A quick heads up that I ordered the following boots and hope to have reviews up within 2 weeks. Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, I'm not sure I'll have them before the end of next week but I'll try to get the reviews up as soon as I can.
Corso Como "Radar" ($80-$200, review)
I featured these in my very first boot roundup because I loved a picture of them from a Garnet Hill catalog. I recently received an email from a helpful reader who said that a size 5.5 fit her just under 12" calf. She was very happy with her purchase so I decided to pull the plug. I have a soft spot for boots with a built in sock. They are available at Amazon, Shoebacca, Shoes, Heels, and Online Shoes. Please note that returns on outlet items at Shoebacca are not free. I paid about $15 for return shipping on a pair of boots.

Franco Sarto "Candy" ($100, review)
A couple of readers said these fit their narrow calves well and were well-suited to shorter/petite women. One noted that a size 9.5 had a 13.75" circumference and 14.75" shaft (so helpful!). Available at DSW.

After hearing so much positive buzz, I caved into curiosity and ordered Aquatalia's Unity boots (review), despite the hefty price tag, when an Espresso pair in my size reappeared on Amazon.
I really want to review Minnetonka's front-lace knee-hi boots ($86) but will probably order them once I put up the other reviews. I've seen pictures online and although I can't be sure they're good for narrow calves (a few of the reviews on Zappos focus on how they can be adjusted to accommodate wide calves), I'm hopeful. Also at Online Shoes.

I can't promise the reviews will be very timely, but I hope to have them up by the end of the first week of December. Happy Thanksgiving and a big thanks to all of you for supporting this blog!

Corso Como Women's Swift Knee-High Boot
ReplyDeleteThis seems pretty narrow too, if you like the style and $250 price tag:)
http://www.amazon.com/Corso-Como-Swift-Knee-High-Neoprene/dp/B00CV3JAXC/ref=sr_1_20?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1385402562&sr=1-20&keywords=corso+como
They are $166 today so hopefully some readers get lucky and can tell us if they truly work for narrow calves!
DeleteAny reviews on the Franco Sarto Candy?
