Tall Wide Calf Boots (++ good for walking!)

[diosabellissima]

I'm searching for some real world reviews of fat girl boots. As life long fatty, I am astonished and pleased at the amount of options we have this season, but I'm more than a little overwhelmed. I'm hoping that y'all have some insights you can toss my way

Duo

There are plenty of options at Duo (a bit pricey though: duoboots.com )

I've got the Brindisi, here: http://www.duoboots.com/ladies-boots/black-nubuck/brindisi/d/

They're not glossy leather, but I find they can dress up/dress down very effectively, and I've walked for days wearing them around Europe - very comfortable and supportive.

I also have the Malm(I think that's what they were called), which seems to have been replaced by http://www.duoboots.com/ladies-boots/black-leather/cazale/d/. A bit more polished-looking, but I didn't find them as comfortable.

These. (No, seriously. THESE.)

I have them. They are amazing. Real leather, waterproof, super comfy foot bed.

When I took them out of the box I thought the goring was the worst thing ever. I hated it. But I at least wanted to put the boots on. Once I did, I actually didn't mind the look of the goring at all. I dunno. YMMV there.

And I love the little medallion-y thing at the top of the calf. Super classy and makes them different from a lot of boots I see, possibly mistake-able for a fancy designer?

I recently tried these on and they were very comfy and cute. I didn't purchase because I decided to go with Frye's Jenna boot (but it's a short shaft) but who knows, maybe in the future!

PS. I tried the Stone color and it's quite nice, very neutral.
PPS. Those Rockports above look amazing too!

I got a pair of Giani Berninis similar to these a few years ago. I have tender feet like a baby and these are very well cushioned. And elastic bands on the sides! Also, have you looked at Earth brand? Not sure if they have any adjustable calves but I'm pretty sure they don't have wide-calf.

In addition to large calves I have cankles. I actually bought a really lovely pair of boots from Wide Width Boots that I had to return nit because the calve was too small, but because I couldn't get past my ankles. That said. I bought 2 pairs of boots from Torrid 5 years ago. One pair died last winter but the second pair are still going strong.

TL:DR - I recommend Torrid wide calf boots. I'm looking at this pair & maybe this pair this year.
