Every year I want to buy long leather boots but despite not having fat legs I have big calves and so can never do up the last 2 inches of the zip on standard boots. Is there any way to stretch the leather to make them fit? I don't want to buy the ones that have elastic at the top - I think they look horrible. Thanks

You could also try looping a shoelace through the zip and pulling on that - you can exert a lot more pressure and will probably find that most boots will do up that way.

yes i have the same problem the amount off boots i have try ed on only to get so far and the zip wont go anymore
OK first if you do find a pair that you can just about get up get them and when you are home and no ones looking you will get them up i do trust me
second have you tried a pair the next size up and wear thick socks that works as well but look for a brand called ecco
they are very nice boots and will give that little bit with a bit off pulling you can get them from marks and bhs and they are about £50 hope that helps

nicely i'm multiple pairs of leather-based gloves as they're a groovy and fashionable component to positioned on - granted i'm into unfashionable 50s stuff so gloves end an outfit. yet those in the pub would desire to purely have needed an honest pair of gloves. leather-based gloves from a stable shop value in excess of £15 so something it is extra value-effective than that must be snapped up. and that they are not unavoidably for them - their grannies and mothers might like a pair of gloves and yuletide is only 3 months away.

There was a feature in November's Prima (yes, I know I'm very sad!) that has a lovely pair of black, high heeled, high length boots in 21 calf widths. They're a bit pricey (£130)! and are from Duo (www.duoboots.com) and no elastic. Hope this helps.

Take them into a shoe repair shop. Leather stretches a little bit. Men do this all the time. They have those little wooden things they shove into the shoe, and then wind it so it stretches. I'm sure a shoe repairman can help you. Don't risk tugging. You could ruin the zipper.

Try Evans. Yes, I know you're not fat!
I think shoetailor.com also do wider calf widths.
