FAQs
What are wide calf boots?
Essentially, these boots are specially designed shoes for those with wider calves. According to a survey by shoe manufacturer Sargasso & Grey, a staggering 53 per cent of women needed a wider fitting shoe. That means that over half of the women who took part in the survey in the UK found that standard boots don't fit or are uncomfortable to wear.
While wide fit footwear gives more space around the width of the foot, this doesn't necessarily apply around the calves. Unlike wide fit shoes, not everywhere stocks wide calf boots.
Where is best to buy wide calf boots?
Discovering a good quality pair of knee high boots when you've got wide calves can be as tricky as trying to find flatting petite and plus size clothing for over 50s. However, there are a number of brands that have their own section of wide and extra wide calf boots online and some that are worth mentioning are:
• DuoBoots
• Jones Bootmaker
• Pavers
• Simply Be
• JD Williams
• Yours Clothing
