While I’ve lost dress sizes over my weight loss journey, one thing that has never changed much is my calf size. I wear clothes that are 5 sizes smaller but I still need wide width (or size up) and wide calf boots.
I only started wearing boots last year with a cute pair of cowboy boots, but I’ve fallen in love with the style. I have multiple pairs of cowboy boots now and the process of finding wide-calf boots in that style took a bit of extra effort.
Since it’s fall, it is now my mission to find some wide calf boots in a style I love. I’ve been browsing online and come up with a list of my favorites that I will be sharing below. I also plan to go by Target, Torrid, Lane Bryant, and some shoe stores in the mall, because I’m indecisive about shoes.
Here are the ones I’m currently loving:

I LOVE THESE. The look, the real leather, the classic harness style. They are however, out of my price range. Maybe I’ll ask Santa.
