David Tate Women's Branson Wide Shaft Boot - Comfortable Ankle Booties for Fall & Winter, Fashionable Wide Calf Riding Boots for Casual Outfits & Office Wear

Even though they were a little loose around my ankles, the calves were loose on me (5’9 190+ pounds are my dimensions. I think beautiful plus size women would rock these boots!!I have one calf that is larger than the other. One calf is 17 inches and the other is 15.5. I have searched for 20+ years for a pair of boots that not only fits both of my calfs well but makes it appear that my calves are the same size when wearing my boots. It has been really hard to find and for the most part I end up settling for stuffing my legs in a mid calf boot which looks somewhat decent but you can see my left calf spilling out of the boot. Not ideal but I love boots and always have. These boots have ended my search. They do have a panel on the back that is made up of some strechy stuff- not sure what it is but it is like a strechy, fake leather but I actually like it and when I showed my husband he zeroed in on that panel and thought it was super cool actually. At 17 inches on my left calf the panel is streching a tad in the middle, not really at the top, so if you have calves that are bigger than 17 inches keep that in mind. You will more than likely be using that panel to your advantage to have these boots fit but my educated guess is that even at 18 inches these will fit comfortably. I have leggings on and socks on and they still fit very comfortably. I just got these in the mail yesterday and am heading over to Zappos to purchase the brown ones!Great for wide calf’s!! Plus leather, foot support and toe box are perfect!!! Love this brand!Amazing boots for my large calves. Really cool zipper. Have held up well with lots of walking, have withstood rain with no probs. They don’t have a lot of support, but feel good with thicker socks. The only issue I have had is that they do bunch around my ankles after a few hours because the shaft is so wide all the way down, but they are totally worth it! I’ve gotten lots of compliments!I am 33 years old and have never been able to find a pair of knee high boots that fit me properly. I have a small, but wide foot, and need a boot to fit my wide calf. These boots work perfectly and I was able to stand for 4 hours straight in these boots with no pain! They stretched to fit my foot comfortably, and the calf was a little tight for the first 10 minutes, but I was able to get them zipped and they stretched as the night went on and felt great too. I would highly recommend these boots to people with wide feet and wide calves (over 18 inches)! I would also definitely buy these again or in another color, if available.They started loosing the black color on the expandable portion and it had white sections after wearing them once. I wore them a few more times and it quickly got worse. I put them in my husbands car to be returned and he forgot however they were not wore again. Once I returned them they only gave me $9.60 back out of the $159.00 I paid for them and charge a huge restocking fee to justify it. DO NOT buy from them they are horrible boots and then they ripped me off. I would give zero stars if I could. I ask for the boots back since I was already paying for them and have never heard from them.This is my second pair of these boots. These are made of good quality leather, do not look cheap and are super comfortable. I have 18" calves and I have plenty of room for jeans. I live in Minnesota, where they use salt on the roads during Winter. Since the salt is awful on leather, I have to get a new pair of these every two years. I found that treating t these with a water repellent spray really helped. Just hoping that they never stop making these boots!Well I am now David Tate fan. I ordered chocolate brown 10.5w in wide calf (first time ever) and wow! So well made, comfortable, and classy yet at a reasonable price — I love these boots. Now I can wear real socks and jeans or pants without calculating if I can tuck them in and zip them up! Freedom!!Back panel not as flattering as anticipated
