I am looking for flat heel boots that will take my wide calves. I had a great pair from Asda George thanks to mn recommendation that lasted me about five years. I need them for work. Leather please. Good in the rain, please. Comfy, please. A bit stylish, please. No buckles or dangly bits, please. I'm size 6 and my feet are average width. Unlike my calves which are very wide. Did I mention that?Grin

I think there's a website called Duo which does boots in different calf widths

I'm very similar and have had Clarks boots in the past that fit but they don't have any I like so far this year.

Duo are now Ted & Muffy Hmm and seem to have gone up in price and down in qualitySad they do give 15% off your first order and you can find some on eBay

What about riding boots? The Spanish Riding Boot company?
Maybe a bit too welly boot for your needs but you can get different calf widths in boots like Dubarry (and their cheaper alternatives)

Ted and Muffy have a Heritage range this year that's similar in price to what DUO prices were, especially with a 15% off code. Maybe try those?

If not then anything mid-calf might work if they stop before the wide bit of your calf goes wide, if that makes sense!

is there anything on Simply Be (haven't looked)?
I bought some the other day (not leather hence why I'm not recommending anything specific) I have a wide calf (16.5 inches) and don't fit into high street boots but by their measurements I'm a 'standard' calf (I thought I'd be curvy but I'm not - they also do extra curvy and so on)
I have a normal width foot but I went for their 'E' fitting which is a bit big to be honest but they are very comfortable and I'm happy that I'll be able to wear thick socks for watching kids football matches!

I'll take a look at SimplyBe. My calves aren't very wide, around 15inches. I fit the calf of a size 6/7 boot no problem (I've tried!) but it seems most manufactures make narrower calves for smaller shoe sizes (I'm a size 4, but have very narrow feet).
