S/O Boots

reinedecajun · October 2013

I LOVE boots, my only issue is that I have to buy wide calf boots. They are super hard to find and more expensive. I have big ole soccer girl player legs/cankles and normal boots will not go over my calf. So does anyone have this same problem? If you do where do you buy your boots because I have a super hard time finding them!!!!!!

I haven't tried any of those! I dont shop lane bryant because while im not tiny, im in between so a lot of their stuff doesn't fit me. It's just I have a serious pear shape so all my weight is in my legs. I'll have to try zappos but im still worried that the calves wont fit. I've measured them and it's embarrassing how big my calves are.

I ran track in high school so they are big from that and then I let myself go after kids so it's fat on top of muscle. They are huge!

I can sometimes find boots in wide sizes that will fit my calves. My problem is I am short too, so I have to be careful where the wide part of the boot hits as it isn't at the widest part of my calf. I second zappos as i think you can search the boots by calf opening size.

Im def checking them out..im only 5"3 so I feel your pain!

Yup, I posted earlier about this problem. I got a really cute pair from Marshall's last year, but zappos has a pretty good selection too!

This is why I have always been wary of online shopping for shoes. The nice thing about Zappos is that you get free shipping & if you end up not liking the shoes, they pay for you to ship them back. DH got a pair of shoes from them - I'm pretty sure they arrived the next day. The free shipping & return was a big incentive.

I measured mine with pants on because I want them to fit with pants on and it came out to just under 17".

I just measured and mine are 16 and 3/4th! yes I went there to the 3/4'ths!!!!

I feel ya..that's my thing is the selection goes waaay down once you get to our size in calf width. I want some freaking cute boots damnit! They did have more of a selection though.

Ya I think most regular boots are around 15" circumference. No chance of me fitting into those!

From your pics I think your shaped just like me...all bottom no top! well No middle anyway lol!

I've always had the same problem and it drove me crazy because I just wanted to wear cute boots, darn it.

I just got these yesterday and I'm in love:

They are perfect because they only come up mid-shin/calf.
