Top 20 Wide Calf Boots
Boots for wide calves can have serious style
After spending a couple years researching thin-calf boots, I got curious as to whether our equally hard-to-fit sisters needing wide calf boots fare any better in the marketplace. Doing some digging online, I have to answer with a cautious "yes"! I'm especially impressed with the gorgeous wide calf riding boots available, but there are many other cute high boots out there as well, from heels to western, motorcycle styles & more.
Here, ten of the cutest styles 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!

2. Sit down, with feet flat on the floor.
3. Measure both calves at their widest point.
3. If one calf is wider, use that measurement in boot shopping.

4 tips for those needing a calf circumference over 17 inches...
> 1. Check out this page for help finding the perfect extra wide calf boots:
> 2. Try an online specialty shop:WideWidths.com carries all wide-shaft boots, all the time. A veritable one-stop-shop for those needing 16 to 25 inch calf circumferences.
> 3. Do as my lovely hair colorist did and get your boots stretched by a reputable cobbler.> 4. 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
I was skeptical when someone told me about this professional-grade boot stretcher. But the reviews are very convincing. If you're a boot fan who wants to significantly expand your shopping options, this might be worthwhile as a long-term investment.
