One of the most important things you should take into account while selecting wide calf boots is the size of your shafts. There is no doubt that boots with wide shaft is more convenient for larger calves. The boots should also avoid the pressure to our toes and saving them from getting injured.
How to measure a boot shaft & calf ?
Measuring the Shaft:
A shaft is the part of the boot from the ankle to the top of the boot (It does not include the heel height). You can simply use a measuring tape in order measure the size of your shaft. This simple step will save you a lot of precious time (and therefore money as well) when you look for the best fitting boots.
Measuring the Calf:
Now, you have to measure the circumference of the widest part of your calf which in most cases is 14" - 15" up from the base of your foot. If there is a portion of your calf that is wider than that measurement, then please choose the larger one.
In order to choose the best wide calf boots, you must get these two measurements first and remember that comfort is your top priority.
