Good and bad NSV

As a Armed Forces Veteran I have always had massive huge bloody calves from all the fitness training and I cannot buy knee high boots from aHigh Street shop. So for years and years I didnt wear boots. Then in 2008 I found a site where you could measure your calves and order boots through them. Bloody expensive but comfy footwear.

I havent worn them in over a year what with being pregnant and it being summer, but today it was cold and pouring down with rain I thought I'd wear long trousers and my boots. Just a plain dark brown leather boots with an inch thick square heel, not exactly sexy but I like them.

Well..

They're hanging off me now, they're so loose and falling down that they look stupid!

Fantastic, my calves are smaller but still not standard booy size!! woohooo


The crap side is that they were so very expensive that I can't justify replacing them! I thought they last me for many more years yet so I forked out £170 for them.

bugger bugger!

eta - Forgot to add - I joined ONEderland the other day! Though it is through illness

do they custom make the boots? if so, can you contact them and ask them to alter the boots?

Find a good shoe repair place - they can probably be altered/taken in for far less than it would cost to replace them!

Sorry about your boots, but loving the progress!

Well done! Whats ONEderland?

Good for you! Sorry about the boots, though...

To melissarefson: ONEderland means you are under 200 pounds.

I'm going through one now myself. I bought myself a sexy little dress for my friends wedding a month ago. I put it on this morning to check out the fit and it's now a sexy little dressy anymore . . . it's a burlap sack that covers my beautiful arms. craptastic.

As someone else who also had that same "problem" (and then NSV) ... CONGRATS! Now sell those spendy boots and buy yourself a new pair ... at a regular store ... where you don't have to order extra wide calf sizes! ;o)

phinners

I will do dragonflidi, cant just yet though I dont think they will fit. But I wil at least try them on and see

Well done!!

One word - Ebay! Flog them on and get yourself a new pair.

And you know what I might just do that.

Im serously hoping the sexy shiney navy blue ones in M&S will fit.

Yay onderland..boo because you're sick.
I have the same problems with boots..and still haven't found ones that fit..and I refuse to buy anything I can't try on first.
Hopefully when I hit onederland it will be time.
