Try a catalogue, Simply Be or J D Williams they seem to do wider fitting shoes and boots.

cotton traders maybe, side zip, look wide at calf

Try Duoboots, they aren’t cheap, but they are absolutely beautiful, and come in a variety of calf widths.

I have the same problem, nothing zips up. I bought a clarks pair which did just about, but when I wore them fir the first time after a short whike it felt like my legs were being strangled.
They are not gigantic but I don’t even bother trying boots on anymore. Just too embarrassing. I feel your pain.

Next and Jones Bootmaker both do wide calf boots, if you have those stores where you live.

I have no problem but my sister does, she is tiny, much slimmer than me but has chunky calves.
We blame granny.
I think you can get boots with elastic in one side, try Googling.

About 4 years ago I spent an increasingly frustrating day trying to buy a pair of black, knee high leather boots. By the end of the day I was nearly in tears as I couldn't find a pair that would zip up over my calf. I felt humiliated, which I know is ridiculous. This year I am going to measure my calf before I go but has anyone else had this problem and have you found any suitable boots. I don't know where to start looking. I need to try them on so I won't be looking online. Thanks for any suggestions.
