Wider Calf Boots: A Leg Up For Curvier Gams | ||
 Year after year, stylish knee-high boots seem to be only for the slender of leg; choices for curvier gams appear limited to uninspired shiny stretch vinyl or short, below-the-calf heights. If you're a girl in need of tall boots with a roomier fit, though, don't despair. In a determined search for the holy-boot grail this Fall, I've managed to track down a variety of brand names and a few retailers with the right stuff.   Town Shoes and Ron White yielded the most selection. At Town Shoes, brands such as La Canadienne, Blondo, Steve Madden, Franco Saarto and Town Shoes' private label all include styles with a roomier leg and a range of heel heights. Ron White also carries La Canadienne, as well as generous fits from Cole Haan, Donald J Pliner, Mephisto, Stuart Weitzman and the Ron White signature brand. Well-known Toronto boutique Trove carries a Canadian line called Bos & Co. with which athletic-calf types tend to have more luck. And because Bos & Co. is Canadian, many of their winter boots are appropriate for our deep freeze.  You may also find success with Ecco and Rockport, two brands now producing more fashionable footwear than you might expect. Most of Ecco's taller boots feature a hidden gusset for a little extra stretch in the leg. Although the brand is carried at various retailers, you'd find better success at an Ecco boutique, which would have a more comprehensive selection and a well-versed staff at the ready. At Rockport, a friend with curvy calves (who says she can never find tall boots that fit) triumphed unexpectedly with a pair of Sargas boots, which have a zipper as well as an adjustable lace-up front. A pair of streamlined Ainly boots also fit her, and the brand includes an array of styles with wide stretch gussets up the back.  Keep in mind that although a pair of tall boots fits your just-as-curvy-in-the-calf friend, they may not be as comfortable for you. Just like us, calves come in all shapes and sizes, and some of us can handle a snug fit more than others. Scoring your perfect pair is still going to take some... legwork. But now you have a leg up on the hunt -- so happy shopping! by Janine Falcon | ||
