“Getting a great pair of boots that look wonderful, fit, and feel good to wear has been a life's work for me”
As you know we are in the business of putting together a collection of wide calf boots that are as accessible and as inclusive as we can possibly make it. We have been doing this for many years.
We’ve known about the pain and embarrassment women feel when looking for knee high boots, for a long time now.
Why should finding a pair of beautifully fitting, knee high boots, take some women a whole lifetime?
In her, post on Fall Boots, for big feet, the wonderfully informative @katiesturino sampled some fabulous ankle boots. As we read the comments, the level of frustration felt by women with big calves and ankles was right there on screen for everyone to see.
We couldn’t help but bombard the post and reply beneath each comment made by someone seeking wide calf knee high boots. Our inbox went a bit nuts and we are now helping each and every one of the women that messaged us, find her perfect fit.
We then sent Katie an email apologising for the fact that we hijacked her post.
And today as we put this email together, we spotted another piece on Instagram about ‘true wide calf boots”. The issue seems to be the same, large retailers promote a wide calf collection, but it is limited in styles and size. Designs often only averaging 10 to 15% larger than a ‘traditional’ knee high boot.
Your feedback keeps pushing us forwards, improving fit and working on new designs. We are here to help.
New stock is due to arrive at end of October. We are now accepting reservations on the new stock, so if there is a boot you would like and it not listed on the website, please reach out to [email protected] and we can put the item on back order for you.
Your feedback is always a driver for us. We wouldn’t be human if we didn’t get emotional when reading it.
Don’t forget you can follow our new review series on Instagram @widewidths and on Facebook @widecalfboots. If you have any questions please do pop them in the comments and we will come back to you.
