Tall Boots You Can Wear If You Have Wide Calves

Whether they're Chelseas or Doc Martens, boots during autumn and winter are a necessity. Not only do they go with practically any outfit, but they elevate them as well; adding more to the look than a pair of sneakers or sandals ever could.

Knee-high boots have been a classic piece for years. The chic style remains a staple in many closets thanks to their versatility and timelessness. The winter wardrobe essential can be adapted to many styles, from Ariana Grande's oversized sweater and thigh highs combo, to Bella Hadid channeling cowgirl chic in cowboy boots and a denim midi skirt.

While tall boots belong in everyone's wardrobe, people with wide calves often have trouble finding boots that will fit their legs properly. Unlike ankle boots that don't always have to take wider legs into account, tall boots that don't stretch or are very skinny don't have the same universal sizing as their shorter counterparts. Thankfully, there are brands that cater to people who need boots with a wider fit through the leg.

These Kelly & Katie Freyna Boots at DSW are a steal at $70. Made with faux leather, the boots have a sharp square toe and thin block heel. They only come in black, but are versatile enough to go with any outfit. The boots have a 4.4 rating, with reviewers saying that they're true to size and comfortable.

The Journee Collection Valorie Foam Over-the-Knee Boots are perfect if you want to add a bit more drama to an outfit. The thigh-high boots come in four colors; beige, gray, black, and black with a crocodile design. At $95, the boots come in a standard, wide calf, and extra wide calf option. They have an almond-shaped toe with a block heel and lace up detailing on the back.

Also by Journee Collection, these Sarie boots retail for only $80. Made from vegan leather, the boots come in tan, black, sand, and cognac. The slouchy under-the-knee boots have a sharp, pointed toe and a four-inch stiletto heel, along with a special footbed for comfort.

Vince Camuto carries over a dozen wide calf boot options on their website. The brand is also carried in DSW and department stores such as Nordstrom and Belk. It offers boots in a variety of styles and colors, all under $300. One of Vince Camuto's best-selling wide calf boots is the Alfella Wide-Calf Boot. The all-black boots are in an equestrian style with a 1.5 inch sole and round toe. The boots have a 4.5 rating, with reviewers saying they're well-made and comfortable.

Italian shoe brand Franco Sarto carries several tall boot options for wider-calved women. The shoes are made with high-quality materials and are designed by hand. One of the brand's top-rated boots is the Franco Katherine Wide Calf Tall Boot. Ranging from $159 to $170, the boots come in two different colors, an all-black boot and a cabernet red with a silver, metallic heel. The block heels are 3.5 inches and the boots have a zipper, so they slip on easily.

The Steve Madden Fanatik Boots are another perfect option for people with wider calves. The knee-high boots, which are about $200, come in three colors; black, burgundy, and tan. The boots have a stacked platform with a 3.5 inch thick, block heel. The leather boots are square-toed and come with a side zipper.
