Recommendation for Wide Dress Boot

Liberty's Gal · 06-23-2008, 11:26 AM

I need to find a dress boot in a (very) wide calf.

Most of the brands I have looked in wide calf in my size (8) are only 15 1/2" wide, I need something that is more like a 16" wide or maybe a little more.

Any recommendations?

Or on the flip side is there any way to reduce your calf size?

Does it have to be a dress boot?
Mountain Horse's higher end boots are SO comfortable, wider than most wides, and not too expensive. I ride dressage but went with a field boot just because they fit so well. I have never had a comment or a second look wearing field boots in lower level dressage.

I can second the comfort of the mountain horse boots.

They are reasonable and fit my wide calf (and short calf)

What type/style of Mountain horse boot are you guys wearing?

You could wear this boot anywhere! That is the classic tall dress boot by Mt Horse.

I've worn the winter ones, and they were AWESOME and comfortable to school in.

This is the tall boot that I tried on and want to buy -

They also have a more traditional looking boot as well, but I like the tread -

Dress -

I have that field boot shown there second to last and luff it. It looks very traditional but feels like a tennis shoe!

The come with the coolest boot trees, too.

They are inflatable! I call them "spider plugs"
