Wide chelsea boots recommendations

14 replies

RedRobyn2021 · 13/12/2023 15:51

As the title says

I love the chelsea boot style and would like some boots to wear with jeans, I do have fairly wide feet but in particular I have big ankles and calves

Would really appreciate recommendations

I love the Birkenstock ones and the doc marten are really nice but as far as I know they don't do them in wide :-(

Try on some unisex ones. My feet aren't narrow and I wear Solovair dealer boots.

My ankles are quite normal sized but my feet are sort of square

I have bought a pair from Camper and I am delighted!

M&S or Gabor
Next have a good choice of wide fitting footwear too

Hotter or SimplyBe.

If you're not too particular about brands, George at Asda and I think next do wide fit Chelsea boots.

I find fitflop are very good & comfortable.

I bought what I thought was a lovely pair from Gabor. Within an hour both soles had come off!!!

I then bought some from m&s and I can’t fault them. They’re wide and roomy so I wear thick socks.

I have wide feet and I have lots of boots but M&S are comfortable and look good

Blundstone
The half sizes are a wide fit, and you need to size down.

So - I'm normally a wide 8.
Size down to 7 in Blundies. Then go to the 7.5 for wide fit. I've been wearing them (not the same pair) for about 30 years! Very comfortable, last for ages, go with everything (that I wear anyway).

I have really wide feet and have the marks ones, they're very comfy. I can wear them for a full day at work with a good few hours on my feet and the commute.

I have these from FitFlop - and am a huge fan. Never purchased anything from them before, they work on my fat feet and ankles. There are often sales/discounts so do hunt about:

Have you tried the Birkenstock ones on? I have these and they are very comfortable on my wide feet ( usually an E fitting) and sturdy ankles! I wear my normal size and really recommend them.

No I haven't, my feet might get away with it but my ankles and calves are unusually big, so I would be surprised if they did fit

Really? Just to give you an idea, I’m a size 18/20 with chunky, slightly swollen ankles, and they are fine.- in case it helps the circumference of my ankles( and the boots) is 10-11 inches.
You could try DMs Pascals, which are lace up rather than being a Chelsea boot, and soft leather . I see they now have suede ones too! Very tempting!
