One of the questions that I get asked the most this time of the year is where to find wide calf boots! Boots are necessities for Fall and if you have wide calves like I do, you know that they aren’t always the easiest to find. Also, not all wide calf boots are created equal. I’ve purchased many wide calf boots online that still did not fit. I realized that I needed to pay attention to one piece of information – the calf circumference. Wide calf boots vary in how wide they actually are. So here are the steps you need to take:
- Get a tape measure and wrap it around the widest part of your calf. Take a note of that measurement. (Mine is 17.5 inches for reference)
- When browsing online, look at the product details or specifications and the calf circumference will be listed. Use this as a guide to finding the perfect to match your calf width.
**If your calf measurement is 1 or 2 inches larger than the calf circumference listed, there is still a good chance it will fit. Many boots have stretch factor that allows it to expand past the circumference listed

I sized down to a 16 since it’s an oversized fit
Why do you give the FTF boots honorable mention?
They are the same style as the brown thigh high boots but in the snakeskin print. I would have gotten that pair as well had I not gotten the brown ones
Where are the over the knee boots from and suede boots please and thank you????

I’m sorry but Tasha’s right, when you click on it it goes back to this page and not the link to purchase it.
Which link are you referring to? Because they seem to be working fine on my end.
