Hi everyone,Just wondering if any can help!!
I'm only 5' 3" and finding it really difficult to buy sallapettes that fit me right ........ they r all too long!!
Does anyone know of anywhere i can get small legged ones in the Uk?

Hi well I am only 5' 5 and dont have any problems rember that once you get you boots on that will make a difference and it dos not matter so much if they gather at the bottom a bit it is not like you will fall over them!
re: Sallapettes
Hi Daniel,No really the normal sized ones r massive!!
They will definately drag on the floor. maybe i lied a little, im only about 5' 2". Even normal short legged trousers are too long for me! Lol

buy something and take to a talented tailor for a cut off the legs!!! talented ones can fix them like original!!! buy a cheap one, easier to risk!!!

Ah bugger!! Sorry I think you will just have to do some groundwork in the shopping department. If all else fails you can hire from snow&rock for about £20 per wk I think they do short legre: Sallapettes
I brought mine from asda and had them shortened for £20 so they cost me in total £50 not bad i thought and you cant tell eitherre: Sallapettes
Have you tried a Child's size? My sister is quite small and gets really cheap shoes by buying in childrens sizes

You could try slioch, they do made to measure gore tex salopettes. www.slioch.co.uk I've got a pair myself and they last for ever.I know its mountaineering gear, but get a matching jacket and you'll be the belle of the ball.

try harder. the wife is just on 5'1" and got salopets really easily. worth buying them out there if you want to save money.re: Sallapettes
Hi NicSince I'm about 6' 5, what ever you cut off your salopettes, send it my way for me to stick on the bottom of mine......
