Flat boots and an Esprit question
Permalink Closed

I am buying myself some flat boots for my birthday, because I have decided I can't live without them, even if we only get 2 months of boot weather a year.


That said, I really need to find a pair that has no more than a 13.5" calf. My calves are 12.5" and it seems like most boots in my size (8) are closer to 14-14.5 in diameter. I don't want them to look like galoshes. I am up for black or brown, but they need to be sleek/riding-boot style, no chunky soles or slouchy legs. I'd like to keep it under $150, and I'd like them to be leather, not suede. (Faux leather is fine too, if they don't look cheapy.)


I like these from Esprit, and they have a 25% code right now, but they took FOREVER to process my return the last time I bought something. Does anyone know how the calves run on these boots? Or if Esprit boots are decent quality?

Lori's has these:


Corso Como Sophia - Black$156, and the description says 'they fit snugly in the calf' .... ?


I like the Espirit ones, too - maybe you could email their CS and ask the calf measurement?

Love those, Elle!

Halleybird, you might have already seen me stalking these boots, but here they are just in case:



$145 from Shoes.com but there's a 25% Code that was posted here that would bring them down to around $108.

off 5th had BEAUTIFUL mock-croc flat boots for $150 plus 25% off today- they were snug in the calves (mine are small too) and I really wanted them but am too short to pull them off. They were BCBG.

Elle - I e-mailed Lori's Shoes and Esprit about the calf circumfrence. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the idea.


littlebean - I like those. Have you tried them IRL? Are they snug in the calf?


ILC- those boots sound great! My Off 5th is about an hour away, but I may be able to get over there this weekend. Thanks!
