A question about wide calves?

3 replies

This is quite random but I can’t be the only one

I have wider calves than normal, and in proportion to my body. Not extremely noticeable but they are just more full

I bought some flat black leather boots recently which were quite pricey for me, and because of my calves being big they get a bit squished so the leather deforms.

I’ve been offered a refund thankfully but am wondering……

a) has anyone else experienced this / have any recommendations for fashionable but wider fit (foot and calves)?
b) would a boot stretcher work If I rebuy similar? I’ve seen contraptions on Amazon so I am wondering if this could help?

any other suggestions please leave in comments!

I use these: www.bootband.com

They are a boot extender that zip in to the boots existing zip.

My calves are really big- muscular rather than fat but awful! Try duoboots.com

Duo boots are amazing - perfect fit on wider calves.
