Wide Calf Riding boots?

[Bernadine]

I need a new pair, with an 18 inch circumference. Any recs? I’d like to spend under $100.

Check out Torrid! That's the only place I've ever been able to buy boots. They are not high quality but you should at least get a couple of years out of them and they are reasonably priced.

I've been able to get them at DSW before. But I had to try on a lot. Even some labeled "wide calf" weren't really. I've heard that Lane Bryant sells them, though I've never tried there myself.

Like riding riding boots or fashion riding boots?

Ditto ... although the replacement pair I bought last season isn’t horribly comfortable. The pair I bought maybe 3-4 years ago is super comfy and women used to walk up to me in public and ask where I bought them (which NEVER happens to me with my wardrobe). Last year’s pair, which I bought because the older ones were starting to peel on the toe area, looks identical but just isn’t the same.

I really like Naturalizer. You may be able to find certain wide calf styles on Amazon for less than $100.

I got a pair at Clark's a few years ago that still look great. Wide calves are a problem for me too. Very similar to these, though I don't remember paying that much.

Actually, I think I did buy a pair at Lane Bryant a few years ago now that you mention it. Same thing as with Torrid, they are not an investment piece and won't last you forever. But they fit! 

I tried on approximately 1 billion pairs of "wide calf" boots of other brands and stores and none of them worked until I had the idea to shop at a store that is designed for plus sized women. It's a game changer.

Another vote for Torrid. They are the first place I was able to be sure tall boots would fit and order them online.

Ditto. I have three pairs of Naturalizer wide calf boots and they are great. The quality/comfort/actual wide-calf/colors of their offerings are on point. 100% recommended.

I got mine at Maurice's last year. Again, not a long term investment but good enough to last a few seasons depending on wear. If I remember correctly, I got 2 pairs for under $100

[Captain Serious]

I got mine at Woman Within.

I've had luck with the brand White Mountain at DSW. They usually run around $50-80. Not sure about the measurements though.

ETA you can search DSW's website by calf circumference.

I just took a chance on these from Amazon and am mostly happy.

I ordered two pair from Brinley Co on amazon last fall. They weren’t too expensive, they fit my wide as hell calves and have held up nicely.

[sunflower17]

I need extremely wide calf boots. I’ve only had luck ordering from a company in the UK called Simply Be.

[melsbels]

Another vote for Naturalizer! I have 3 pairs of their wide calf boots

[gault]

I have a pair from torrid. Decent quality and cute.

I've been known to wear my Ariat field boots with a skirt and tights in the winter...double duty.
