Question:
boots

I have lost 128 lbs ... weight 202 ... almost in ONEDERLAND!!! I have bought some cute outfits to go with my slimmer body. It has been fun shopping and finding clothes that fit me and liking the way the fit. My one problem I have is, I guess, I have huge calves. I have tried to buy boots to go with 2 skirts/dresses I have bought, but if the boots are too high and come over the calf they will not zip up. This has been a bummer. I am always surprised when trying on clothes ... always saying ... wow this fits me! :D Not with boots. Does anyone have any advise on slimming down calves or a place to purchase boots with a wider calf?    — Tammy Cardwell (posted on October 27, 2008)

Hi there this always works for me. When you look for boots always look for those with a little elastic at the top(MOST SHOE STORES CARRY THEM). When you try the boots on try pushing them down until you can get them zipped then pull then upward over you calves.They will give a little. You also may want to consider boots with soft leather. I hope this helps

Most 'high end' stores like Macy's or Robinson's May carry "wide leg" boots. You might have a pay a bit more but you DO get what you pay for. So... good luck. I had the same problem until I decided to spend $150 on boots - the first boots that I found to fit me since I can only remember - probably high school (next year is my 20 year reunion). Good luck.

Try shoetrader.com and masseys.com. Masseys has a really nice black leather boot by Ros Hammerson and it is called Walker. Type in Walker at the search site and it will bring it up. Good luck!

I have always had this problem, even when I was not obese as a teen! My legs were always much thicker than everyone else! I don't bother, anymore looking for long boots...I go for mid ankle boots...BUT...I found a cute stretch fabric boot at Target last year (looked like suede)...I was thrilled to get my calves all zipped up! LOL I don't wear them because I find myself in jean most of the time anyway! So I use my mid ankle boots anyway! Go figure! But I am going to try everyone elses suggestions and find myself a nice leather pair one of these days. I'm a Tom boy when it comes to my lifestyle but I am a closet Barbie Doll Fashion wanna-be! LOL

I've got the same problem - always have, even in my thinner days. I ordered some from Woman Within before that are for larger calves, and they still didn't fit! Let me know if you find some that do, cause I'd be willing to try them!!!!!

congrats on your weight loss, keep up the good work. Try Cato or Shoe Show. I have small ankles and large calves (unfortunate heredity) and I found some great ones at Shoe Show. Hope it helps.

Hi. I was the same way about boots. I have lost the same amount of weight. I could never wear boots. But, I ordered low heeled boots from Eddie Bauer. They come in wide. I just received them Monday, wore them yesterday and I cried when I tried them on. I used a online discount code, so they were $127.00 + tax and shipping. it was priceless when I zipped them up. Just go to Eddiebauer.com.Good Luck
