How To Choose a Pair of Wide Calf Rain Boots
Rain boots are available in a huge range of styles. There are designs suitable for pairing with casual, work or evening wear at prices to suit any budget. This is all great news for women looking to add a cute pair of rain boots to their wardrobe. However, plus size or athletically built women have a real challenge finding suitable designs that adequately fit around the calf area since most boots are made with only a 14 or 15 inch width.
Five tips for selecting the correct rain boots –
- Make sure you know your own calf size (see below)
- Browse online. Most manufacturers publish the dimensions of their footwear.
- Take into account you own height. If you are petite, you need to bear in mind that your calf will sit lower in the boot shaft. This means that boots will generally fit tighter so you need to add about an inch to your calf fitting size. Likewise if you are tall, your calves will sit in the wider part of the boot giving you a bit more wiggle room.
- Consider the length of the boots. Rain boots come in ankle, mid-calf, knee high and over the knee options. Ankle style is a great option, especially lace ups and elasticated slip-ons as they fit most sizes. knee high and over the knee can be great options for creating a slimmer longer look. The mid-calf style can be the most difficult to wear as they can highlight the widest part of the leg.
- Look at different designs. Adjustable straps, buckles and laces can give the necessary flexibility for the perfect fit.
Tip – If you are buying online, search for the phrase “wide calf rain boots” as some manufactures and retailers are beginning to cater specially for women with rounder calves.
Measuring Your Calf Size
This is a very easy process. Simply wrap a flexible tape measure around the widest part of your calves and record the measurement. This is your calf size.
If you are a petite woman you should add an inch to this reading as you need to be mindful of the fact that your legs will sit lower in the narrower part of the boot shaft.
Tip – Measure both your calves as each leg may be different and record the largest measurement.
- If you measure 15 inches or less – You should have no trouble finding boots to fit comfortably.
- If you measure 16 inches – 18 inches – You should be shopping for Wide Calf.
- If you measure 18 inches or above you will be looking for Extra wide.
