Thanks for these tips! I have been looking for another pair of wide leg boots for 3 years and couldn’t find a pair in the store. I purchased the Shyloh Brown Pleather Wide Leg Boots from Zappos that you recommended. I ordered them yesterday morning, didn’t have to pay shipping or tax, and they arrived this evening. I definitely think this was a good deal.

I just ordered the Ayla Mayfair style in 17” calf size. They fit great and zip up with no problem! The only issue is that I’m hard on shoes, so the toe is already wearing out. I think it is the way I walk though. The leather is soft!!!

In addition to all of the suggestions above (Zappos, Duo, etc.), J. Crew has several very nice boot styles that they offer in regular and “extended calf” sizes.

Have been looking for boots for my big calfs for years. Don’t want trendy platform 6” heeled boots.
Want QUALITY, CLASSIC design in brown and black.I am at the point where price is not a major concern, other than i am not willing to fly to England to get them custom made. Any suggestions???

You should also check out Ayla Boots (www.aylaboots.com) - they make tall leather boots made-to-order that are stylish, affordable (less than $200), and fit “athletic” calves!

The company is based in the UK but ships from Texas.

I have a 19 inch calf (athletic + genetic= big calves!!) and have a heck of a time. I must have ordered 20 pairs of boots, and been unhappy with most. Sorry, I just don’t think $250.00 boots should feel like cardboard, just because they’re in a larger calf size!
I finally got a pair of Eddie Bauer tall dress boots that fit, and are of a nice quality leather for about $230. I’d buy a lot more boots if I could fit into them, and they didn’t look like crud!! (OK, price matters too…)
Thanks for all the great references above!!

Awesome blog topic! As I was gearing up for the winter season, I thought I had to confine myself to ankle boots (I’m a 14” calf, so mid-calf), but now I know better! Budget Fashionista, I can’t thank you enough.

I wanted to share my happiness about a place I found for wide calf boots after searching for years. I found them at http://www.WideWidths.com since they sell the greatest wide calf boots! I just got my second pair of boots with a wide calf circumference from them and I have NEVER been able to find a pair of boots before in my life! They have fashionable styles – all the stuff that the skinny calf women are wearing! Their customer service department is great too! they answer you within a few hours and they are very nice and helpful. Every boot on their site comes only for wide calves so you don’t waste your time looking through sites to find out that nothing will fit you. I never thought I’d be able to find a pair for my big legs and I also wear a wide width too.. as if one thing wasn’t enough. What a great place to shop – you’ll love their stuff.

Please please please check out a website called Duo of Bath. The site is from the UK and makes, yes makes, the boots to order in shoe size and calf width-from skinny to elephant like Like me!). Not cheap but I have many pairs and the oldest being over 4 years old. Never had a problem with them, great quality and oh my god they fit!!!

(Sorry for multiple comments.)

Also, https://www.duoboots.com (Europe only, apparently), who have boots with calf width at every centimeter from 30cm-50cm (12-19.5”).
