My 11 year old custom tall boots are disintegrating and after 3 rounds of repair, and I am searching for my next pair.
My dimensions are as follows: calf (31cm) and height (44cm) for shoe size (7.5/38). Does anyone have recommendations on brands that I should look into? I am open to custom/semi custom or off the shelf, but trying to keep the budget under $750.
Treadstep Donatello slim tall might work. I have bird legs too and the slim is actually too slim for me.
I have a similar predicament, but somewhat inverse. ‘Slim’ in some brands fits me, though they’re never quite tall enough. 44 cm well within the scope of most brands’ regular height, but 31 cm is going to be a tough size to find for width. Could you go semi custom, or find something close and engage an [excellent] local cobbler to slim it down for you?
Deniro XXS Tall 38 off the rack work for me with almost identical measurements. The are the slightest bit roomy, but I’ve really appreciated being able to add a pair of socks in the winter. Their entry level ones are “meh” in terms of durability, I’ll be upgrading to the next level up as my everyday boot (Salento?) but will be ordering from abroad as the prices are a bit better. I do have a pair of customs from them that are holding up very well but are lightly used.
Romatelli are Italian, fit well, off the rack for around $900.
Google the Ariat size charts, their xslim calf/med height in size 7.5 is 31cm/46cm. I haven’t seen the xslim offered in stores so you may need to contact Ariat directly.
I just started wearing Ego7 boots and love them. Lots of sizes. They fit as well as my custom Der Daus that I show in.
I have close to 50cm height requirement, ~30ishcm width, and like… no budget. I bought a pair of mountain horse boots from a friend for super cheap, and had my local leather guy add a “spanish top” type cuff on them to give them about 5 extra cms. Altogether it cost me $160 for a great set of boots.

I have a 13.5" calf and 20.5 leg length – I bought tredstep donatellos, xtall, xslim, in a size larger footbed than I normally wear. I feel your pain.
