Wide-leg boots are available for plus-size women and those with muscular legs. They look identical to standard boots but have more room in the calf, ankle, knee, and thigh areas. The best selection is online, but buyers should measure their calves before purchasing.
Many plus size women, as well as those with muscular figures, have a hard time finding boots that fit their legs comfortably. To address this issue, some shoe manufacturers offer wide-leg boots or boots with a larger calf circumference than those typically found in stores. In general, the best selection of wide boots can be found online. To ensure that a pair of wide boots will fit, buyers should measure their calves prior to purchase.
Wide leg boots are essentially identical in appearance to standard width products. The only difference between the two is that wide boots are roomier around the calf, ankle, and where applicable, the knee and thigh areas than their non-wide counterparts. This extra room makes them suitable for buyers who find standard boots too narrow, a group that may include plus-size women and those with heavily muscled legs.
While boots in custom sizes have been around for a long time, many stylish women have complained that they were only available in old-fashioned designs. In the late 20th century, however, shoe manufacturers began to take notice of the demand for wide-leg boots that were just as stylish as those found on trendiest store shelves. Popular manufacturers began producing their boots in both standard and wide-leg versions, and several manufacturers sprang up solely dedicated to making stylish wide-leg products.
In general, the best selection of wide boots can be found online. Many department stores and other retailers may not stock wide versions of their boots in store, but these wide versions are available on store websites. Also, with a quick search on the internet, it is possible to find a range of online retailers that exclusively cater to buyers of wide width footwear and boots.
Perhaps the main disadvantage of buying boots online is that they cannot be tried on before purchase. To increase the chance that a pair of wide boots will fit correctly, buyers should therefore measure the circumference of their calves before purchasing. To take this measurement, simply wrap a tape measure around the widest point of your calf. Make a note of the measurement and keep it handy while you do your starter shopping. Most online shoe retailers include a product’s calf circumference among the other product details, and shoppers can simply check to make sure their measurement does not exceed the calf area of the boot.
