Reviewing 20 Wide and Extra Wide Calf Boots

I am a huge fan of the knee high boot trend but have struggled to find boots wide enough for my calves. Add in the fact that I also have a wider foot, it’s been a struggle to find wide calf wide foot boots. I’ve been ordering a variety of boot styles (extra wide calf boots, wide calf western boots, wide calf white boots, brown, black, heeled, flat, etc!) and brands to find what works for me. I figured why not share my findings (good and bad) to hopefully help your search! 

My goal is that these wide calf fit reviews can help cut down on your order, return, order, exchange time a bit. Some of these brands just offered wide calf, while others had extra wide calf boots. I made sure to notate that in the reviews! I also wear a size 10 shoe (wide when it’s available) for reference.

As I get the chance to try more wide calf wide foot boots, extra wide, western, etc, boots this fall, I will be sure to update the blog post accordingly!

I want to jump down to the knee high boot styling ideas!

Reviewing Wide and Extra Wide Calf Boots for Fall

Before I dive in with each boot and the review, I wanted to share my calf measurements. At the fullest, one of my calves is around 18.5 inches and the other is just under 19″. My ankles are around 10 inches.

Dolce Vita Auggie Boots

I love how chic this boot looks as the main event, and even when styled under a wide leg pant. This Dolce Vita boot is available in narrow, regular, wide calf and extra wide calf. The size range is 5-13, which makes it the most inclusive wide calf knee high boot option I’ve found to date! I take it .5 bigger than usual to give me a bit of width in the foot. You can grab this chocolate brown color like I have on, as well as black leather and various shades of suede. Shop this pointed toe wide calf boot at Dolce Vita.

Vince Camuto Sangeti Wide Calf and Extra Wide Calf Boot

These are a high quality boot that will keep your feet comfortable all day long! This particular boot is actually a sample, as I was able to help the Vince Camuto team create extra wide calf options in a few boot styles. The last I was told is that this style was going to be slightly larger in the shaft than the sample, but I haven’t gotten my hands on the final boot. Once I do, I’ll be sure to report back on the room in the calf. All I know is this square toe and 3″ block heel combo is delicious!

These boots come in sizes 5-12 in wide calf and extra wide calf. They come in black, black patent, white, golden walnut and mahogany. You can shop this boot on Vince Camuto’s website in Wide Calf and Extra Wide Calf. These high quality boots are also available at Dillard’s, Nordstrom and Zappos.

Journee Collection Karima Wide Calf Boot

I ordered these in a wide calf not realizing there was also an extra wide calf option. While they zip up, they are TIGHT. I thought I was going to snag my skin as I zipped them up. It looks like there’s a tiny bit of length that I’m losing due to the snugness, but I can’t tell for 100%. They are also really tight on my foot, not something I would personally be okay wearing. Lesson learned, I need the extra wide calf boots for my calves! As far as the look of the boot goes, I really like the contrast of the dark heel and sole with the off white boot.

These wide calf knee high boots come in black, cognac, off white and red. It comes in sizes 6-12. They are square toed and have a 3 inch block heel. These boots zip the entire length of the boot. Like most Journee boots, they come in wide and extra wide calf options. I am wearing the wide calf boots here. You can shop these wide calf boots at DSW.

Journee Collection Daria Extra Wide Calf Boot

This boot is a little snug on my foot, but nothing too crazy. I love the fit throughout my calf and that it goes all the way up to the bottom of my knee. There is a little bunching around the ankle, but this is the most minimal it’s been on any boots I’ve tried so far. They were out of my size in white when I originally ordered, so I’d be curious to see if the bunching is noticeable on the lighter color or not. All this said, I feel like this is a boot that is worth the money for me.

This boot style comes in red, dark brown, off white, red and tan. They are available in sizes 6-12. The Daria boot has a 3.35 inch heel and a pointed toe. They zip up the full boot length. Available in both wide and extra wide calf options. You can shop these extra wide calf boots at DSW.

Journee Collection Therese Extra Wide Calf Boot

The Journee Therese boot is a little snug on my foot, but it fits and I can walk around without pain. It fits easily over my calves and goes up just under my knee. My only concern with this boot is that the material is a little flimsy and bunches up around my ankles. The boots come in sizes 6-12, and you can find colors including white, black, fuchsia, light brown and green.

The heel is 3.25 inches and the toe is pointed. I love the unique v detailing on the front of this boot. This zipper goes from foot to just above the ankle. You can get this boot style in both wide and extra wide calf. You can shop these extra wide calf white boots at DSW and JCPenney.

Journee Signature Laila Leather Boot

The quality of these white wide calf boots feels fantastic. Unfortunately the calf runs small and they don’t zip up on my left calf. These boots are available in brown, off white, black and crock. They come in sizes 6-12. The block heel is 3 inches and it’s an almond pointed toe. You can shop at Famous Footwear.

Journee Signature Pryse Leather Western Boot

Another high quality extra wide calf knee high boot option! I didn’t love the white on me, as they are pretty snug. I think the black color would work better with the wrinkling. These almond toe white wide calf boots are available in sizes 6-12, wide and extra wide. They come in bone, black and nude. The block heel is 2.5 inches and is a pull on style boot. These boots zip the entire length of the boot. You can shop at DSW.

Frank Sarto Katherine Wide Calf Tall Boot

This white knee high boot is wide calf, but it’s a bit snug on my calves! I’m going to wear them awhile to see if the stretch out and I will report back! The almond toe paired with 3.5″ heel is a great combo. The boots come in four different colors: white, black, black fabric and dark brown. The material is a stretch suede or faux stretch leather partially made from recycled materials You can shop it at DSW.

Knee High Boot Styling Ideas

Now that you have the boots, let’s talk about some fun outfit ideas to try this fall! After all, cost per wear is super important when you’re making a bigger purchase.

The black mini skirt is old, but there are lots of cute ones you can find online or in your closet! The sweater vest is true to size, wearing XL, and you can shop it at Amazon. You can find similar snakeskin tops on my LTK.

These exact items are old, but hopefully you have similar items in your closet!

Shop the satin skirt at Amazon. I sized up to an XXL and it comes in black, too. Shop similar black tanks from Skims (sized up to 2x).

Some of the wide calf knee high boots in this post have been gifted to me to wear test. All opinions are my own.
