Long boots for the extra short!

[Sunshine8]

I am struggling to find a pair of brown leather long boots to fit. I have just tried the Ariat Heritage Contour where the Full width was perfect but even short was about 3cm too long and even with a drop these would be too long.
Other than going down the custom route, any suggestions would be helpful. I have looked and can only find some XS in black but I do wish to have brown.
Thanks!

I have exactly this problem. V Annoying. I have a pair of Ariat long boots. I just pop these in and they fit perfectly. https://tinyurl.com/4kyt67fs

Oooh that's an idea! I have a pair of Toggi Calgary boots that are a smidge too long for me to wear comfortably, unless I plan to never bend my knees!

Second heal raisers. I use some in my long boots too and they're great.

Uncomfortable to say the least....??

Brogini do good leg length choice but they aren't hard wearing.

I expect you've already considered it but if you can fit into the larger kids boots they tend to be shorter (and cheaper!).

My Ariats have dropped more than 3cms…

I've got two pairs of heels risers in my Ariat boots.
Shires Moretta range have fitted me well, too.

Unfortunately I have some inserts that have about a 2cm lift and still they are too long

Problem is I have size 7 feet!

Ah, yes, that won't work then!

Second brogini - they are the only long non bespoke boots that i can get to fit my short fat legs

Which model brogini?

I have short fat legs and have a pair of De Niros - they have loads of sizes options off the shelf, not custom, but I did travel to find a shop with loads of stock so I was giving myself the best chance of finding the one for me!

Mountain Horse used to be good for short and wide but I haven’t bought any for ages so not sure if they still do so.

Tuffa Sandringham.
They’re side saddle boots so made extra short but for grown up feet. I am 5’1 and could never have long boots until I found these! They’re so nice I bought black too!

Shires Moretta range have fitted me well, too.

I bought a pair of Moretta Gianna boots recently and thought they would be way too long for my short legs. Popped a pair of 3cm heel risers in and they've started to drop now so have taken them out. Very comfy from day one too

How much did they drop ?
Mine are still too long.

Cavallo and De Niro have many combinations available and you don’t pay for made to measure boots.

My everyday boots are from Busse, the model is called Laval. They come in many combinations as well.

I'd say 2-3cm without measuring. When I first had them, I could not bend my leg in them without severe pain. Had 3cm heel risers, slathered with leather conditioner, walked around the house, tried to soften them any way I could without ruining them. Now I can wear them without the risers and they don't cut into the back of my knee when I bend/sit.

Tuffa side saddle boots are brill. I'm 4 ft 11 and they're the only tall boots short enough for me. Even all the childrens boots I'd tried before had been too long.
