Boots for men with skinny calves

[Waaarrrggghhh]

I am a very unfortunate body shape for motorcycle gear

Tall
Skinny
broad shoulders
spindly legs

So it's difficult to find stuff that fits well, I got some full length boots off amazon that fit ok but are way too loose around my lower leg.

Anyone know what kind of boots would be good for a guy with skinny legs like me?

I am interested in buying these, would those straps let me fasten it really tightly around my tiny calves?

Either works.

I normally wear Hood kevlar armoured jeans. In summer I wear the jeans outside the boots. In winter and wet weather I tuck the jeans inside, and have waterproof trousers on the outside (that way the bottom of the jeans doesn't get wet and wick up my legs).

There is a school of fashion thought that leathers go inside boots, textiles/jeans outside.

Edit to add: alternatively, with a little less protection but more budget friendly, some on here swear by British Army boots (available on eBay).

In bad weather I wear BMW goretex touring leather trousers. They go over the top of my boots - if they went inside then water would run into the boots. I'm guessing that leathers tucked into boots stopped them flapping for racing.

I know what you mean though. Jeans inside boots looks odd to me (or gives a skinhead/bovver boy look - which may be what was intended).

Fit really well

Oddly I seem to have the reverse problem with some boots.
I looked at some RST boots (can't remember which but around £80) but they just wouldn't zip up around my thick calf muscles/fat...
Ended up with some J&S generic cheap boots until I can afford some goretex ones that fit

Have you actually visited a bike gear shop (that sells boots of course) to see which makes/types fit and which don't?

Go for an altberg fitting. I appear to have wide but low volume feet and the fit I get from some made to order altbergs is amazing compared to off the shelf. I'd recommend the clubman classics which velcro up so fit my slender ankles and oversize calves but they are discontinued.

Given my other half is reasonably slim and struggles to find boots that zip up her legs - maybe you should look at women's boots?

The "women's" bit is largely marketing (and fit), they generally aren't bright pink and flowery (though some do have heels).

RST TracTech boots are great, survived a nasty impact and I only got a slight fracture. Warm as well as waterproof. My calves aren't even that big really so should suit well.
