I love the suede detailing on these  “Lucy” knee high boots:

It definitely kicks the boots up into the realms of sexy footwear   They’d be great with a pair of skinny jeans or a knee length skirt – perfect for adding a little more coverage for fall and winter!

It’s the time of year for lots of RSVPs…

The tops of the boots are adjustable!  There are leather panels at the top of the boot that can be opened or closed by buckles – allowing ladies with different calf sizes to wear them.

Now that’s a smart design!

Especially if it’s as gorgeous as the wide-calf “Brenda” boot by RSVP:

Check out the detailing on the toe & the front of the leg – isn’t that fabulous?

isn’t “Brenda” the name of someone in a tv show?

I ended up getting elastic gussets sewn into the insides of my boots – which is a great solution if you have access to a trust-worthy cobbler or shoe repair person.

Thankfully though, there are more options now.  Duo Boots offers a wide range of boots in wide calf sizes (you just supply your shoe size and calf width and they show you all the boots that will fit) You can finally indulge in lovely, fashionable boots without cutting off circulation!

Here are some of my favorite picks:

The Odessa:

I love the easy to wear low heel – and the option for suede if patent leather is a little too flashy for you.

The Zamora:

Clean, classic lines – perfect for pairing with a knee length A-line skirt.

The Messina:

Slouchy boots are still hot (at least according to the number of comments I get asking about them!) and these ones are a great option for us wider-calf girls
