Sexy boot, well worth it. So many wide calf women - so few sexy knee boots. I wish I could start my own design company to rid myself of searching for boots that fit. If I could, this boot would be the starting point. It's great! The fit was perfect for my flat wide feet, while even allowing my foot to look narrow thanks to the slightly pointed toe design. My 17" calf had no problem fitting in the shaft. The only complaints are the gap at the top of the boot (since the top measures 17.5") from the .5" difference and the gathering at the ankle, which I attribute to me being only 5'2" tall. But considering the alternatives out there for women like me, I am happy with this boot. The heel is sexy and the straps across the front draw attention from my huge legs. Overall, it's one to get.

So disappointed. I have such a hard time finding attractive boots that will fit my "fat legs", but also are pretty and young-looking. Especially in brown. These seemed to fit the bill, but would not zip over my 17 inch calves. Not even close. I went to re-measure my legs, thinking I'd made a mistake. Nope. Are we destined to wear fuddy-duddy boots simply because we don't have skinny calves? I suspect so. The search continues.

I just received this boot yesterday and loved the boot as soon as I pulled it out of the box. Cute style, nice heel, and the gel insole is a plus! However, I was disappointed to see that they didn't zip all the way up and don't have any elastic inserts to help them give a little more room. I have large calves and have yet to find a boot that will zip all the way up. I was hopeful that this would be the "one" to fit. The boot in itself is a beauty, though.

Yeah! One word: amazing! I have finally gotten a pair of knee-high boots that fit snug and I can zip all the way up! The heel is high enough and slim enough to be sexy. I have large calves and the zipper was tight toward the top, but once zipped all the way, it was very comfortable. It is nice to have a boot that isn't the stretch kind, and has a nice firm leg! And it was wide enough without looking like flipper feet. I love these and I am filled with joy! At last, aahhh!

Awesome look and fit. Just ordered these boots and I love them. I was bit nervous about the fit, as I too have wide calves and it's so hard to find "sexy" boots. Well ladies, this is the one for me. I ordered them in brown and the next morning when I got up I went back for seconds and ordered the black. So nice and they look good and most of all feel great.

Perfect!
I LOVE these boots. My calf is 18 inches. I'm a tall girl...and these boots make me look FIERCE! I love them. During the week I got them, I received 4 compliments from strangers on how nice the boot looked. Very nice. Zappos sent the boot on time! The ONLY thing that I don't like about them is that I had to put cushion in them...Went out the the club...and omg, my feet where killing me lol. But I still looked good.Thanks Zappos.
FYI...GET THEM IN BLACK ASAP PLEASE!

A little disappointed -
I have been wearing these around the house for 5-6 hours. Not comfortable AT ALL! I typically wear a 10, I ordered an 11M & the entire foot portion is horribly tight!! My feet are completely NUMB from the arch down. My fat ankles are about 9.5-10", & these boots pinch a LOT in the ankle area. It hurts to walk up & down steps. There is no give in the leather. My fat calves are 18" at the largest point. The boots DO fit my calves alright. But I have to wear nylons with these, no room for socks at all! They also creep DOWN & bunch a little at the ankles. Also, one boot is a slightly different color than the other! Ugh! Ridiculous! I don't think I can possibly wear these out & be comfortable at all. They look sexy, but feel like torture devices.

NOT for wide calves -
I don't have large legs, but do require wide calf width for my athletic legs (I'm a swimmer). I bought these thinking that they would accommodate a TRULY wide calf and they did not. They claimed to be 17.5 inches in circumference (which should give me enough space), but the ankle was cut narrow and didn't fit well around my calf. Also, the toe is VERY narrow, so make sure you get a wider width, all you wide-calf ladies.
Its overall look was very nice, but I will need to return them due to poor cut and measurement issues.

Best boots for wide calves -
These boots are magnificent! They are classic and stylish and oh, the comfort! The gel sole feels better than a tennis shoe. The calf is a little too wide for me, but for the price, I am having them altered at a local boot shop - and they are totally worth it. I highly recommend these boots for anyone who has trouble finding tall boots that fit over the calf. They are sooo sexy that I would wear them out tonight if it wasn't 101 degrees outside. LOVE ‘EM!

Better for taller people -
I liked the boot a lot but it seems to be gaping just before my knee and gave me the impression it would fit better on a slightly taller person - I am 5'5". And for me the heel is a bit too high, it overall felt like "not my shoe". The regular width was a bit narrow, I usually wear a wide C.

Still not the right calf size -
I have had such trouble finding wide calf boots. These sounded great. They are really cute and the size and width for the foot are perfect (I'm a 10W). However, although I have a 16 1/2" calf, these were way TOO WIDE at the calf! I was so disappointed to have to return them.

This is the first boot EVER that I have been able to zip up my calves without getting them altered at a shoe shop. Thank you Zappos. I want the black ones, too! Only negative, they are narrow in the shoe.

Great boots!
First pair of boots I've EVER been able to zip all the way up! This was also my first Zappos purchase. I'm very pleased with the boots as well as with Zappos. It's gotten really warm since I got them, so I've not worn them out that much, but wearing them around the house has been pleasant. They are very true to the picture and dimensions given on the website. Great boots! I will be buying many more shoes from Zappos!!!

Finally a tall boot I can zip up!
These are the first boots I have found that fit my calves and are stylish too. I have looked in every major dept store, only in specialty stores for wide feet did I find any that fit, but hey I am not an old lady so I need something stylish. These are perfect. I've had them three months and have worn them extensively and the comfort has not let me down. I've already told all my "big calves" friends about your site and about Fitzwell.

Nice looking boots -
I would have rated these five stars, but the zipper area of leather buckles in by my ankles, and pokes my inner ankle. Very annoying, and uncomfortable. They look great and would be the perfect boot otherwise.

Best Boot Ever!!
I have never been able to find a boot that will zip around my 19" calf!! I have always envied women wearing tall boots in the cold winters of Michigan. These boots were a perfect fit! The shock absorbing gel insole is a winner! Who knew a heel could be so comfy! The leather was shinny and the style was classy. I am happy and excited about my first pair of tall leather boots! Thank you Zappos and Fitzwell!!!

Great Boots -
I can't say enough good for these. They fit my extra wide calves perfectly, the heel is the right height, and the decoration is subtle but classy. I believe I could wear these days on end without any discomfort at all.

AMAZING! Sweet mystery of life, at last I find you...
I almost can't say, without lapsing into poetry or song, how fabulous these boots are and how hot they make me feel! I've wanted full-length boots all my life, and this time around I tried a half-dozen pairs of boots before I discovered these, and I'm glad I persevered!
I have very, very wide calves - one is 17 inches, the other leans more toward 17 and a half - with tiny ankles, so to find a boot that approximates my shape this well is actually a heaven-sent blessing. I've been wearing them with tights and short skirts and stopping traffic. My husband would like you to know he's personally grateful to you for adding them to my wardrobe!
On me, they're surprisingly comfortable; I added a tiny front gel-pad and wore them for 12 hours straight the other day. I have slightly narrow feet and a high arch, which works fine in this shape.
Thank you, Zappos - what a wonderfully designed website and what a great return policy and customer service! I'm blown away by the possibilities. Can't wait to find something new! Who knows, now that I know the effect upon my husband, maybe I need TWO pairs of full-length boots...or three...or more!

It's been many y-e-a-r-s since I have found boots that fit my wide calf and are comfortable. These are the best boots ever. Wish it came in more colors. The surprise is the gel pad inside at the heel. Worth buying.

This is an excellent and beautiful shoe inside and out. Fitzwell is now my favorite brand because of the comfort gel insoles. It really makes a difference in comfort. I have these in brown and I wish I had them in black too. I feel beautiful in them. They are wide enough for my plus size calf. I'm a proportionate 1X but my legs have size to them. They look great (slim) in the books. I mainly wear them with skirts to show them off. I do wear them to the office. They aren't too much for conservative DC. Well worth the purchase. The calf was just right. I wear a 10w and bought a 10w. I wear them with tights or trouser socks but, not thick socks.

Cute and comfortable but very wide calf -
My calf measures 16-17 inches and I normally wear a size 10. Based on other reviews I chose an 11. The 11 fit right in the foot (I would definitely recommend going a size up, especially if you want to add inserts or wear thick socks) but the calf was HUGE. Not only huge, but in an exaggerated shape with the ankle being just a little big and the wide part of the calf much, much bigger. And in a weird shape, where all of the room is at the back of the shaft. I would say in this size they were around 19-20 inches. It turned out to be very unflattering to my legs and I had to return them. If you do actually have large legs with a very curvy shape like this, you will love these boots but if you wear a 10-11 and your calves are 17 inches or less they will really be much too big.

Jazzy, Sexy Leather Boot -
I brought these boots for my daughter for Christmas, 2007. Needless to say, she was very please with the boots. These boots are very stylish and cute. The only concern I have is that they are a tight around the ankles, and the zipper is hard to zip up and down. We are still trying them out around the house to see if with time it will be easier to zip up the boot, and whether or not the leather will stretch around the ankles. Hopefully they will work out because she really likes these boots.

Finally, a wide-calf boot with style!
I liked these boots so much that I bought a second pair a week later. They fit the foot well, and seem well-constructed. The leather in the ankle is a little stiff, but I expect that to relax with wear.

 |  | I ordered these shoes on the 23rd, and here they were on our doorstep by Mon. the 26th! I love the shoes, and ZAPPOS IS INCREDIBLE. I really appreciate dealing with you guys – you are the best. I am 78 and do not particularly like to go to the Mall – but I can go to Zappos Mall and I like it there. Thanks again. |  | ~ Joann K., October 26 2009
