So You Want a Wide Calf Boot? Shopping Tips and Where to Shop

Yes, it is still over 80 Degrees outside (at least in California) but my mind is already starting to shift into Fall mode. And Fall, for me, amongst many things= Boots.

Over the Knee Boots especially.

In my browsing of the internets for over the knee boots in wide calf options, I happened across a few sites for plus size women who crave high quality and high fashion boots that ACTUALLY FIT our calves and/ or wide feet.

Before you press buy, it is important to know that your sizes and how your favorite brands fit!

Here are a few fit tips for boot shopping:

• Know that the standard for most boots is about a 15” so if you are looking for boots, use this as your guide!
• Measure your calf at its widest point- And measure both calves too! If the difference is more than half an inch, go up an inch!
• If you want to be able to wear your jeans tucked in, take this into account when shopping!
• Measure from your heel to height desired to determine how high you want them to go!
• Quality is key. The worst thing to do is hunt down a pair of boots only for them to fall apart after one season! I suggest that you invest in them, since you will more than likely be rocking them all season long and beyond! I have boots from five years ago! I love them and live for them!
• Petite, plus size, and wide calves? WideWidths.com breaks this down quite nicely!

To ensure you have the best fit, you must note:

• Wide Calf: 16 to 18 ¼” boot
• Extra Wide Calf: 17 ½ to a 20” boot
• Super Wide Calf: 18 to 21” boot
