So far, I've given up and will settle for low boots (though I still haven't brought myself to buy a pair yet). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wideextended-calf-boots#post-358535 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:43:36 +0000 kayakgirl73 358535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need boots for wide calves as well, even when I'm at my thinner weights and the problem is compounded by the fact I have very short legs which seems to make boots hit in the wrong place.</p> <p>I did get a great pair at Naturalizer last year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wideextended-calf-boots#post-358518 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:39:47 +0000 Meridian 358518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome, will have to check out all the resources! I have the wide calf problem, AND I have small feet (size 6, and apparently shoe makers don't think people with small feet have big calfs)... plus, I'm only 5' tall, so many boots are too tall. BLAH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wideextended-calf-boots#post-358517 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:39:20 +0000 wahine08 358517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy cowhide, I LOVE those boots @Dookie23 !

Except I had them like, 3 years ago, so maybe not. Either way, they were awesome. I got them reheeled like, 4 or 5 times and then one day they finally died forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wideextended-calf-boots#post-358304 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:29:55 +0000 photojane 358304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm super cheap, so i bought mine at payless, but i love them. they're not actually labeled for wide calves, but they're the only boots i've ever gotten that fit my monster calves. i love them because i can wear them up on my upper calf, or slouch them down. they're called the rory slouchy boots, and they were only $39.99. also, it looks like if you order them online, they're on sale and are available in extended calf! </p> <p><img src="http://www.payless.com/images/490x490/099185_4_490x490.jpg" /> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wideextended-calf-boots#post-358270 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:21:17 +0000 wahine08 358270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have this problem and usually will buy up ANY boots that will fit me! I've had some luck with SOME Target boots (not all, by any means) I also just picked up a pair of Kenneth Cole Reaction boots from TJMaxx that are the perfect cognac riding boot. Super soft leather. The style is "Tried and Tide" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wideextended-calf-boots#post-358265 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:20:02 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 358265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MeredithNYC - I own a pair so I can vouch for them.

I don't consider myself to have big calves, but most boots are STILL scary tight on me. Like, cutting off circulation tight. I don't know who they make these boots for... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wideextended-calf-boots#post-358246 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:16:42 +0000 hellobeeboston 358246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the same problem!

Of course since it's Aldo they probably don't have them anymore (got them last year, and from the outlet) but be on the lookout for those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wideextended-calf-boots#post-358241 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:14:48 +0000 meredithNYC 358241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Those are cute!

It's perfect for bigger calves and really cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wideextended-calf-boots#post-358056 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:21:12 +0000 Alivoo01 358056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I too have bigger calves (thanks to gymnastics and dance), and I've been told Steve Madden has a couple pairs of boot that are good and wide. A blogger (This Casita) reviewed this boot as being one of those: <a href="http://www.stevemadden.com/Item.aspx?id=42992&#038;np=595" rel="nofollow">http://www.stevemadden.com/Item.aspx?id=42992&#038;np=595</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wideextended-calf-boots#post-357913 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:37:30 +0000 MediaNaranja 357913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure, but want to hear what people say! I got a pair (my only pair) of decent boots last year at DSW. I think they were the wide calf ones.</p> <p>Years of skiing and snowboarding have given me monster muscle calves, so boots are hard for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wideextended-calf-boots#post-357898 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:31:25 +0000 dagret 357898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zappos? You can sort their boots by wide calf..and they usually have pretty thorough reviews. Free shipping/free returns (you have up to a year to return!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wideextended-calf-boots#post-357895 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:30:49 +0000 meredithNYC 357895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mandb36: That's funny - I was just considering a pair of Bandolino's. Macy's is having a decent boot sale, so they would have been really well priced. I hate ordering boots online since it's so risky, but it's just so much easier than getting myself out to the store with LO.</p> <p>@zippylef: I haven't, but one of my friends has had luck that way. We always laugh at the terrible names, though. I think there's an online retailer called "Woman Within"? LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wideextended-calf-boots#post-357887 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:28:16 +0000 loveisstrange 357887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried ordering from "plus size" retailers? My calves are bigger too (years of soccer) and I have good luck with that. A lot of stores/sites for plus sizes carry bigger sizes and widths in shoes too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wideextended-calf-boots#post-357866 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:23:59 +0000 BelugaBean 357866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the same problem. My favorite brand so far has been Bandolino. They're slightly big on my calf near the top but they're comfortable and cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wideextended-calf-boots#post-357856 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:22:45 +0000 meredithNYC 357856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am an average sized person, but for some reason my calves are too big for most standard sized boots. It sucks! </p> <p>Anyone else have this issue? If so, where have you had luck finding wide/extended calf boots? I just ordered the "Bookers" from J. Crew (it's on sale- yay!) and I am hoping and praying that the extended calf is big enough. </p>
