Tips for getting the best fit while shopping for your wide calf boot:
- MEASURE your calves! Save yourself the headache of a return and measure your calves before ordering your boots. Not all wide calf boots are created equally and will range in width
- Retailers that specialize in plus will generally have the widest of the wide calf boots.
- If the boots you want are 1 to 1.5 inches smaller than your calf, if there is a stretch panel the boots can usually be stretched to fit.
- If wide calf boots are still too small try out boot bands. They are a cool extension for your boot to widen the boot, but also give a seamless look.
Other places that sell wide calf boots:
I spent years dreading boot shopping every winter because nothing would zip up past my ankle. Last season, I finally found a pair similar to option #2 that I practically lived in, from pumpkin patch visits to holiday shopping. I remember frantically trying to check sizing before a sale ended and actually looked up the Clarks phone number to confirm the shaft width. It’s worth the extra step to avoid the return hassle.
