Yeah, if I am anything over 200lbs, boots are out of the question.

Finding them in a style I like and a price that doesn't offend my sensibilities means there are approximately 3 pairs of shoes I'm likely to buy. <br /><br />I'm loving my Camper shoes that I got from Zappos, even though I have a slight foot-muffin situation in them. They are the first heels I can actually wear for hours on end and still walk in comfortably. I want to try some of their boots, but don't want to get my heart broken if they won't fit over my calves.

My feet got so fat, BUT I'm happy to report that since losing almost 30 pounds my feet are shrinking! I can now wear a size 7.5 regular. I still have big calves though, so boots are still an issue. Anyway, have hope - your feet will shrink!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16467773470034507122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610048593668629476.post-39944991944874026632011-10-16T19:30:30.949-07:002011-10-16T19:30:30.949-07:00I wore a size 9 shoe.

I hate it but I cannot it anymore than I can change my height. I carried a good portion of my weight in my legs. My calves are like pudgy deflated balloons now. <br /><br />Jane~Jane Cartellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655507125048588634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610048593668629476.post-28793896893873023882011-10-16T18:40:57.128-07:002011-10-16T18:40:57.128-07:00Torrid, Lane Bryant and Avenue sell wide calf boot...Torrid, Lane Bryant and Avenue sell wide calf boots as well as some online retailers.

I have never even attempted another other boot styles. Seriously, can nothing be easy for us?
