I get my winter boots from Marisota. Nice fit and good quality.
They go up to an 'ultra wide' calf fitting, although not sure what the measurements are. x

I have the same problem i am a EE fitting and my calfs... well i cry when i get a new pair delivered and I cant get them over my fat calfs. i have tried loads of different options i like long boots with a wacking great big heal so i have to go for lace ups as you can let them at at will but for work i go to evens or littlewoods with littlewoods their south brand comes up big and they are good prices too.
Good luck let us know if you find so good ones

I'm eyeing up some purple suede ones on Duo - thing is they're £185 - but they are usually good quality - had some a few years back, and they're made to measure.

Hi ladies..
Just wanted to add if the boots are zip ups........try bootbands.com........it is leather or other material that is added in -zippered in actually to make the calf space larger and sometimes add a little flair if you want! I have ordered my first band and am anxious waiting for their arrival!!!

Hotter does a range of wide boots, shoes etc. I've got a pair of their shoes and they really are the most comfortsble shoes in the world. I'm not sure whether they have the style you're looking for though.

New Look has a good range of slightly more fashionable wide boots. Quite a few of these might be closer to what you're looking for.

I've just ordered some from the bootmakers - they do a bespoke service, can't wait :-)

I have ordered and taken delivery of some bee-yoo-tiful boots from the BootMaker - they were made to measure, and pricey at £190 - but I am hoping that they will last some time, and if the weightloss does continue, that they may be able to take them in for me......or if not, I'll pop them on ebay. Seriously, it is worth the financial pain to wear them, love them to bits!

I definately will be pooling all my birthday and Christmas cash into another more 'neutral' pair!

I too suffer the same issue. I ride and can never find long boots that fit. I have given up looking now....one of my planned treats for when I lose weight is to treat myself to some.

I love my Duo Boots... but do beware the calf measurements are great but the shoe bit tends to be small, order half a size bigger and don't forget to return them if they don't fit - they are really good with returns.

Oh, and only buy in the sales..... or go to the shop in Bath and try them on. Be careful though, it turns into a bit of a boot and shoe fest!

I so feel your pain! I've always had massive calves and struggled to find boots that fit - I'm now finally getting there but it's taken a near 5st weight loss for my calves to shrink 2 inches!

Simplybe is what I would suggest - that's where I've usually found things I like and that actually fit.
