pin Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Before I start I know I can get hold of Le Chameau chasseurnord (and the better ones) made as a special order for 50cm calf's... I can't seem to find any bigger.. I used to play a lot of rugby, and I suffer from having very large calf's, 19.5" to be exact By the time I add socks and trousers to that I can't fit in normal boots. I know I can find a normal wellington but I like the idea of the le chameau / gusset with strap idea, I don't know why, I just like the look of them and they could be at home on a formal shoot as well as out in the mud Have been looking for a few days now, don't really want to spend 200+ on some custom made jobbies, any other recommendations out there? Some of you must be big lads too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussex lad Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Pin, I have large calf's too, and without spending silly money the only ones i could find to fit were Garlands neoprene with zip and strap all for the about £70 if i remember. And as for being a big lad you'll have to ask the misses about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurcherboy Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Got a pair of Blimeys for my mate and his missus in NZ. She was a big lass with small feet but found them comfortable. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of you must be big lads too? Not sure if they are bog enough but try the Lacrosse range, they do one with a Zip and Gusset. They are yank not french!

darebear Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 don't bother asking hawkeye for any help. i'm sure the circumference will fit your calf... but boot size? ...... you could end up looking like coco the clown :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
