How to Find Wide Calf Boots

I buy my stretch boots from Burlington Coat Factory.  I always buy them at the very beginning of the season (Aug/Sept) or the very end (Mar).  I’ve never paid more than $50 for them.

I’ve just recently seen that Lands End is offering boots in a wide calf size.  There is a cute pair of red sherpa-like snow boots that were recently pictured in In-Style.  They also have more traditional styles.  As a bonus, I believe they are on sale!

You can also have the calves of leather boots stretched.  Sacco Shoes (in NY) stretched the calf of my boots 1.5” for free.

you should check out nine west’s botamy boots on zappos as well. i ordered them and the calf was way too big for me, but the leather was good quality and they were very comfortable to walk in.

the original letter-writer also should note that the size of your calves doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with your dress size.  a person may have large calves from being an athlete or from genetics.

(Sorry for multiple comments.)

Also, http://www.duoboots.com (Europe only, apparently), who have boots with calf width at every centimeter from 30cm-50cm (12-19.5”).

I get all my boots from Evans it a British store.

I wanted to share my happiness about a place I found for wide calf boots after searching for years. I found them at http://www.WideWidths.com since they sell the greatest wide calf boots! I just got my second pair of boots with a wide calf circumference from them and I have NEVER been able to find a pair of boots before in my life! They have fashionable styles – all the stuff that the skinny calf women are wearing! Their customer service department is great too! they answer you within a few hours and they are very nice and helpful. Every boot on their site comes only for wide calves so you don’t waste your time looking through sites to find out that nothing will fit you. I never thought I’d be able to find a pair for my big legs and I also wear a wide width too.. as if one thing wasn’t enough. What a great place to shop – you’ll love their stuff.

I have a 19 inch calf (athletic + genetic= big calves!!) and have a heck of a time. I must have ordered 20 pairs of boots, and been unhappy with most. Sorry, I just don’t think $250.00 boots should feel like cardboard, just because they’re in a larger calf size!
I finally got a pair of Eddie Bauer tall dress boots that fit, and are of a nice quality leather for about $230. I’d buy a lot more boots if I could fit into them, and they didn’t look like crud!! (OK, price matters too…)
Thanks for all the great references above!!

Have been looking for boots for my big calfs for years. Don’t want trendy platform 6” heeled boots.
Want QUALITY, CLASSIC design in brown and black.I am at the point where price is not a major concern, other than i am not willing to fly to England to get them custom made. Any suggestions???

I just ordered the Ayla Mayfair style in 17” calf size.  They fit great and zip up with no problem!  The only issue is that I’m hard on shoes, so the toe is already wearing out.  I think it is the way I walk though.  The leather is soft!!!

Here is another tip that includes a lot of different kind of wide calf boots styles: http://www.widecalfbootscity.com/
