I do have large calves. Guess I need to look into extended calf sizing. </p> <p>@Anagram: I wouldn't be bothered if this happened while walking or from old wear and tear. however, these a brand spanking new. Haven't even worn them out yet. I just put them on and noticed the bunching. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leather-boots-bunching-around-ankles#post-2349316 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 14:16:52 +0000 petunia354 2349316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: How cute are you?!

I thought this was normal for real leather boots, since leather stretches and your ankle moves so much when walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leather-boots-bunching-around-ankles#post-2349300 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 14:11:04 +0000 rachiecakes 2349300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boots do this too (Lucky Brand, pebbled leather) but there's plenty of room up top.. </p> [attach=1845/15/nxkamg.600x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leather-boots-bunching-around-ankles#post-2349266 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 13:55:29 +0000 lamariniere 2349266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's interesting about boots being tight at the top. My boots are not tight on my calves at all, and I still get bunching with one pair, but again, the leathers are different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leather-boots-bunching-around-ankles#post-2349260 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 13:53:01 +0000 pwnstar 2349260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: If there isn't any extra room at the top (where your calf is), you're much more likely to get bunching. The only way to get rid of the bunching is to size up (or get the same size with a larger calf circumference, if available) or wear thinner bottoms (if you're wearing jeans or thick tights). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leather-boots-bunching-around-ankles#post-2349258 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 13:52:12 +0000 nana87 2349258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is why I get the extended calf sizing. I have the same boots! The larger calf sizing helps </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leather-boots-bunching-around-ankles#post-2349236 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 13:41:38 +0000 Alivoo01 2349236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pwnstar: @Truth Bombs: They fit snugly around my calves, but they're pulled up all the way. </p> <p>@PurplePumps: Yea, they're really bothering me so I'm going to return them. I'm so sad! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leather-boots-bunching-around-ankles#post-2347028 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 13:39:05 +0000 Truth Bombs 2347028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the same thought as @pwnstar: This can happen if they are tight on your calf and can't be pulled all the way up to stay straight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leather-boots-bunching-around-ankles#post-2347026 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 13:38:15 +0000 sunny 2347026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I notice this with my (not Frye) boots too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leather-boots-bunching-around-ankles#post-2347020 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 13:32:29 +0000 pwnstar 2347020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Are they tight around your calves? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leather-boots-bunching-around-ankles#post-2347014 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 13:24:59 +0000 Greentea 2347014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yet another problem with knee high boots! That would bother me.</p> <p>You know how some look tilted forward in the ad? Those are most likely the ones that will bunch, know what I mean? I don't know why they make them like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leather-boots-bunching-around-ankles#post-2346935 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 12:37:07 +0000 lamariniere 2346935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it may depend on the leather. I have 2 pairs of Fryes that are the exact same style but one pair is about the same color as yours and the other pair is black. The leather on the tan pair is softer and kind of bunches. The black pair is smooth/stiff leather and they don't bunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leather-boots-bunching-around-ankles#post-2346779 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 11:20:45 +0000 PurplePumps 2346779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had that problem with their (i think) melissa riding boots. I couldn't stand it and returned it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leather-boots-bunching-around-ankles#post-2346677 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 10:32:05 +0000 jetsa 2346677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I own those boots and have the same issue. It bothers me because I kind of think they're a 1/2 size too small so why are they bunching?!?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leather-boots-bunching-around-ankles#post-2346654 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 10:24:42 +0000 Alivoo01 2346654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a pair of Frye boots, but when I put them on, they bunch around my ankles. Is this normal? I expected them to be smooth/straight and only bunch when I'm walking. Not when I'm standing still. They fit me size wise, if not a bit snug. </p> <p>[attach=303/15/nxeg56.600x600.image.jpeg]</p> <p>[attach=303/15/nxeg57.600x600.image.jpeg] </p>
