Help required (Boots)

[bigolbear]

Hi Guys

 

I have decided to treat myself to a pair of shooting boots , easy I thought ??

the problem started when I discovered that there are lots of boots leather rubber neoprene , all of which have calf size of XXL size of 18.5 inches

Unfortunately after twenty years of rugby, I have 21inch Calves without clothing .

 

 

anyone any idea where I can look next .

Get some Meindl Dovre extreme, there leather boots come up high and wide fitting. I've got a pair of meindl Burma and there fantastic boots I'll be getting the dovre when funds allow as I struggle for wellies due to having broad feet with a high instep.

Also do in 1/2 size increments.

I think there's an on line shop for all sizes and width's of boots called wellies online, if it's not this google wide fittin boots

^{Chameau will make slightly bigger calf boots they charge a slight additional charge but your getting superb boots.}

 

^{From memery its £70 - £100 additional charge}

Also, try looking at Aigle. They're a great boot and come at larger calf sizes

Hi

 

If looking for boots and not wellies then Alt-Berg in Richmond do a made to measure service that is probably no more than off the shelf such as Meindl - more likely to accomodate individual matters.

 

You can pick the leather, sole type, height etc. to suit/fit you.

Same problem myself, 54cm or 22" calves, but just found gumleaf clothing/footwear, who make a boot called the Viking, with a gusset at the back, apparently solving the problem.

Have emailed them, and they said I was at the limit of what their boot would take, but unworn returns are no problem, so might order and try them.

Also saw a bloke, on here I think, who said he has 21" calf, and wears grub stalkers with no problem.

 

Hope this helps, been wearing british army boots for years, and solid as they are, and leak free if you use enough dubbin, they ain't ideal in deep mud, I need wellies that fit pack animals like us!

 

Be lucky,

Leon.
