The Deal: Up to 50% off boots (including wide calf) at Avenue.com
The Lowdown: Kathryn gets a ton questions each week in regards to the quest for stylish wide-calf boots , which tend to be harder to find, and frequently costlier, than “regular” calf sized boots. So when we saw this boot sale at Avenue.com, we knew we had to spread the word—the selection is somewhat limited, however there is a respectable collection of tall and ankle boots in wide-calf and wide-width sizes. Our picks? We love patent, so we’re partial to this Jamie Patent Wide Calf Boot, on sale now for $39.99, but we also love something in gray (and with a cute little heel), like this Bettie Wide Calf Boot, $49.99. Oh, and while you’re shopping, go ahead and check out Avenue’s “Top 10” holiday trends section to find items up to $50 off

Dear Budget Fashionista,
I really need your help. Even though I wear a size 12, I have VERY large calves (plus size- about the size of someone who wears a size 16 to 18). I would love to be able to to find a stylish pair of boots to wear this winter. Help!
Answer: This is a common problem facing many women- not just size plus size women. Muscle-bound fashionistas also have a hard time finding boots that fit their calves. Your best bet is shop online stores like BarefootTess, Zappos.com, and Amazon’s new shoe store Endless.com
. Plus size stores like Torrid.com
,LaneBryant.com
and Silhouettes.com, also have a solid collection of wide calf boots. When shopping in your local mall, look for boots with stretchy materials like micro-suede and for slouchy styles that tend to a bit roomer in the calves.
