Customer Reviews David Tate Branson - Extra Wide Shaft

As other reviewers have stated, these boots truly have a wide shaft. I found the ankle to be very baggy and unattractive and the leather and construction looks cheap. Not what I was hoping for in appearance.

I ended up returning these despite fitting well. The quality was really poor for the amount spent.

These boots arrived with a few evenly-spaced marks that did not budge when wiped with my sleeve. In addition, they are narrower than most WW boots (EE rather than EEE) and were quite baggy in the ankles but a bit snug in the calf. Length-wise, they felt right on the money at 8.5. I'm afraid that between the marks, narrowness, and baggy ankles, I will need to return them. My search for knee boots continues.

I can't respond to the fit of the boot since I couldn't get my foot into the boot completely. The only part that managed to make it past the ankle section were my toes. Honestly, how hard can it be to realize that if a woman has large calfs, it may be a possibility that she also has large ankles. I'm done with the fashion boots for wide and extra wide calfs. There are some of us who weren't blessed with perfect legs and ankles. Perhaps a boot designer out there will have a vision of a boot with give in "all the right places" so some of us gals can live the dream of walking in snazzy boots. Anyone up to the challenge??

These boots would be fantastic...if the leather was real. I don't know how this brand has the nerve to charge a lot for faux leather. They bunch weird, but the height was perfect, the heel perfect...but fake fake fake. Going back.

Foot bed and toe box fit great. Zipped well over my calf but then had a weird 1.5 inch gap at the knees so they looked like pirate boots. Can shoemakers please understand that sometimes more athletic calves have a curve and that maybe our knees aren’t fat??? Had to return. Not paying nearly $300 for boots that look weird.

Way too big in the ankle and the top. I wear an extra wide and this was even wide for me. I bought the 7.5 EE. The ankle is really baggy and the top of the boot had about a one inch gap which looked terrible. I was really disappointed since David Tate has always worked well for me in the past.

The boot fits perfectly - I have a wide foot, high instep and sporty calves so the width of the feet and leg on these boots was just what I've been looking for years. I have only worn them once but so far, so good!!!

Finding boots that fit my large feet with high instep, as well as muscular calves has been difficult. These boots are perfect; great fit for my feet and legs, and they look stylish.

I ordered a wide so that I could fit my orthotic inside and wear bulkier socks. They fit perfectly and are soooooo comfortable! I put them on this morning to start breaking them in and 8 hours later I am still in them. They are also beautiful. The calf fit perfectly. The height is perfect. It has been 40 years since I had a boot I loved this much. As a young woman I wore boots all winter. Here's to returning to boots for comfort, warmth and style.

7WW black. Good-fitting boot for a short-legged (5’3”), wide footed with high instep person … with large calves! Have bought David Tates before so knew to order exact size on boots that are WW. (Normally I would go up 1/2 size to accommodate socks, width, etc., in other brands or if normal width). There’s still room in the foot box to let me include my orthotic insole. Great.

The perfect leather wide calf boot for wide foot DOES exist. These are actually comfortable and they fit my wide calf perfectly whereas about 90% of leather "wide calf" boots are usually too tight. Love them and only wish I could still get them in brown and other colors would be amazing.

Finally the perfect wide calf fit! So many wide calf boots are still too tight for me. I tried the Boost and they were way too big in the calf, these were perfect and actually comfortable as well with good support.

Beautiful boot! Unfortunately, the calf circumference was still too small even though labeled as extra wide.

I am so happy I purchased these boots - I have an extra large calf (I need 20") and have never been able to find boots that are comfortable, stylish, and of good quality until now. Love this boot and love Zappos!

awesome

Best boots for a wide calf by far.

Very comfortable, perfect fit and very awesome looking

Beautiful leather, sturdy zipper and solid sole.

This fat calved girl is so happy with these boots! My calves are 17+ inches in diameter, and these boots zipped over my jeans. Would recommend!

My hunt for the best wide shaft knee high boots is over, these boots are amazing!! I have an 18’ calf and short-ish legs, so finding knee high boots that fit are a struggle. These boots zipped up perfect, they’re great quality with a really comfortable lining. I went up a half size because boots can sometimes fit tight on me, they’re definitely true to size and very comfortable. I highly recommend these boots to anyone with a larger calf!!

Omg, I finally have a nice boot to fit my big calfs!!!! Very comfy and nice looking!

For someone who has very thick calves- it's nearly impossible for me to find boot that fit- this is my first pair of knee high boots. great quality- beatiful leather. thank you for making a great shoe for a thicked legged gal

LOVE these boots! I have a pair in black AND brown! I’m a 12-13 depending on brand, shoe last, design, style. I bought a size 13, they fit great, with or without socks, plenty of room in the toe box—and plenty of room in calf, (even a little big) but I could easily tuck jeans in them! I’m flat footed, so the fact that they have no arch support or cushion doesn’t bother me. As a teacher, I was on my feet all day with no problem. Though, I’m considering adding a thin cushioned insert for the upcoming season. I’ve had them for 4 years. ***Now, all that said, I had a problems with the construction. The heel separated from the leather in 4-6 weeks—I didn’t wear them every day. Returned them for a replacement (Great Zappos Customer Service!). 2nd pair did the same. I called Zappos; they said it was a product defect & they would replace with a different boot but I kept them because I liked them & it’s hard to find boots in my size! So, I took them to the shoe repair shop. Both the black & brown had the same issue. I’ve taken each pair to the shoe repair shop twice. And I’m taking them again before fall to see if the heel can just be replaced entirely. The uppers & zippers are in great shape!!! Like others, I think they are a pricey, give the construction issue & absolutely zero arch support or cushion; however, they’re served me well for 4 years, and I just love them, so I can’t complain!!

Great staple. Perfect for office & running errands.
