An important word about cubic zirconia Cubic zirconia (CZ) is the best diamond simulation made to date, and even some jewelers have mistaken these stones for diamonds. Rings and bracelets are particularly vulnerable, since they are more susceptible to blows or knocks; brooches, pendants, and earrings are less vulnerable. In this type of setting, the shank (metal part of the ring that goes around the finger) is one continuous piece that gets broader at the top, and is shaped on top into a dome.
If it is a diamond, have him note the nature of the stone's fluorescence, as it can prove a valuable tool for identification if ever needed. Today, with diffused sapphire being found mixed in parcels of natural sapphires and unknowingly set into jewelry, it's possible that one may be sold inadvertently. These gemstones include opal, zircon, and some of the new and increasing ly popular gems, such as iolte (water sapphire) and tanzanite.
Some diamond look-alikes, however, are more durable and resistant to noticeable wear. It is for this reason primarily that we (at The Jewelry Hut) recommend that gems and jewelry be purchased first and foremost for pleasure they will bring to the purchaser/wearer, or as something to be handed down to future generations. Be especially cautious when buying any blue sapphire; make sure you ask whether or not the gemstone has been checked for diffusion treatment.
Most of us are true novices when it comes to shopping for diamond rings and other jewelry. Husbands would provide their wives with these rings and the richer her spouse the more rings she would wear and they would only be removed after his death as they were believed to have strong ritual powers. Thankfully, in both the Pa Dong and the Ndebele tribes, this traditional practice is no longer popular and is now dying out in favour of the more usual types of necklaces.
Respected artists like Usher and Kanye West have taken to sporting diamond earrings. you love the Boho style that ruled 2005 or are sick of wearing fashions that make you feel like a newly-eighteen Olsen. The good news is everyone will love what fall and winter fashion has to offer.
Diamond imitations include some stones that are very soft and/or brittle, such as zircon, GGG (a man made simulation), Fabulite (a man made diamond simulation also know as Wellington Diamond), and glass. Mass produced jewelry, many of which are beautiful, classic designs, are usually much less expensive than handmade, one-of-a-kind pieces, or those on which there is a limited production. If the jeweler can t or won t provide the necessary information, then you go to another jewelry store, no matter how much you ve fallen in love with the piece.
While occasionally a diamond may show partial misalignment, imitations are frequently and often badly misaligned. Aside from variations in quality, which often are not readily discernible by the consumer, significant price differences can also result from differences in jewelry manufacturing processes. Many jewelry manufacturers sell mass produced lines of good quality jewelry to jewelers all across the country.
It should be noted that some poorer grade or old cut diamonds may also show sloppiness Are the crown and pavilion of the stone properly aligned. It was a favorite choice for rings given in love, some of which date back to earliest Indian history. Some one person jewelry forms are highly respected; others are not.
This sloppy faceting can be an important indication that the stone in question is not a diamond, since it indicated that a cutter did not take proper care. It was not long before the symbolism of circular ring was further enhanced by the addition of gems. Other colored gems believed to hold certain magical properties also become popular choices for betrothal rings.
Since diamond is so valuable and symmetry so important to its overall appearance and desirability, the symmetry of faceting on a diamond will be very carefully executed, whereas in diamond simulations the symmetry of the facets may be sloppy. By Roman times, it was an established tradition to give a ring, a symbol of the cycle of life and eternity, as a public pledge that the marriage contract between a man and woman would be honored. These early rings were made of iron, according to the accounts of Roman historians.
On the other hand, some diamonds do have polished or faceted girdles, and thus no frostiness will be present. In fact evidence of the engagement tradition dates back as far as the caveman. The Pharaohs of Egypt, however, are credited with being the first to use a ring in the form of a circular band as a symbol of eternity.
Single cut or Swiss cut diamonds will also show only 9 facets on the top, but they will be set in open back mountings, whereas cheap glass imitations are usually set in closed back mountings. No other single piece of jewelry will ever be as important. No matter how successful you become, no matter how magnificent other jewelry purchases might be, nothing carries with it the same excitement and magic.
Kelvin Ong is the owner of The Perfect Engagement, a website that offers reviews on online jewelry stores selling engagement rings and on books about marriage proposals and diamond engagement rings. You usually buy earrings to match your outfit, not outfits to match your earrings. Gem or No Gem The decision to wear an earring with a gemstone is largely based on occasion and personal preference.
Contrary to popular perception, diamond stud earrings are not just for women. Some people believe that if you own at least one set of jewelry containing ruby, it's good for your love life. Emerald Emerald is another popular choice among jewelry collectors.
In cheaper glass imitations only 9 top facets are usually visible, as opposed to 33 visible top facets in a diamond or good simulation. These rings have been a symbol of your love and commitment to each other and of your hopes and dreams for the future. To acquire gems and create distinctive rings in which to set them, the purchase of your engagement and wedding rings is one of the most significant purchases you ll ever make, both financially and emotionally.
Emeralds themselves are rare, and the extremely rare red emerald is said to be even more valuable than diamonds. Some old folks keep their jewelry all locked up in safes for their future use. Ruby Rubies are extremely popular choices for jewelry mainly because the color red is often associated with passion and love.
Some very small rose cut or single cut diamonds, as seen in some unique jewelry, Any be mounted with a closed back. The skill of present day jewelry designers continue to delight lovers with exquisite new ways of presenting the gemstone of their choice and incorporating the symbolism and traditions of centuries. When today's bride receives her engagement and wedding rings, she will become connected to men and women in love in both past and future generations.
Now you know why that diamond sparkles (or doesn t) it's all in the cut. This wearing of neck rings was also a practice adopted by women in South Africa and in particular those from the Ndebele tribe and these women have often been referred to as giraffe women because of their long necks. The Ndebele women traditionally wore copper and brass rings around their necks arms and legs as a symbol of their status in society and after marriage as a symbol of her bond and faithfulness to her husband.
The value of a diamond rises exponentially according to the weight of the diamond, because the larger the diamond, the more rare it is. Before storing your discount silver jewelry, be sure to examine it for any loose or missing parts. By following the steps for the care and storage of your discount silver jewelry outlined above, you can prevent damage and tarnish and increase the likelihood that your jewelry will last longer and look better.
If the stone is a properly set diamond, the back of the setting will usually be open, allowing you to readily see a portion of the pavilion. The Twentieth century and the Tiffany setting Dramatic changes in jewelry design took place in the late 19th century. As the role of woman changed from docile and demure to increasingly strong and independent, jewelry correspondingly became larger, bolder, and more assertive.

High Peak and Derbyshire Dales get into the Olympic Spirit
22nd May 2012
After the Olympic torch landed in the UK on Friday hundreds of people in both the High Peak and Derbyshire Dales people embraced the Olympic spirit over the weekend with Chinley Village Games on Saturday and Bamford Olympicnic Celebrations on Sunday.
With the help of around 40 volunteers Chinley Community Association ran a Family Decathlon with activities including an Olympic Torch fun run, welly-wanging, foam javelin, golf and a boules competition as well as a Tug-O-War tournament for all ages from pre-schoolers up to grandparents. Around 150 people took part in the decathlon with an estimated 350 people enjoying the day. The event was kindly sponsored by the Paper Mill Inn (formerly Oddfellows) in Whitehough which hosted an after-event party and also supported by High Peak Borough Councillor Audrey Bramah with money for medals and prizes from the Councillors' Initiative Fund.
Volunteer Nik Cook who helped organise the fun run said: "It was truly inspirational to see so many families and children taking part in the Village Games. The level of good natured competition between the boys and girls was brilliant."
Over at Bamford Derbyshire Dales Village Games teamed up with Bamford with Thornhill Recreation Ground Trust at Bamford with Thornhill Recreation Ground on Sunday around 300-400 people turned out for a fun-packed afternoon of activities including a sports session with Peak Active Sport, family rounders, Tug O War and finishing with a Bike Ride with Peak Park Rangers.
Katy Stubbs, Derbyshire Dales Village Games Officer said: "It was brilliant - the weather was a real help. Everyone loved all the range of activities on offer from the sports coaching to the tug of war with all ages on the rope from little 4 years olds right up to grandparents so it was really good fun."

Reposted with permission from London Cyclist.
For cycling enthusiasts, there is nothing like riding on the open road and witnessing magnificent sights as you ride across the country. Fortunately, there are many incredible cycling trails around the world that offer scenic wonders as well as a great means of exercise.
You'll want to be sure that you are fully prepared by being in good physical condition and having the right equipment and accessories, especially if it's a more challenging ride. Whether you are riding your bicycle around the yard or around the world, having bicycle insurance is a great way to protect your gear. Be sure that you are properly covered before taking your next trip.
Of the many different trails and routes available, there are 10 that top the list when it comes to offering magnificent sights and challenging rides. For vacation seekers who love to ride their bikes, these are the most iconic bicycle rides in the world.
1) The Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia
The Great Ocean Road is one of the engineering marvels of this continent. The 243-kilometer stretch of road is windy most of the time, but offers magnificent views of the ocean and marvelous geographic features such as the famed Twelve Apostles, a series of rock columns near the shoreline. If you don't have the time for the full run, the 60-km stretch between Torquay and Bells Beach can be ridden in a single day.
2) Isle of Wight, England
The famed Isle of Wight offers a great deal of varied terrain — from deep green gullies to rolling hills to trails by the sea. However, the most striking feature is the white chalk cliffs that stretch along most of the island. There are plenty of small towns with hotels, pubs and festivals designed to entice cyclists from around the world to enjoy this fabled island.
3) La Route Verte, Canada
Recently completed, this incredible route runs the length of Quebec province from east to west and features more than 2,485 miles of bicycle trails that have been carefully marked. The ever-changing terrain makes this a paradise of bike riding from the St. Lawrence River to the mountains of the Laurentides.
4) Udaipur City, Rajasthan, India
Ancient forts, beautiful temples and incredible palaces are found in this wonderful city. Riding your bike is the best way to see all of these wonders. The city itself combines Old World scenes of narrow streets, herdsmen tending their goats and camels with an atmosphere of grand wealth and beauty. For those who wish to see one of the most fascinating cities in Asia, a bicycle ride through the streets of Udaipur City is an incredible treat.
5) West Coast, Tasmania, Australia
Tasmania is still mostly undeveloped, and a bike ride along the west coast reveals some of the most stunning countryside in the world. From the wonders of Cradle Mountain, the most famous in Tasmania, to Montezuma Falls, the tallest waterfall, to wondrous lakes and ocean views, riding along the west coast of Tasmania is to take a trip back in time. Yet, there are plenty of modern conveniences along the way to make your trip more comfortable.
6) Underground Railroad Bicycle Route, USA/Canada
One of the longest routes in the world, this particular trail of five different sections adds up to 2,057 miles. You can spend a day or a month or more enjoying the trail, depending on how much of the U.S. and Canada you want to see. Established to honor those who helped slaves to freedom in the days before the Civil War, this route runs from Mobile, Alabama in the south to Owen Sound, Ontario in the north — with plenty of cultural museums along the way.
7) The Karakoram Highway, China/Pakistan
Easily the highest international road in the world, the Karakoram is also one of the most breathtaking in terms of incredible vistas of mountainous countryside. The snow-capped Karakoram Mountains are your constant companion as you traverse this amazing countryside, including the Hunza Valley. There are many villages along the way as well, and some of the glaciers reach the roadway.
8) Mont Ventoux and Luberon, Provence, France
While the hills of Luberon are a challenge for cyclists, the rewards of visiting ancient Roman ruins are certainly well worth the trip. The mixture of sun, pine forests and blue fields of lavender that stretch on for miles is a tremendous sight. The legendary Mont Ventoux, the sight of many great runs during the Tour de France, is the highlight of a trip to this region.
9) Ruta Austral, Chile
South America contributes to the world of cycling by offering a tremendous route from Puerto Montt in the central part of Chile south to the Villa O'Higgins which is located in northern Patagonia. While some of this route is still gravel, there are incredible stretches of wondrous landscapes, forests and the signature enormous ferns that surround the Puyuhuapi Hot Springs near Queulat. There are also a number of ferryboats that you will take along the way as well.
10) The Route of the Hiawatha, Idaho/Montana, USA
This may seem to be a short trail at 24 km, but it encompasses seven trestles and 10 tunnels, including the famed Taft Tunnel. What was once an old railroad is now a paved bike trail through the Bitterroot Mountains. It's somewhat remote, but the scenic vistas are certainly worth the trip. The entire route can be traveled in a single day, but the wonders of the countryside make this one of the best cycling trails in North America.
In addition to the top 10 most iconic bike trails in the world, there are many others which just missed the list, including the famed Muda Biddi Trail in western Australia, the San Juan Islands in Washington, USA, and the trail around the Sun Moon Lake in Taichung, Taiwan. All of these trails provide views of spectacular countryside while offering cyclists a means of enjoying their favorite hobby.
We rode the Path of the Hiawatha last year (2015). It is not paved, but is hard packed dirt. We did it on a tandem recumbent. It was a very pretty ride. I would not recommend it for a road bike with narrow tires. If you are going to be in northern Idaho, you should also look at Trail of the Couer D Alenes. It is 70 miles long and paved. It is a beautiful ride as well. I agree with the comments below about the definition of a bike trail and with the idea that there are lots of opportunities in the US for us non-globe-trotters.
I have to agree with Medic 1. MEN should publish a top-ten list of regional domestic bike trails. Following the time zone standard - Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern U.S. - would make it easy to segment.
Definition of "bike trail" can be pretty loose. The Underground Railroad bicycle "trail" is a mix of surfaces, part of it is placid and separate, but part of it on pavement shared with car exhaust and Heavy-Trucks. I wish I had a dollar for every time I found myself directed onto a high-traffic road or street that was somehow defined as "bike trail". Not safe. Not fun. If we restrict the definition to "paved, car-free bike trails", then the list and the distances fall way-y-y down. For those who are interested in long-distance cycling: I'd suggest two: #1 is the C&O / GAP linear trail that links Pittsburgh to DC - 330 miles, with a mix of pavements of gravel, dirt, and asphalt. #2 is my region's Southwest Ohio / Miami Valley Bikeway system, which are continuous, all-asphalt and link multiple cities - roughly 300 miles. These are much shorter than some distances in this article, but provide the safety of separate paths. By my reckoning, these are the two longest dedicated bike paths in the USA for 2013.
Been an avid mother earther for over 40 years. Have seen the magazine grow as a self help / soft tech type of enterprise to the yuppie sort and then back again. I hope it is not migrating to the yuppy type magazine again. I am interested to see how many people actually like this article. Personally I believe that most mother earthers are not able to globe trot to utilize these trails. I am sure that there are equivalent bike trails here at home that are worth publishing.

Original Lyrics:
He used to try to talk to this girl named Fran.
Story about this misheard lyric by: Devin
I know Vapors came out before Biz Markie's hit song Just a Friend. I figured Vapors was the precursor to Just a Friend. I thought the guy Biz Markie refers to as "he" might have considered that girl just a friend and gave her the nickname "Friend" in order to show that she's not his girlfriend. It turns out that the girl's name is Fran.
"Just A Friend"
The Funny Lyrics:
You, you got what I need
But you say, 'he's just a friend'.
Why They're Funny:
These lines have always amused me because the way he sings them makes it sound like 'he' is 'what I need'.

"Just A Friend"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
So I came to her room
And opened the door
Oh, snap, guess what I saw
A fella tongue kissing
My girl in the mouth
I was so in shock
My heart went down south
Why They're Nonsensical:
Earlier in the song -- twice, actually -- the girl tells Biz about her 'friend' and he clearly doesn't believe that the guy is 'just a friend'. So why is he now going to visit her, totally unsuspecting, and totally shocked by seeing them together?

PRIME MINISTER: Well thank you very much Prime Minister, we've had some very constructive discussions just a moment ago with President Trump.
Of course we've talked about the economic and trade issues, strategic issues over the last few days and of course, in many meetings in the past. We share the same values and the same strategic objectives as you've just observed and we look forward to having further discussions as we build and strengthen our strategic partnership between Australia and Japan.
HIS EXCELLENCY MR SHINZO ABE, PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN - TRANSLATION: Great to see you again Malcolm and I am very happy that we now have another round of summit meetings.
As you rightly mentioned, we do share fundamental values and at the same time, we both have alliances with the United States and that is the foundation for respective policies.
So, I do think that now is the time for us to reinforce this important bilateral relationship between Japan and Australia.
And also as for the entire Indo-Pacific region, my aspiration is to realise a free and open order in this region, which will be equally open to every single nation, especially in terms of the maritime order.
And also I would to like make this region an international [inaudible] which would bring benefits to every corner of the world. So for that common objective I stand ready to further cooperate with you.

Residential Projects
Dosch-King has been installing high end decorative stone-seal driveways for over 5 decades throughout the tri-state and Southern New England area. For homes, estates, horse farms, walking trails and beach communities. With many different colors, shades and shapes you're sure to find a look that fits your style and décor.
Services provided:
- Full installation from new homes to existing driveways requiring a resurfacing
- Two tone look with border one color and body of driveway a second shade
- Gravel only installations
How we do it
Step #1 Preparation
If the driveway is existing but in poor shape it would be recommended to remove it. New virgin material should then be installed and graded for proper drainage.
Step #2 Installation
Once the aggregate surface is properly compacted the emulsion can then be applied accurately to the desired application rate as determined based on the existing conditions. Once the emulsion is applied the desired aggregate should be immediately placed to ensure proper adhesion.
Step#3 Compaction
As soon as the product are installed material should be rolled and compacted to ensure adhesion and grades have been maintained.

Stage 1: Possibility
You're coming up with all the easy stuff. You might have some interesting starter ideas, but really, you probably have nothing. It feels like fun, free-range exploration. You're probably saying to yourself, "Here's a cool idea. Here's another one. And another. Man, I'm pretty good."
Stage 2: Doubt
As you begin to look at your ideas more closely, you realize, um… they're actually not that great. Doubt sets in and uncertainty set in. You might become defensive, and start questioning the process, and yourself.
Stage 3: Agony
The most grueling of all steps in the creative process, this stage is a red-blooded struggle. Nothing seems to work. Your co-workers get stressed by the perceived lack of progress. You worry that you'll be exposed as a hack. Ughhh. Suddenly, the whole project seriously sucks.
Stage 4: Epiphany
You've done it! You've just invented a big, new idea. With a burst of energy and relief, your breakthrough has happened.
Stage 5: Finesse
Now you're crafting the raw idea to be more strategic and purposeful. Your skill and training really begins to shine through, as you hone and refine your concept into the best possible execution. Now you gain momentum with focused, purposeful engagement. The goal is in sight.

It's no surprise that the 2017 Sensis Social Media Report has found that our growing obsession with smartphones has driven more people onto social platforms than ever before. 79% of all people are using social media and amongst people 18-29 that stat jumps to a staggering 99%. The biggest increase in usage compared to last year is amongst those 30-39 (up 14 points to 96% usage) and those aged 40-49 (up 16 points to 86% usage).
What makes social media so addictive? One main reason could be the burst of dopamine we all feel when one of our posts gets lots of likes and comments. The report found that 63% of 18-29 year olds were excited when their post received more likes on social media than they expected and 37% felt anxiety when they were away from their phones and weren't able to monitor their social media accounts.
With smartphones comes access, anywhere, all of the time. The Sensis report pulled some pretty embarrassing stats, like that 33% of 30-39 year olds admitted to checking social media while eating with their family and friends and that 14% of people use social media while on the toilet (no real surprise there).
Our love for visual content grows stronger
Everyone loves to feel inspired, and that's what visual content is able to do really well. The report found that platforms that appeal to our love of visual content were preferred this year. Although Facebook remains to be the dominant platform with 94% of social media users on the platform, visual heavy platforms such as Instagram (from 31% to 46%) and Snapchat (22% to 40%) have seen the biggest increase in usage amongst Aussies.
Interestingly, despite commentary around the decline of Twitter, the report says the platform has also seen an uplift in users this year from 19% to 32%. As more people are accessing social media from their smartphones, it's important for all content to be designed not only for the platform, but with the device in mind as well.
First impressions count
People are more likely to inspect a brand's social media presence before making an online purchase if they have not purchased from their website before. Therefore, it is critical that your social media pages give users the information they require immediately, as you only have their attention for a very limited amount of time. Customer service must also be exceptional and there is an expectation that brands respond to customers immediately.
Quality over quantity
Eighty-nine percent of people use social media to connect to friends, whereas the report found that only 18% of people use social media to connect to a brand. This presents a challenge for brands vying for consumers' attention in the Newsfeed. However, as we know, with every challenge comes an opportunity and brands must be smart and innovative in their content approach to cut through the noise.
The factors that are most likely to deter people from following a company or brand include irrelevant or unappealing content, excessive content and too many ads, so always stick to the rule of quality over quantity. The good news is people are becoming more trusting of ads and 52% of people who researched a product said they went on to purchase. This means there is a huge opportunity to turn social media audiences into paying customers, you just need the right approach and great content.
Other key takeaways from the report include:
- 57% of people use social first thing in the morning vs. 71% of people use social media in the evening
- 35% of people use social networking sites more than 5 times a day
- The most common items researched are clothing and fashion
- The content most shared is food and selfies
- 9% of people engage with brands (rather than emailing or phoning) for customer service issues
- 25% of people have used Facebook Live to watch video content
- A significant number of people are using the new Story functions – Facebook 44%, Snapchat 37% and Instagram 36%

Wearing tall boots is one of the best ways to keep your legs shielded from the elements once cooler weather sets in. Tall boots are also a great way to add an intriguing fashion statement to almost any outfit. Most footwear designers sadly tend to only design boots for women with the "average" sized legs. Ladies with narrow calves can be left feeling left out and cold! With so few brands making shoes for women with slim legs, finding a pair that meets your personal style qualifications can mean spending a lot of time hunting and possibly compromising on what you specifically want in a tall boot!
If you are one of those ladies having trouble finding fashion-forward tall boots that fit you well, then you've come to the right place. Here is a list of fourteen of the absolute best tall narrow calf boots made specifically for females with slender legs.
Selection of Some of the Best Styles for Slim Legs
1. Sofft Sharnell Athens Boots Bring Warmth And Casual Style To Skinny Calves
The Sofft Sharnell Athens Boots can be easily classed as a casual boot, but that doesn't mean that women with slim legs can't expect a good fit. This leather tall boot is made from full-grain leather and comes in many colors including the whiskey colour with some distressing and warm tones. There is also a prominent rubber sole and a full-length zip to add to this casual look. Despite this, there is still a strong shape and the lacing on the back help to provide a custom fit on narrow legs. There is a lot of positive feedback on this element, as well as the general sizing.
This is the sort of boot that women can enjoy as a day-to-day option rather than something for work. Many happy buyers say that it is the perfect piece of footwear to pair with jeans in the autumn. This is enhanced by the fact that there are so many beneficial features for long term comfort and support. The shoes are well padded, with their "generous" leather-lined footbed, there are microfibre linings in place for a softer feel and there is decent arch support. Women can wear this long term and appreciate all the benefits.
2. Bed Stu Glaye Boots
Bed Stu Glaye are a popular equestrian brand that have benefited in their riding boot lines. They are perfect for women with slim calves. Priced in the higher market range, they are very reasonable considering the high-status brand they come from. They can also be used as riding boots for additional versatility.
These leather boots are completely comfortable with a soft fabric lining for extra warmth and coziness. They have a partial back zipper for ease when wearing and taking them off. There is also a size zipper to secure your foot in the boot and help you get a secure fit while wearing them.
If you're looking for a tough boot that you can wear in the yard as well as to a riding event, then you need to look at the Bed Stu Glaye. With its numerous features, it is not only diverse but also comfortable.
With a 16 inch shaft and a 14.5-inch calf circumference, it is the ideal tall boot for those with narrow calves. The partial leather sole and rubber plates guarantee maximum traction and shock absorption so that you can ride home in style and comfort.
3. Kaitlyn Pan Block Heel Microsuede Slim Boots
This boot is an absolute winner as far as narrow calf boots go. It is the one boot that will not only stand out but will have all your friends asking, "Where did you buy it ??" First of all, it is made from microsuede material which boasts of the highest standards in quality and durability.
And while it's amazingly sturdy and tough in that respect, it is unlikely to suffer the usual wear and tear. This is a welcome benefit especially if you wear boots a lot. Best of all, it is available in a variety of colors including gray, black, taupe and burgundy red.
Kaitlyn Pan Boots are extremely comfortable thanks to the lambskin insole and comfy shoe lining. The outer sole has been configured to mimic the shape of your foot and reduce any tension that may come after walking for long distances.
As per the product description, the calf measurement is about 12 inches but can be stretched to 13.75 inches, while the opening of the boot is about 13.5 inches but can be stretched to 15.5 inches. The shaft height is approximately 23 inches. In addition, it has a heel of about 3 inches to complement your style.
Most consumers love this boot due to its ability to stand out; it definitely sets itself apart from other boots, yet serves a better purpose.
4. BCBGeneration Women's BG Eileen Slouch Boot
It's no surprise that this boot has been chosen again and again as being of the highest quality. First things first, it is a BCBGeneration product. All their boots go through an extraordinarily long process to ensure they last the test of time.
This particular boot is super durable- it is made of suede, a type of microfiber that maintains a comfort level in all seasons for your feet. Aside from that, it has a flexible shaft for comfort and interior side zip closure for ease when wearing and taking them off.
This boot comes in an array of different colors so you can be assured of a wide range to choose from. It has a slim boot opening of about 14.5 inches, a heel of about 4 inches and a shaft that measures approximately 17 inches from the arch.
With regards to comfort, the boot is lightweight and has a well-constructed interior. The synthetic sole enhances its coziness and prevents slip and fall accidents during rainy seasons. In addition, it has a stylish buckle at the ankle that gives the wearer a snug fit.
Most boots bearing all these features would cost an upwards of $200, but this boot costs only half of that, thus earning its title as the best value for money. Overall, it is one of the best boots in the market and is perfect for every foot and every woman.
5. Sofft – Women's -Wheaton Knee High Boot
Sofft Wheaton knee-high boots are the ideal narrow calf boots for women looking for comfort and elegance in a single package. These boots are specially designed with a 13-inch calf circumference, a 2.5-inch heel, and a 16-inch shaft profile. The fact that they are made of full-grain leather qualifies them as a top contender in terms of comfort and luxury.
Other than that, the Wheaton boots are one to beat with regards to convenience and attention to detail. They are extremely slim and envelope skinny legs like a glove. They are also perfectly contoured and offer adequate support from the heel to the toe. This makes it particularly ideal for seasons at the yard or even walking the dogs.
The comfortable leather lining automatically responds to your leg's shape and weight. This alone is enough to give you a perfect fit while keeping your feet warm and cozy. In addition, they feature adjustable laces for those with very slender calves.
The sole is made from leather for an excellent grip and steady tread- which is definitely what you need when navigating unfavorable conditions. They are easy to take on and off thanks to the full-length side zip closure, so there's minimum hassle getting them on and off your legs.
Best for work and general use, these boots are the best on the market. If you're looking for narrow calf boots at a cheap price, then these are the boots to consider.
6. Bed Stu Burnley Boots
Slim calf boots don't have to be super skinny if there's a way of adjusting the size to ensure a close and comfortable fit. The Bed Stu Burnley boot does a great job at this by providing a boot that laces up over skinny jeans for a secure fit.
This stylistic lacing on the 15.5-inch shaft is the secret weapon in this riding boot. It is designed to stand out and look elegant against the smooth leather over the entire upholstery. In addition, there's a side-zipper to offer ease when wearing and taking the boot off.
There's quite a lot going on with the stitching, the harness around the ankle and the small 1.25-inch block heel as well as the padded insole. However, as you can see, it all comes together to form a seriously eye-catching narrow calf boot.
Whether you're looking for lightweight performance or superior comfort, you're assured of complete satisfaction thanks to the soft leather lining and rubber traction outsole.
The best part is that it is stylish enough to be worn anywhere and also durable enough to last several years. It will set you back $385, but it certainly offers good value for your money.
7. Timberland Women's Atlantic Riding Boot
There are literally thousands of boots available to consumers, but just like other products, they are not all created equal. It shouldn't, therefore, come as a surprise that Timberland makes the best narrow calf boots.
Without doubt, this is one of the best slim boots that you'll ever buy. It is made from top quality leather and offers just the amount of comfort and durability you'd expect from a high-end product.
The boot itself has a synthetic medium heeled sole and a convenient side zip for ease of entry. It is definitely the most fashionable boot under the narrow boots category. You'll totally fall in love with both the wheat forty and black forty colors.
The shaft is approximately 15.5 inches from arch while the heel is about 2.5 inches. The boot's opening measures about 14.5 inches. This is a shoe that you can wear when riding your bike or your horse, or to a friend's party when you want to pull that trendy tough girl image.
Without doubt, they are the best boots for thin calves in this category, and there's no reason why you shouldn't own them.
8. La Canadienne Women's Passion Boot
If you've ever owned a pair of La Canadienne boots before, there's a chance you'll never want to buy another brand again because of its unrivaled comfort. The Passion Boot is made of premium Italian leather and comes in black and brown. It's a great boot for anyone who walks to work, because no matter what the weather these boots are sure keep your feet warm and dry. The outside is waterproof and has a cuff seam line at the top which is a cute detail. These boots are sixteen inches from the shaft to the top of the boot, so that should mean a mid-knee fit for fashionistas with typical length legs.
These boots are clearly designed for ladies with narrow calves as the boot opening is fourteen inches around. The heel isn't too small or too tall; it's an inch and a half high. The inside is lined with microfiber, which is exceptionally warm. Women can certainly appreciate that on cold weather days. The round toe is great for ladies who need a little wiggle room in the front of their shoes for comfort. The calf goring insert will give a little flexibility while fashionistas walk down the runway, or just down the street.
9. Naughty Monkey Women's Boot
This is one of the most sought-after boots for skinny legs, and it truly deserves its stardom. The boot sets itself apart in terms of elegance and style. It features a stylish upper leather blending in subtle elements found in elite craftsmanship.

The shaft is 15 inches from the arch, while the heel is approximately 1.25 inches. The opening of this boot is about 13.5 inches.
This boot goes well with skinny jeans and is ideal for women with thin legs. You can wear the boot when riding your bike, your horse or during a casual function such as a party.
Everything considered, this is one pair of boots that you should definitely own. Buy it today and witness its beauty and functionality first hand.
10. Essex Glam Women's Over the Knee Boots

8 Tips on Buying Boots for Slim Legs
Petite women with wider legs usually believe that taller women are luckier, but skinny legs can pose a great deal of challenges when boot shopping. The most common one being the size dilemma, as finding boots that are snug around the calf area is tough. Most riding boots are designed to give a streamline fit to the legs, and thus tend to look a bit baggy at the calves. Finding narrow-calf boots that fit well and yet provide comfort for prolonged wear is not easy.
So, if you are having a hard time choosing narrow-calf boots, consider reading the following tips as they will help you find boots with the correct calf width.
#1 Know Your Size: The very first step to buying boots that flatter your slim legs is knowing your size. You can do so by measuring the widest part of your calf using a soft and flexible measuring tape. Make sure to measure in both centimeters and inches. This is because, European sizes are labeled in centimeters, while US sizes are labeled in inches. Shopping becomes easier when you armed with your measurement. If you are thinking of shopping online, just type "boots with 13 inch" circumference" on the search bar. This size usually works well for slim legs.
#2 Look for Boots With Adjustable Features: If you are fed up of having to make do with boots that look a tad bit baggy, then it's time you shop for boot styles with adjustable buckles, buttons or ties at the calf. Adjustable features like these enable you to customize the circumference of the calf and manipulate the calf width based on your size. This not only offers a better fit but also does justice to your slender calves. Another great choice is the button style boot, or the lace-up type. These two types are adjustable and look more snug on the legs, rather than the typical baggy appearance of ordinary boots.
#3 Choose Mid-Heel Boots: While most petites believe that taller women have an advantage with their height, that's not the complete truth, especially for ladies who are tall with too slim legs. For such women, it's always advisable to wear mid-heels or kitten-heels, otherwise they look rather towering and awkward. A mid-heel boot or a kitten heel boot shifts the focus to the feet in a gentle way and gives a proportionate look to the entire body. On the other hand, higher heels only make slender legs look even slimmer and longer. Hence, if you are worried about looking too slim with your boots, go for the mid-heel ones.
#4 Ensure The Shaft Isn't Too High: This tip is important, especially for petite women. When choosing tall riding boots, you should ensure that the shaft isn't too high, but just about feels right while walking around. Basically, a boot may fit the calf but still gape if its length is too long in comparison to your leg. If you find this happening with you very often, then it's advisable to shop for boots with a short shaft height. You will find a couple of styles featured on online stores.
#5 Consider Buying Stretchable Boots: Stretchable boots make excellent options for women with small or narrow calves. Basically, they are designed in a way to stretch out once the leg goes in. That is why they are narrower by default, as compared to the ordinary boot that comes in a "one size, fits all". Stretchable boots are also very comfy to parade around, and can be teamed up with skinny jeans or stockings, despite their narrow circumference. The major challenge with buying stretchy boots lies in choosing the correct size. It is advisable to buy one size smaller, especially if you are making the purchase from online retail stores.
#6 Go for Over-The-Knee/Mid-Calf Boots: One intelligent way to mask your extra slim calves with boots that fit and yet look stylish is by choosing over-the-knee riding boots or mid-calf boots. They are not only trendy this season but also work really well on all kinds of attire, right from formals to dresses. Basically, the reason why they are the perfect choice for women with skinny calves is because they end at the wider part of your leg, thereby giving them a more voluptuous look. Then again, choosing one of these boots is no walk in the park, as they can be really confusing in terms of size.
#7 Include Booties in Your Wardrobe: Have you ever thought of re-purposing your extra baggy boots with a pair of matching booties? Booties may be of quilt, hardware or chunky heel, but they all serve the same purpose: enhance the level of comfort and fit. Booties are an essential staple when winter comes calling, and they do a lot to hug skinny calves well in order to lend a greater fit. You can pair them up with cords or skinny jeans. However, just make sure not to team this look with a short skirt though, as this might look odd on your slender legs and even make them appear disproportionate to your body.
#8 Fill Out That Extra Room With Leg Warmers: Now this tip is for the impulsive buyer, that fell head over heels with an eye-catchy pair of wide boots, and ended up buying them without taking note of the size. Leg warmers come in a variety of cute and attractive options. They help add some dimension to balance your slender legs. You can also opt for boot tights or thick, knee-high socks. So, if you fall in love with boots made for wider calves, don't hesitate before buying them as you can always rely on a matching pair of leg warmers to lend the perfect fit you always desired.
With these tips under your belt, you will find it a breeze to buy a pair of stylish boots that fit well and do justice to your perfectly toned, slender legs. And in case, you do end up choosing a style that is a tad bit wide, you can always tailor them to narrow their circumference. As a word of advice, browse expensive brands for a more customized fit, as they ensure high-quality craftsmanship, in addition to durability and style.

Donald Trump was on Capitol Hill selling congeniality Thursday, but most South Florida lawmakers weren't buying.
Only one of the four Miami Republicans in Congress, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, attended one of the separate unity sessions the presumptive GOP presidential nominee held with House and Senate members from the party.
Sen. Marco Rubio, in a close re-election battle featuring opponents' characterizations of him as a no-show senator, was at a committee hearing.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen had meetings in her office and then prepared for a committee session on the U.S. military prison for alleged terrorists at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
Rep. Carlos Curbelo, in his first House term, said he had other priorities.
Diaz-Balart said he was glad the New Yorker reached out to him and about 200 other Republican House members.
"It was good to have an opportunity to listen to him in a small setting," Diaz-Balart told McClatchy. "He took a few questions. It's a good first step."
Diaz-Balart, however, said he was withholding a formal endorsement until he is persuaded that Trump shares his core principles.
Among those principles, he said, are reviving the economy, increasing military resources, backing Israel, Great Britain, Taiwan and other key allies, and confronting Cuba, North Korea, Iran and other enemies.
1 The number of South Florida Republicans who attended one of Trump's peacemaking sessions on Capitol Hill
"This is a conversation in progress," Diaz-Balart said of his relationship with Trump.
But the other South Floridians were beyond the brash billionaire's reach.
"This morning, Sen. Rubio was at the Intelligence Committee and then had presiding duties on the Senate floor," spokesman Alex Burgos said.
"IRL had appointments at her office and then prepared for the Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Guantánamo at 10 a.m.," Keith Fernandez, a Ros-Lehtinen spokesman, said.
"The congressman has been very public about his opinions," Curbelo spokeswoman Brittany Martinez said. "He did not attend the meeting today."
In a typically boisterous Twitter post, Trump declared the House and Senate gatherings a success.
"Very interesting day!" he tweeted. "These are people who love our country!"
Speaker Paul Ryan praised the House session as "a great meeting" and said his members appreciated the opportunity "to get additional information about Mr. Trump's campaign and ask questions."
Beyond skipping the meetings, the Miami Republicans also reiterated their plans to skip the Republican National Convention in Cleveland later this month.
"Florida has always been a competitive state, and it will be this fall," Olivia Perez-Cubas, a Rubio Senate campaign spokeswoman, said. "Marco had planned to go to the convention before he decided to seek reelection. Since Marco got into the race late, he will be in Florida campaigning and meeting with voters instead of going to Ohio."
Even Diaz-Balart is not going to Cleveland.
"I'm not a delegate," he said. "I've gone when I've been a delegate."
However, most members of Congress attend presidential conventions whether or not they are delegates. Many Republicans have said they will be in Cleveland, but several dozen have indicated plans to join the four Miamians in skipping the enclave.
In some ways, the South Florida lawmakers' coolness toward Trump reflects their constituents' views.
While Trump won Florida's GOP presidential primary handily, Rubio carried Miami-Dade County by a large margin. Miami-Dade, Florida's most populous county, was the only one in the state that Trump lost in the March primary election.
Among 54 Republican senators and 247 GOP representatives, about 80 percent attended Trump's meetings with members of the two chambers.
The South Florida lawmakers missed lively sessions.
Trump complained about Republican lawmakers who have criticized him, according to attendees.
Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona confronted Trump over his earlier jibe about fellow Arizona Sen. John McCain.
Flake introduced himself to Trump as the Arizona senator "who didn't get captured" in Vietnam.
Flake told reporters after the meeting that he still cannot support Trump for president "given the things that he said."
In a statement after the session, Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska said that "this election remains a dumpster fire."
At a conference a year ago, Trump minimized McCain's experience as a former prisoner of war held captive for 5 1/2 years at North Vietnam's "Hanoi Hilton" prison after the Navy plane he was piloting got shot down.
"He's not a war hero," Trump said then. "He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."
Trump and McCain had already been feuding over the billionaire's opposition to immigrants and his plan to "build a very high wall" on the Mexico border.
