I love these! I'm 5'2" with big calves and very wide feet, and I have a hell of a time finding comfortable shoes. Trotters and their sister brand Softwalk are usually the first places I check. The styles tend toward matronly, but you can find something cute every once in a while.I can actually walk around all day in these (I bought an 8.5 WW, my regular size) without wanting to cut off a squished, aching baby toe. They're also roomy enough for a pair of wool socks.The calves are definitely on the larger side, but for me, that was exciting because I could wear jeans under them if I wanted to.I'm sad that my size is currently sold out, because I would totally buy a second pair. When you have feet like mine, you need to buy 'em when you see 'em, because you might not find anything cute for a couple seasons. Fingers crossed they come back in stock!

I purchased these last week and they arrived quickly and in good shape. I am always on the search for a high boot that will fit over my very wide calves; they usually measure around 17-17.5 inches at the widest point. These boots zip up with no tugging and worries that I will tear the zipper out and I can wear them without my feet falling asleep! Although I believe they say they measure 18" I think that may not be accurate, they are probably 17.5ish. I ordered a 9, my usual size in almost all shoes and boots, and these feel slightly big but I think that an 8.5 would probably be too small. I have only worn them long enough to try them on and walk a little bit around the house but they seem like they will be comfortable. They look good and seem to be good quality, too.

I am very happy with my purchase. I have always had problems finding comfortable and attractive boots due to my wide calf width. I have recently lost weight and desperately wanted boots for fall and winter. My calves measure 16 inches. I ordered 3 different boots since I was skeptical I would find a good fit. I was so excited when for the first time in my life, I found boots that I could comfortably zip up even while wearing jeans. They look good and I wore them for 5 hours last night with no issues. They are a very nice leather and I can't wait to feel how soft it will be after a few more wearings. These are great boots and I am excited to be able to wear them this season.

I am so happy to have found riding boots that fit! I've got short legs (I'm 4'11") and muscular calves (about 15 inches around) and it is so hard to find boots not only for wide calves, but short legs. A lot of the wide calf boots I've tried didn't fit as they were too tall and the "wide calf part" didn't hit where my calves are (so couldn't zip them up). These are perfect - they hit the right part of my leg and zip up with no struggle at all. They might be a tad wide for my calves, but I'm sure with jeans that they will be fine. I felt that size wise, they were a bit small. I usually wear a size 6, but went to a 6.5 on these. If you've got short legs and wide calves, these will be perfect!

My foot falls between 8.5-8.75 and the 8.5 boot fit me perfectly in length. The footbed is flat with little arch support. Unfortunately them being listed as 18 shaft circumference is not correct. At the absolute widest part of my calf I am a just below 17". These boots claim to be 18" but there is no way that is possible. It feels more like a 16" to me, because I could not zip them up entirely. So, either the circumference is not correct at the top OR the body is too narrow. Either way, beware.

I bought these shoes in February of this year, so I've now had them for about 8 months. They are already completely worn out. Granted, on average, I wore them about twice a week...however, they started wearing out fairly quickly. The toes were easily scuffed and my sole started falling apart around mid August. (I've attached pictures) The zipper pulls both broke off by mid-April. I loved the style and they fit my feet very well (for someone who finds it hard to find boots that fit both the width of my foot and my calf, this is exceptional) but I would have thought for $200, they would last longer than 8 months which is why I gave them a 2 star rating.

I got these boots because I needed wide calf specifically. I have a 17.5" circumfrance so I thought surely these adorable 18" circumfrance boots should fit. They did not even come close. While these boots are gorgeous, these are NOT good boots for curvy women with thicker calves. No idea where these other reviews came from from women claiming they fit them. Now I have to go through the hassle of returning them. So bummed because these are so close but are not true to their advertisement at all.

These boots are very cute for wide calf, and somewhat comfortable... The problem is that the straps that are attached to the zippers are awful and constantly stick up instead of lying flat like they should. So when you're walking or standing they're sticking out and look super awkward like the boots were made wrong. Also one day out of nowhere when I was unzipping them and taking the boots off, one of the zipper straps just broke right off. The metal completely broke and there was no way to fix it. I called zappos and they offered a return. I've now had the new ones for about 2 days and the zipper strap broke off again!! And they no longer have my size, so it's either return them or keep broken boots, both choices suck. I was very disappointed.

These have been so nice! My feet feel the cushions underneath and it is like walking on pillows. They are the most comfortable boots I have worn in a long time. I ordered the WW and my feet have room to spread while not chafing the sides. The tip so scuff easily so I try to be careful not hit my desk, car door, etc.

calf is truly wide. I don't usually need/order a wide calf. Regular are just a bit snug. This was too wide for me but not terribly.

This are probably the best boots I got in a very long time. I've always had a problem finding the right boots for my wide calf and high instep. These fit perfectly since minute one. They are the best combination of comfortable and good look. I especially love to wear them with longer skirts, maybe a bit less with unlined pants, as they might pul the fabric and feel a bit odd. However all in all I would recommend them.

For years I have been trying to find boots that I could wear with bunions and an ankle issue. After several more tries of other varieties this year, I finally got this pair and have a smile on my face. Even with a heavier sock they will work for my feet. I have a EE width and its very hard to find shoes and boots without my bunions hurting after a bit. My calf is 15" and I wear a 7WW. I thought the described 18" calf might be too wide, but it does not feel like that and gives me just enough room for jeans. Looking at them out of the box, I thought them seemed to narrow, but so far so good!! If I need to bring them to get stretched out in the bunion area I can for a bit more comfort. I am 65 years old and this is my FIRST pair of high boots!! Now... onto the skinny jeans and wearing a skirt in the winter.

I LOVED these boots - they are roomy, the toe looks sleek - not boxy. The calf is ample and the leather is soft and good quality. I always buy a 7.5 but these were longer than most 7.5s. I am exchanging them for a 7.

Love these boots. I have a wide foot and wide calf and they easily zip up without choking my leg. The foot bed is comfortable as well. Color and buckle detail are beautiful. I highly recommend these boots.

I wanted to LOVE these boots. They look great. The foot was comfortable Unfortunately my calf is quite wide. The boots fit over my calf due to the elastic, but when I walked the tops slide down and the zipper pressed against my ankle so much that it was painful. I am 5'1" and these were a bit tall for me. I suspect that fact combined with the tight calf was the ultimate downfall. I decided to return them.

Extremely saddened that these boots were (shockingly) too big for me! I ordered a 9 1/2 WW because of wide feet and bunions. Even with thick socks on they were too large. In most shoes I get 9W but have to wait for them to stretch a bit (for bunion purposes). The only available size close to mine was the 9 1/2 WW & I was sure they would fit perfectly as wide sizes in stores were too tight, even in 10s. No fault of the boots, clearly an issue with my feet. The quality is great on these boots so order them with confidence.
