Sexy boots for those of us with wide calves!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I have wanted boots for my wide calves (even after all my weight loss they're still too big for off the shelf boots) for 20 years and I finally found them. I ordered 2 pairs and they are BEAUTIFUL and SEXY. So for anyone who hasn't been able to find wide calf boots, or didn't think they even existed, go to widewidths.com, you won't be sorry!

i just saw an ad for something similar on telly here the other day and thought "about time". I know quite a few normal weight people who cant wear boots!

I have the opposite problem, my boots look a bit like I'm playing dress ups in mummy's clothes, lol, because I have skinny calves. I'd love a bit more shape to them actually. We're never happy are we?

Yay to sexy boots for women of all sizes!

:thumbup:I'm going to check it out. I also LOVE boots. I'm hoping with more weight loss that will help with the calf problem. I grew up in Michigan and always had the most unattractive boots because my calfs were so big the boot top wouldn't go up. I'm tickled to hear that you found something that you like so much.

Here is the answer ladies. I bought these boots last year when my calfs were absolutely HUGE and they fit. They are really stylish and sexy. They are tall calf boots that lace up the back. The extra wide size fits a calf of 18" to 20" !!!!! They come in black and brown and are $154 at zappos and ard called Formula by David Tate. Here's the link Formula by David Tate at Zeta Zappos

Excellent! Thank you for the link. I never thought about measuring my calves. I was always down about them ever fitting. I have several pairs of boots but they are mid-calf and not form fitting (loose fitting). I also like these boots because the heel is low. Many boot's heels are very tall and not practical.

This is great, cause I am down 73 pounds now and still can't get the high ankle boots I have to get past my ankle. Hopefully they have something that will help me.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
