If you like long or knee high boots but have thin calves, you know how frustrating it can be to find boots that fit snug, and not loose on the calf area.

Here are a couple things you can do:

  1. You can take them to a leather goods or shoe repair store. Ask them if they can take a couple inches off, and put back the zipper. This is especially easy with suede boots. I do this all the time.
  2. Wear ankle boots or the kind that comes up just a few inches higher than your ankle and lower than your calves. They are very fashionable and will look snug. Ankle boots will also work great if you have thicker calves and higher boots won’t fit your calves.
