Have you ever walked into a shoe shop, spotted the perfect knee-high boots, only to discover they just don’t zip up all the way? Oh, the frustration, and yes I’ve been there too. Time and again, I’ve fallen for gorgeous boots, only to have to hide them under wide-leg trousers instead of flaunting them in all their glory, simply because of not finding a pair that is wide enough.
Overall, shopping for clothing that is inclusive in size and isn't only available in the standard size range of UK 8 to 14 has definitely improved. From finding stylish plus-size party wear this festive season to an increasing number plus size brands which make finding wardrobe staples throughout the year much easier, retailers are increasingly more attuned to catering for all. When it comes to footwear and more specifically knee-high boots, there are quite a few options out there but they can be hard to track down. That’s why I’ve carefully curated the best wide-calf and expandable boots for you to shop all in one place.
A classic black boot is a timeless wardrobe essential. Whether it’s slipping them on for office wear or adding that extra height under trousers that almost graze the floor, they’re endlessly versatile. With party season, investing in a knee-high boot that’s perfect for the continued celebrations is a smart choice. With burgundy being the colour we’re all coveting, I’ve included my go-to wide-calf boots to seamlessly style with every outfit.
