Hi,


great piece, i like the rockports.

Just adding you can get width fitting companies out there like DUO who are a great company from England. They have plenty of width fittings and make some great boots.

They are also in 70% sale at the minute so if you see anything better snap it up.

Their site is www.duoboots.com

Thanks,

Tara.

Wow, thanks for posting this as an avid step arobics guru since the age of 15 my calves are not nearly the skinny ones on most women today. Dont get me wrong I love them and men comment all the time how incredibly sexy they are but it makes it really hard inthe tall boot department when you have leg option A as my husband calls it. I'm running to eBay right now to search, thanks!

Great article! I've been searching for fat-calf boots for ages! I'll have to check these places out and report back.

Thanks, Miss Chickie!



Savvy Homegirl, do you usually have difficulty finding a good fit? I
have to admit I didn't expect to find such a selection of wider-legged
boots. Perhaps it's a recent development? I did see a few good-looking
narrower-fit tall boots at Ecco, and some sleek styles that fit the
bill at -- surprisingly -- Feet First. I expected them to be FULL of
wider-leg boots, but it was the opposite!



Sounds like you scored at Aldo. Now I wanna go shopping! Waaaah!

I actually had the opposite problem when I was looking for boots this fall. While I completely realize that it is nothing to complain about, I have skinny calves and shins, and I found that most boots were too wide at the top. Considering I am not petite at all, there must be other ladies out there with similar troubles.

I did find two great pairs that fit snugger than most. One pair was at Soft Mocs, and the boot that I chose to purchase was from Aldo. http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-eng/women/boots/career-classics/71779752-vielle The Vielle boot has a back zipper, as opposed to a side-zip, great styling and a medium heel. I noticed that most boots were either flat or had 4.5inch heels. Wanting a comfortable boot, but not wanting to go to a flat style, the 2.5" heel is perfect. The boots are wide enough that I can put them over jeans, but the styling still makes them appear to be form-fitting on my calf when I wear them with tights and skirts. The final bonus - the boots were on sale!

Great article, Janine. Very helpful!
