Subject: RE: #57 - I Need a Drink - Gin and TANic

Here's my whining/rant of the day:

I went to a shoe store to buy a pair of boots last night.  I really like tall boots.  Tried on a few pairs and I couldn't zip any of them over my calf.  I am sad.  Apparently, lots of women have this problem.  That's what the shoe store lady said.  Why can't they make them wider?

Now I'm looking at getting a pair of cowboy boots .  I like the style, they are comfortable, look good on.  But, I'm not sure because it's not really what I planned on buying in the first place.

Hmmm...not sure what to suggest since I fortunately have not encountered this - though yes, apparently a lot of women have this issue. And since I started running, I've noticed my boots fit more snugly around the calf (not too tight, though), and boots that were a little bit wide now fit "better". Have you looked for the kinds with a stretchy panel (some of mine have this)? Or the ones that are soft material all the way up (ie, the leg of the boot is stretchy or just fabric)?

Agree. Rarely can I zip up tall boots. They are made for girls with no calf muscles!!

Yep.  I tried on all different ones.  Couldn't find anything that fit.  My calves are pretty big.  I've always had muscular calves and all the running and biking does not help anything.

I get the ones that have the elastic hidden on the inside. One little piece. They work well.

It's hard to take a picture of your own calf. Though my left leg looks pretty good when I stare down at it on the trainer.

ALDO is the only place I've been able to find boots that fit.  I've always had enormous calves between high jumping, bodybuilding, and now pretending to tri.  ALDO still works.  AND they are actually really comfy.

I love ALDO boots! And yeah, their boots tend to be sort of wide. Might be worth a look if you haven't been there yet.

Some of their boot styles are kinda skanky, but some are normal - like the ones I posted awhile back - the equestrian looking ones. I have 3 pairs of boots from there that I love.

I'm not a huge fan of actual cowboy boots unless you go to a lot of country bars/line dances. But I do like boots inspired by the cowboy look.
