Boots for wide calves can have serious style
Here, 10 of the cutest wide calf boots I discovered. Many are available in more than one color, so if you see something you like, click for options. I specifically sought styles that a) list a circumference of more than 15 1/2 inches and b) are great looking. Scroll down for super cute extra wide calf boots too. Because no woman should sacrifice style for fit!

5 tips
> 2. Do as my lovely hair colorist did and get your boots stretched by a reputable cobbler.> 3. Try UK-based DUO for custom-fit boots up to calf circumference 50 cm, or about 19.7 inches. Tons of styles are available (a quick search for women's EU size 40, about a size 9 US, at the largest calf cifcumference yielded 17 different $200-$400 boot styles, including the classy looking Ziller, right, in black & brown). The company now ships free worldwide, too, so well worth considering.
another option:
turn any boots into wide-calf boots
Cast Aluminum Combination Boot Instep and Shaft Stretcher

- Thanks for the tips. My calves are so wide that I think of them (fondly) as cows...I had given up on the idea of ever finding boots...

- I had a wide calf once and also a wild calf. The both got in a fight and one ended up as a pair of boots and the other as a veal patty. Ha! Blessed!
