Speaking of boots..

Since @mana8503‌ posted about leggings and having boots to go with them, I am wondering where y'all get your boots to wear with leggings and skinny jeans. I unfortunately have wide calves and have such a hard time finding anything. Maybe I'm just picky.

Re: Speaking of boots..

  • My mom has the same issue with finding boots.  She's had pretty good luck at DSW.  I have the opposite problem; I have chicken legs so I have to make sure they aren't too wide. :(

    I have crazy wide/muscular calves, and DSW is the only place I know with good extra wide boots.  Let me know if you find some good ones!  I've given up and usually wear ballet flats with skinny jeans or leggings  ~X(

  • I have muscular calves and found mine at bass outlets. I love them. Thinking about getting a black pair this year.

  • If you're okay with shopping online, justfab.com has a good selection of boots with the wide calf option. My favorite pair came from there.

  • I have small calves so I can't help, but I do have some advice for modifying boots to fit.  if you find a pair you like, make sure they have a strap with a buckle.  And that there is some extra room on the buckle to punch a new hole.  I found a leather punch at Michael's that made numerous belts and boots fit better.

  • I have muscular calves also. I usually get them from Lord and Taylor or just wear ballet flats.
  • I've had good luck at DSW. You could try Lane Bryant, or any plus size clothing store.

  • Avenue.com seems to have some cute boots and they usually come in wide or extra wide. I'm not sure if you have a store near you to try them on, but I've ordered clothes from them before basing my size choice on the size chart and they fit well.

  • I have to have wide calf as well. Last year I found a pair of Ralph Lauren riding boots at DSW. They had plenty of options. They were on the expensive side, but I wear them all of the time in the fall through spring. I'm hoping they'll have a similar brown pair this year.
