I have a really comfortable pair of long boots that i love but since losing 5stone, they are now too big in the calf.
I have tried on several pairs of different boos but can't find any that are anywhere near as comfy.

Is there a way of getting them taken in? Could a Cobbler, do it?
It has an elasticated panel at the back so i guess that would need to have a bit taken out of it

I don’t see why not, I had some long boots made wider and they put a section of leather in so making narrower should be ok.. it will be cheaper than buying new boots and well worth it to keep your comfort..try Googling to see if someone is recommended , or maybe contact the maker of your boots . Good luck

Definitely do your research on who you use.
I had mine narrrowed many years ago and what a pigs ear they made of it.

Should be able to. In the meantime, leg warmers, or long socks with the feet cut off, so they’re not flapping?
