Best wide calf boots and wide fit boots that are comfy, cool and chic
From knee-high to ankle, these boots are 🔥
Shopping for wide-fit and wide-calf boots isn't always the easiest. Sometimes, you'll spot an amazing pair of knee-high boots but know, without even having to try them on, that they won't fit over your calves. Other times, you'll get as far as finding the perfect black ankle boots, only to slip them on and realise they're too small width-wise and walking in them would be an issue.
Whatever wide calf boot dilemma you associate with most, we're sure you'd agree that searching for the right pair sits right up there with finding perfectly fitted jeans in terms of traumatic shopping experiences. And don't even get us started on the options on the market that can make you feel like you're verging on retirement...
We've got good news, though. Things seem to be slowly changing for the better. Many brands and shoe stockists like JD Williams, John Lewis and M&S now allow you to filter your search based on foot width or calf size. And some companies, such as DuoBoots and Fillies & Boots, go as far as manufacturing your footwear based on your specific calf measurements.
We've put together the ultimate guide to wide-calf and wide-fit women's boots to make finding your new pair that bit easier. And trust us, these babies actually look good. We're talking cute heeled ankle boot options, stylish flats, cowboy boots and cool chunky lace-ups, to name but a few.
