I recently received a reader email requesting some help in finding wide calf flat boots. She said she was having trouble finding them in stores. She didn't mention where she was from, but I looked in both the Huntington Mall and the Charleston Town Center to see what I could find. There wasn't much. At both malls, Macy's, Sears, JC Penney, and The Shoe Dept. all had wide calf selections. The Shoe Dept. had the largest selection that I saw.
The most important rule of shopping for wide calf boots is to know your calf measurements. You can do this easily with a tape measure, just measure the widest part of your calf. The measurement you want to take note of is the circumference. Each brand is going to be different so if you do go online to buy boots, you'll be saving time and money by knowing your size.
Wide calf boots still too tight? Ros Hommerson and Fitzwell both make boots with extra wide calf measurements. 6pm.com carries a decent selection of Fitzwell boots in the extra wide calf at really good prices.
