Where to find knee high boots for athletic calves
Alright, so they call themselves a place to find fashionable "wide-calf boots," but I prefer to call them "athletic calves."WideWiths.com has a pretty broad selection of boots for those of us fashionistas with more athletic calves that may not quite fit into regular boots, and luckily, many of the boots, particularly the knee0high styles, are super sexy. They list the regular shoe size as well as the circumference around the calf! I particularly like the Ella Sexy Extra Wide Calf Dress Boot with a 2 3/4" heel and 14" shaft height.

I have 'athletic' calves myself, and just fyi, it is possible to have the shank stretched pretty signifigantly. Find a shoe repair guy who specializes in boots, if you can. Mine let me keep coming back at no extra charge until they were just right. Even at that, I think the charge was less than $10.
-I found a bargain on a pair of Clergerie boots and was not about to give up on them!
Now, if the temps would drop below 90, I could wear them!
