoe size, and my calf measures 43cm

Anyone any idea where I can get some from?

I also have wide calves but use jodhpur boots and chaps so no use to you I'm afraid.

What about made to measure boots?

Equitector - look here
It tells how to measure yourself on the website.

I normally ride in chaps and boots, but need long ones for exams and competing. M2M will be too costly I reckon!

I had to go for boots and gaiters. I love my sergio grasso ones they come in practically every forceable size under the sun

Equitector long boots are brilliant.And they do up to a 60cm calf.I have had mine for nearly a year and they are as good as new.Not a bad price either.

 

[Equus Leather]

Thanks Rema, where did you get yours from?

 

[spider]

You can buy equitector direct from their website or robinsons was where I got mine. Equitector also do repairs. I had to have new zips put in mine after 2 years wearing them every day.

Equitector aren't doing "true" M2M any more. i'm gutted, i was measured for a pair at Blenheim last year and kept putting off buying them, and now they say that they are not making M2M at present.

True to form, even their Really Really Short & Fat off-the-peg fitting is not Short & Fat enough for me.

As Spider has said.I got mine straight from Equitector.I spoke to the boss and he was brilliant.His name was Nikos or something.Very helpful chap.

 

[Equus Leather]

Lovely will give them a try, thanks all.

I have just bought a pair of harry hall long boots and l have the same problem with fat calves and thet fit a treat.

 

[Equus Leather]

Which ones are they golden?

 

[lexiedhb]

I have cavello ones for my chunky legs.... thought I was going to have M2M , but didnt need to in the end. Not cheap though!

 

[ihatework]

I bought the boots I liked at the correct height and shoe size and then had them adjusted by the cobbler, the boots had zips up the back and the cobbler just put an elastic insert in. Cost about £50 from memory and a lot cheaper than made to measures!

 

[Selkie]

I have Equitector and love them. I have very short fat legs and they fit me

 

[Equus Leather]

I'm pleased that there are boots out there - woohoo!

 

[teapot]

have you thought about going for ariat boots & gaitors?

They do a wide range of sizes http://www.ariat.co.uk/images/products/FW_SP06.halfchap.chart.pdf

Hi, I recently brought this pair of Brogini riding boots from Dogwood London and they fit like a dream. I believe they go upto 43cm in a size 6 as wel!!!

They were really helpful there and said they can do a made to measure service for Sergio Grasso, Brogini and De Niro riding boots if i couldn't find a size that fitted. Lucky for me i did!
