Boots for Wider Calves

If I've heard it once, I've heard it a million times..."where can I find boots made for women with wide calves?" With boot season officially in full-swing, women everywhere are prowling online shoe sites and shoe stores for the perfect pair of boots. Many women, however, will find the boot of their dreams only to realize that they they can't fit in them because of their wider calves (been there, done that). My solution: stretch boots. Whether you want them in suede, leather or man-made materials, stretch boots may be the best thing that ever happened to boots. Plus, they're so much more comfortable thanks to their pliable nature. Here are some fantastic boots that are either stretch, or made specifically to accomodate for wider calves: Naturalizer Vander Plus (black leather): A sleek, tailored boot that features the Plus Shaft, a wider 11" shaft with a 16" circumference to accommodate fuller calves with greater ease anc comfort. Leather uppers and a lightly padded footbed. Finally, fashion conforms to you! 2" heel. J. Renee Nadine (available in black & brown): Sexy eelskin knee high boot with a pointed toe and a cushioned insole. Its smooth, sleek look makes it great for the office or a night out on the town! 14" shaft circumference, 14.5" shaft height, 2 3/4" heel height. Bronx Isa 11932 (cipria leather): A funky boot with scrunch detailing, as well as a size zipper with elastic gore for a more comfortable fit. Heel height is 2.5", Shaft height is 8". Aerosoles Nice Less (available in black & brown pu): A versatile boot that is great for casual or dress wear A stylish stretch boot with a flexible, rubber sole and an extra-cushioned insole for added comfort. Shaft heights increase by about 1/8" starting with 6 6/8" for a size 5 and increasing to 7 .5" for a size 8.5 and then increasing to 8 1/8" for a size 12. Aerosoles High Stride (available in brown & black): Think tall for fall. This fabulous fashion boot in faux leather stretches to fit the contours of your calf.
