Best women’s boots for wide calves, tried and tested for a comfortable fit

For a pair of boots that are comfortable, fashionable, winter ready and can fit around your calves with ease, this pair from Yours are the undisputed champs. I have reached for the boots time and time again already this autumn, for rainy trips to the pub and date nights. They slip on easily and although they are very wide in the foot for me, I’ll never say no to a second pair of socks when the weather outside is frightful.

With a cleated sole, I reckon these boots will offer practicality when the icier weather rolls in. Meanwhile, on days when I need an extra layer, the elasticated back panel will help them to stretch around all while never compromising on comfort.

I received many, many, many compliments on these boots, though the most common question I got was “what colour are they?” While the brand says they’re a beige brown, I’d call them more greige, as they changed colour depending on the lighting. But whether you agree with me is another matter – I just liked that this versatile shade gave me more flexibility with styling. I also loved that the faux leather meant that, when the heavens did open, these boots were able to withstand a downpour. Plus, the chunky sole is bang on trend while also adding to comfort levels.

Again, the fit is perfect, and I had no trouble getting these on. And considering they’re the only pair in this round-up that aren’t black or brown, I think they’ll brighten up your winter wardrobe as the nights draw in.

Although they’re available in just sizes four to eight, I don’t think the fit on your calves will be an issue as EEE is the only width choice available.

If it was possible to fall in love at first sight with a pair of boots, these were the ones that stole my heart. With that gorgeous leather smell straight out of the box and a rich chocolate-brown colour, I was really excited to get these on. Plus, thanks to Duo’s fit finder – which taught me how to properly measure my calves for the most accurate fit – they slipped on effortlessly. My calves felt cushioned, comfortable and I had no issues with the zip either.

With a block heel, platform sole and memory foam insole, I was able to spend a whole evening in the boots – walking around and out for dinner – with no complaints about my feet hurting.

Considering the hefty price tag, you’ll want to make sure you get the size spot on. But given the fact that these boots come in nine different shoe sizes and eight calf sizes, there’s no reason why you won’t be able to get the best fit.

Aside from hats, scarves, and winter coats, it seems to me that when the weather temperature plummets, the other must-have item to come out of the cupboard is a pair of over-the-knee boots. I’ll be honest, I’ve scoured every shop trying to find a decent pair of such boots that don’t fall down. And until now, that has been a challenge. But thanks to Yours, my search is over.

For a start, this pair has a three-quarter zip – music to my wide calves’ ears – which made for an easy fit. But to ensure I can dance the night away without worry, these also come with a tie fastening, so they never slip down. I also liked that to, some extent, I could adjust the fit on these to be over the knee or under, depending on how I felt – though I almost always went over just to keep my legs warm on a night on the town.

Great quality and a pair I’ll turn to time and time again for nights out throughout the festive season and beyond.

Having already been impressed by this brand, I had high hopes for the Haltham boots. And they did not disappoint. More of an everyday boot, these would look as good at home and when wearing to the shops as for a bottomless brunch outfit. The suede fabric is soft to the touch and inside the same memory foam insole makes for a comfortable wear. They are a bit rigid around the heel and I did have a tiny bit of rubbing at first, but this has eased with multiple wears.

Again, thanks to the fit finder, I had a seamless fit with these boots and found they felt as comfortable with tights as when wearing jeans. Plus, as an extra bonus, they also come in petite, standard and tall heights, so your leg length is considered too. They’re not cheap but these boots are worth every penny.
