Wide calves, generally measuring more than 15 inches in circumference, can make shopping for stylish tall boots feel impossible. However, we’re happy to report there are indeed a ton of width calf boots out there (if you’re looking in the right places, of course).

Whether you’re looking for an everyday riding boot or an essential pair of dress-up boots, nowadays, there are so many options available for wide calf fashionistas like yourself. If you need some guidance finding wide calf boots for the fall, we created a list of a few pairs you should consider adding to your fall shoe lineup.

Consider these leather over-the-knee boots an investment piece. After all, you can’t go wrong with a classic pair of tall boots in brown or black. Though the style of these boots is pretty simplistic, the polished studs on the ankle of these boots add a nice touch without being too flashy.
