Anyone with narrow calves own boots that fit tightly around your legs? I can't find a pair of boots that don't gap at the calf anywhere.
-
I have a pair of naturalizer ones from a couple of years ago. They fit well in the calf - no gaping hole.
-
My Aldo boots fit very well around my narrow calves. They look great with leggings, no big gap.
-
I'm not sure what is considered narrow, mine are about 14" around, and I love Naughty Monkey boots.
-
@PurplePumps: 13"!
14" and bigger leave a big ol' gap around my leg. Hate it.
-
Nope can't find them, so I go for a stiff boot that at least holds up!
-
You all get nothing but my unbridled jealousy.

Target has really narrow boots! I don't have thin or wide calves, and they are tight against my legs. I can only wear tights, leggings or very thin pants with them.

I think the Frye Melissa Back-Zip is pretty narrow around the calves (at least that seems to be the only complaint in the reviews!) I love mine, and my calves are pretty narrow.
ETA: it looks like the circumference is 14," so maybe that's still too wide for you. I'd use thick boot socks!

@espion: me too! I'm always looking for the wide calf stretchy boots
-
I have a pair of Corso Como boots (actually, I have three pairs, love them) that are on the narrow side. My problem though, is at the ankles, I still have some bunching there.

Sam Edelmans!

I wore my boots into the ground after 5 years because of this same problem. They are expensive, but I just got a pair of Tory Burch boots and the calf is great. I just looked for ones with reviews saying they were "too tight in the calf."
-
I have 12" calves. I finally ended up splurging on a pair of Frye Melissa lace up boots. I also have a pair of older Keen Bern Baby Bern's that fit, but my model had a lambs wool lining and lambs wool on the top of the boot which helped cover any gapping. The newer model doesnt appear to have that.

@mrs. bird: NICE! Thanks!
@LemonLong: well that's smart!I have a pair of B.O.C. boots that fit perfectly with boot socks so I know they're wider than 13" but I can deal with socks under. I learned my lesson. Next time I find a pair narrow enough (and on sale), buy one in black and one in brown!
@SeptMomma12: hahaha that is the type of review I'm looking for!
@keepcalmcarrie: while researching this it seems like Frye has a good selection of narrow calf boots. Too bad they're all like $300+!!

Michael Kors all have pretty small calves on them. I'm wearing a pair right now that are half leather and half some kind of stretchy material and they don't gap at all. Today I'm wearing jeans with them but I wear them with leggings all the time and no gaps.
