Boots for short legs?

[glw]

I'm looking for flat, brown, leather riding boots, size 7.5. I have small calves (12") and short legs (anything taller than 14.5" hits me in the back of the knee), so I'm having trouble finding shafts small enough.

I have bought and returned these so far:


Nine West Diablo


Ralph Lauren Marion


Crown Vintage Carlee



I liked the style of all of those but they were all either too wide, too tall, or both.

Anyone have the same issues and find a pair that fits?

I have a whole board I created 2 yes ago so not sure if these are still available but hopefully amazon or zappos might have them.

Ooh, thank you!

Started thinking I was going to be all alone here with my lil stump legs. lol

I also have small calves and I am short. If you are willing to spend some more $$ the following brands have smaller calf inseams - Aquatalia, La Canadienne, Ted & Muffy. I got lucky and found a bunch of Aquatalia boots at Nordstrom Rack for $100 - they typically run 450 -600, they are really good quality, most are water resistant and I think they would last longer than most brands. Amazon has some on sale as well. You can search my old posts for more info. I have also found some Frye run smaller as well.

I would recommend the blog Extra Petite as she reviews boots for smaller calfs/shorter ladies.

Thanks! I'm going to try the Ariat York that she recommends next!

I have also need boots for small calves. I have probably purchased and sent back 3-4 pairs this fall. Last year, I found some nice brown boots from the brand, Gabor at Nordstrom that fit my calves. With the magic of the internet, I was also able to find them in black in a CA shoe store.

Here are the boots - check out the brand for other styles, while pricy, they are really nice quality. I don't see them in brown anywhere, but here they are in black.

Franco Sarto sometimes has boots with small calves, but I have not found any this year that fit me right.

What about these? They are the Ariat York Riding Boots. Jean from Extra Petite did a review of them and they might work.
