Wide Calf Boot Recommendations for Plus Size and Athletic Calves

Wide calf boots can be frustrating to find. Of the select companies that offer wide calf boots, often these boots add only 1" to 1 1/2 " to the standard size. While these might be fine for those looking for a bit of extra room, these sizes are often useless for those who are athletes or plus size.

Below are three excellent companies that offer wide calf boots in larger sizes than can typically be found at the standard retailer. Ranging from completely customizable to outstanding off the rack options, there is something here to fit your budget and calves.

DUO Boots

If you are searching for a pair of classic wide calf boots and are willing to invest in them, look no farther than DUO. DUO boots are completely customizable for your own calf size. The DUO website gives instructions on how to measure your leg and will make a boot to fit your calf. DUO wide calf shoes are made of quality leather and come in various widths as well.

DUO boots are carefully crafted and if you choose a classic style can be used for years. DUO is a company that is based in the UK, so be aware that shipping charges may be more than you are used to.

With styles ranging from 120 pounds to 170 pounds (approximately $240 to $340)

Silhouettes

Silhouettes is a plus size clothing manufacturer that also offers wide calf boots. Silhouettes' boots are made of leather or a leather like material and offer the same classic styles as other, more expensive retailers.

Silhouettes boots are a budget friendly solution for women looking for a wide calf shoe. The only criticism of these shoes is that they offer little support in the sole, so you should plan on buying a pair of insoles to wear with them.

Because Silhouettes shoes are not customized you may want to try on a pair in the store. If there is not a Silhouettes store in the area, you can still order the boots but take advantage of their 90 day 100% guarantee return policy if they do not fit.
