Wrap a cloth tape measure around the fullest part of your calf to determine your calf circumference, then follow the links below to find your best fit.

Wide Calf (16" or more)
Boots with functional laces, buckles or stretchy uppers are excellent choices for wider calves. Many boots have elastic goring that stretches to provide additional calf circumference.

Wide-Calf Boots

Narrow Calf (less than 13 3/4")
Some boots are cut for women with slimmer legs. Others feature adjustable or stretch fabrications that conform better to a slender leg.

Narrow-Calf Boots

Styling Tip: Whether your calves are wide or narrow, short boots worn with matching opaque tights are a great alternative to knee-high styles.
