all calves are not created equal



I first realized the limitations of tall boots when I went shopping with one of my older sisters. I was trying on a pair of boots, which she loved. She asked to see them in her size (10.5). She was thrilled when the saleswoman came back with the boots. Her excitement turned quickly to sadness when she realized she couldn’t pull them over her calf. Let me tell you, she’s not plus size. She’s probably a size 14. There are countless women in the world who are a size 14 or above. Are all those women to go bootless forever? THE HORROR!!! I’m happy to say “No! You can have your boots and wear them too!” I was thrilled when I came across a site that had wide calf boots. Luckily, the boots are actually good looking. They are on trend, and modern.

    • No way! My sisters are confident, beautiful, powerful women. They embrace who they are, and I love that they're not wrapped in insecurity.

      I sold Charles David shoes in the 90s and this was a HUGE complaint. This is the number one footwear gripe I hearfrom people (not big people, either) and it's a huge issue. My sister is a size 8-10 and she really struggles to find boots that fit her calves (college soccer player that she was.) This site is long overdue and total genius! Thanks, Style Observer!
