Over the past ten years, I have had zero luck finding tall boots that fit my ultra thick calves. And believe me, I have tried on a LOT of boots!
That is, until I found Eloquii’s boots, which actually fit my legs! (I absolutely loved these boots from Eloquii too, but, unfortunately, since I am a 5’2″ shorty, they were far too long for my short legs.) I love the taller boot trend, and have found some gorgeous ones for all you beautifully thick-calved women!
One of the biggest tips I have learned, while attempting to find wide calf-boots, is to meticulously read the measurements and compare them with my own. As both a woman with wide calves and a short babe, I also find it to be hella important to measure the shaft length.
Lastly, if you find what I like to call a Unicorn Tall Boot — one that works perfectly for you — then order two pairs because they will likely sell out quickly and finding them again after another season may be nearly impossible.
The Best Tall Boots For Wide Calves To Buy Right Now
Wide-calf, and, in particular, ultra wide-calf boots are such a challenge to find, but I have to say I am pretty impressed with this season’s limited, yet really really good options.
Okay, onto the roundup!
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9
1 / Dream Cloud Tall Lug Sole Boot by Lane Bryant
The number one pair of boots that are on my wishlist right now?! Lug sole boots! I just ordered these gorgeous tall lug sole boots from Lane Bryant, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that they fit. I am in love with all the trending lug sole boots right now and am hopeful that these work for me!
2 / Quinn Extra Wide Calf Riding Boot by Easy Street Shoes
I am so excited to see that there are a few more options of colors for boots this season, and right now I am in love with all things forest and moss green! These boots look like an ultra-wide fit, and according to the fit details they have a 16″ shaft.
3 / Glimmer Embossed Snake Boot by Eloquii
OMG Western boots are everywhere right now, and these Glimmer Embossed Snake boots give me elevated Western boots vibes. I will say, if you are a shorty like me, these might be a tad too long for you!
4 / Propet Rumor Women’s Leather Boots
These boots have a shorter shaft which I think is perfect for us shorty gals. I also love the detailing and the two-inch heel on the boot, as well! These would be a great staple for years to come.
5 / Dream Cloud Heeled Boot by Lane Bryant
Gahhhh these are so sexy! I am in love with the gorgeous camel color, and literally everything about these boots. Oh, and they have the dream cloud footbed too!
6 / Kourtly Boot by Vince Camuto
Sometimes finding short shaft Chelsea boots that are comfortable enough for wider calves can also be a challenge. These Vince Camuto Chelsea boots have a slightly wider shaft, and they also come in this stunning cream color too!
7 / Klaire Scrunch Boot by Eloquii
These are the boots I have and absolutely love! They have a slightly higher heel than all the other boots featured, but I absolutely love everything about how they fit. They are comfortable for all day wear, and look so damn good with just about anything. Eloquii has seriously outdone themselves this year with all the stellar wide-calf boot options!
8 / Christine Wide-Calf Riding Boot by Franco Sarto
If you are looking for a classic riding boot, then Franco Sarto has you covered. I love the pebbled leather look and think these are so timeless.
9 / The Reina Boot by Adelante
If you are in the market for a custom fit boot, then you definitely have to check out Adelante! These riding boots are gorgeous! I am so tempted to get a custom pair of boots for myself.
I have to say I want Every. Single. Pair of boots I found! They all are gorgeous and so fun for the cooler months. I’d love to know which pair of wide calf boots are your favorite!
Ta ta for now!
