When you have slim legs, trawling the high street for boots that hug the calf can be a real drag. Various challenges include navigating ‘standard’ sizing that’s too wide for you – let’s face it, saggy boots rarely chime with feeling glamorous and put-together. And if you do happen upon a brand that offers more than one calf size, it’s likely the variety of designs will be limited. Why should you have to compromise? Well, with DuoBoots you don’t.
To get the most out of a pair of knee-high boots, you want to achieve a snug fit with a little wiggle room. A well-fitting pair of boots will provide comfort and support and, frankly, will look much more stylish than a pair that’s too big or baggy. So, how do you find the perfect boots for skinny legs? It all starts with working out your calf size.
The process couldn’t be easier with the help of our clever tool, the DuoBelt™. Each notch of this belt mimics one of our eight calf measurements. To use it, you simply place the belt around the widest part of your calf and then select the notch that feels most comfortable. For further instructions, see a detailed guide on ‘How to find the perfect calf size when buying boots’.
When we design a style of boot, we do a lot of fit testing. Some styles are designed with a narrow ankle which means they fit the leg snugly, others have a straight leg which means the ankle is wider, and relaxed styles are looser again.
Finding styles which fit narrow calves best will depend on how you like your boots to feel. Often, customers find trying on a pair of boots that fit the leg snugly for the first time feels a little unfamiliar, but it only takes a few minutes to adapt.
The shape of an individual’s legs varies too, so we offer a variety of styles, each one with its own fit credentials depending on which of our lasts it is crafted on: ankles can be slim, standard, or relaxed, and boot heights vary from mid-calf to over-the-knee, with our knee-high boots varying to suit longer or shorter legs. For information on how each product fits, please refer to the fit notes on each product page for details.
We are proud to be the only brand in the world that offers eight different calf sizes in our knee-high boots.

Here are some of our favourite styles to try.
We love the timeless elegance of a riding boot. Within our collection, discover sleek silhouettes with thoughtful details such as pull tabs, buckle fastenings, and comfort-enhancing elasticated panels. Three equestrian-inspired styles worth trying are Haltham, Verity, and Charlotte.
Utilitarian yet feminine, Haltham is an everyday boot that promises to go the distance. This flat, knee-high staple style is crafted from smooth calf leather and lined with nylon fabric.
Sculpted to hug the calf, Verity features an internal elasticated stretch panel for a neat fit. This classic, equestrian-inspired boot is made from smooth calf leather and sits on a stacked sole.
Modelled on traditional equestrian styles, Charlotte holds timeless appeal with a modern edge. This knee-high boot is made from European-sourced calf leather and features a gunmetal buckle-fastening strap.
A good, heeled boot will seamlessly take you from day to night. Our selection of knee-high boots spans everything from block to stiletto heels. Silhouettes such as Freya, Dalia, and Belmore will all make versatile additions to your repertoire.
Balanced on a sleek stiletto heel, Freya’s minimalist silhouette is softened by its rounded-off pointed toe. Supple calf leather is lined in nylon and finished with an internal elasticated stretch panel for a glove-like fit.
Dalia is your sleek, mid-heel boot that exudes easy elegance. This modern style is crafted from supple European-sourced calf leather and sits upon a statement stacked heel.
A footwear classic and DuoBoots staple, the knee-high Belmore is crafted from European-sourced calf leather and set upon a block heel. A platform sole and memory foam insole provides cushioning and comfort, while an internal elasticated stretch panel ensures a neat and comfortable wear.
Western-inspired boots are a trend that comes around time and again – in our eyes, making them a worthy investment. Our Saffron Knee High Boots come in tan or black suede and subtly nod to the aesthetic.
