Jixerman Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I am going to be buying some boots for the missus and I've noticed is recent years more and more ladies boots becoming availableOn a practical level, fashion/styling aside, does it really matter?Obviously women have smaller feets (in most cases O_o) so is it just about the length of the foot?

Fast Eddie Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I think there's something about arches and calves too, but cant remember what. Best to just let her try on loads and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iiisecondcreep Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Have a look at this thread: viewtopic.php?f=32&t=43890She'll need to to try before she buys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonniebird Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Some of it is styling but women, on average, have slightly different shaped feet, are generally shorter so less distance between foot and calf and generally less straight legs (curvier calfs). This means that we often find it hard to find boots that fit well.Having said that, I tried on loads of 'ladies' boots only to settle on standard Sidi Black Rains because they fit the best.I have quite big feet though (6 1/2 or 7 to allow for thick socks) so can usually choose from 'men's' ranges as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jixerman Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Great Thanks all for the input and for the link I couldn't find linky when I was searching, so got fed up and reinvented the wheel Figuratively speaking of course Off out in a bit to see what we can find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecat Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 its also about the size or level of adjustment in the calf /ankle area... some cheaper boots dont have any adjustment, and are too slim fitting to go over trousers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jixerman Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Boots boughtSat the moaning bitch missus down and made her try everything they had that fitted her, even the ones she she didn't like the look of She settled on some waterproof Alpinestars SMX 5's As soon as she put them on I got the look of approval I needed some new boots as well as my old ones leaked like a seive Not wanting to be outdone or do the tweedle dum and tweedle dee thing I tried a few of the others on making extra special effort to avoid the ones the missus chose Ended up with the same though as I found them snug and very comfy All kitted out now ready for the soash at Ian and Sues next weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
