For the winter months no one can go wrong with this darling and very wearable tall suede boot with a wedge heel. The detailed stitching around the toe and heel gives it some real style. It is called the “Gather Round”. It also comes in green, brown and mink if you want to add some color to your style.
Personally, we always look for wedge heels. Having that center foot support can really make a difference at the end of the day when feet tend to start aching.

Weight is such a touchy subject (especially with the writers at Hunting for Wides), but the reality is that weight gain can effect your shoe size. Feet can swell and become larger, so looking for comfortable and well-fitting shoes is a must.
The opposite can be true when you lose weight. It is not uncommon to hear stories of patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery having to buy a new shoe wardrobe to go along with their new clothing wardrobe.

We have just found THE source for wide calf boots. It is called WideWidths.com. It specializes in knee high boots designed for wide calfs. It was originally a brick-and-mortar store located in New York, but closed to focus on their growing online business.
They carry a mix of name brands including Naturalizer, Ros Hommerson and David Tate. Each boot has a listing of the available sizes (many are available in wide and extra wide) along with the calf measurement by size. This makes the site very unique and very user friendly. The boots are categorized by style and heel height for fast shopping. They also ship internationally.
Tip: Use their guide to properly measure your calf, so you will be confident you ordered the right size.
One of the easiest style of shoes for a wide width shoe wearer to buy without a great deal of struggle is a pair with laces. The laces allow you to spread the shoe out for maximum comfort. This is also a good choice for those who experience swelling from medical conditions such diabetes.
Lace up shoes come in a wide range of choices from athletic shoes such as running and tennis shoes. Work and dress shoes choices include oxfords and wingtips. Even boat shoes can be somewhat adjusted by opening up the laces as wide as they can go. The only concern is “over-adjusting” the laces for maximum room which makes the shoe look out of proportion. If gaps show on the side of the shoe tongue or the tongue shifts too much, it is better to find another style.

Bringing socks with you to a shoe store may seem like a task that you really want to forget about, but it may save you alot of headaches down the line. It isn’t uncommon to find footies, peds, or one-time-use socks in stores. They provide them for hygenic reasons; however, they may not really help you out when trying to figure out if a pair of new oxfords or slip ons are the right fit.
When you know you are about to head out to go shopping, grab a pair of socks that you would normally wear with the type of shoe you are looking for. Don’t grab a pair of athletic socks unless you are specifically buying new running or tennis shoes. They are too thick for work or dress shoes. They can add up to an extra quarter inch around the outside of your foot.

As the temperatures drop, we all start thinking about pulling out our warm winter clothes. And, what goes best with warm clothes? Great looking boots!
Wide calf boots (sometimes called wide shaft boots) are available, but like wide width shoes, you have to do a bit of hunting. Having a wider calf area on a boot ensures that you will be able to slip them on or zip them up easily. Since most fashionistas like to tuck their jeans into the top of boots, it is even more important to have a bit of extra room.
Here are two styles that we recommend to add to your fall wardrobe:
Black leather wide calf riding boots – These classic riding boots are made by Fitzwell. They come with a side zip for easy wear and removal. They also have an elastic panel that allows for extra flexibility. The bottom is rubber for rainy and snowy days.
Brown suede wide calf boots with high heel – These great looking boots are made by Naturalizer. They are also available in black. They have a side zipper for easy wear. They have N5 comfort features built in making them great for all day wear.
Wide calf boot tip: Look for dimension information. Some designers will give you the measurements for the circumference of the boot. Take a tape measure and wrap it around the widest part of your calf and. Determine how many inches around your calf measures. Compare that number to the inches given by the designer.
With halloween right around the corner, finding sexy boots to go with that sexy halloween costume is a high priority.
Designershoes.com has a wonderful mix of boots in black, white and red with laces and platforms. To get another 10% off your purchase, use the code FANTASY10.

You may be asking, “Why would I buy two of the exact same pair of shoes?” It does seem like a strange suggestion, but give us a moment to explain. Finding a great shoe that fits well and in your size can be a rare occurence. To find a shoe the fits, looks great and is on sale is even more rare. If you think there is any possibility that you will wear your shoes out before you no longer like them, then buy a second pair. Put it up in the top of your closet until you need them. It is not unusual for companies to stop making a particular style or to make a style but change the last* they use to form the shoe. Having a backup pair will cut down on alot of future frustration.
This is an example of an antique last made of wood. Shoe manufacturers use these forms to create and build each shoe. Centuries ago, the wealthy would have wooden “molds” of their feet housed at local shoemakers and cobblers.

You may not have wanted to hear that you should buy a classic style over a trendy style, but there is some real value in this buying behavior. Getting your hands on a wide width shoe may not always be in the cards. It may not be fair, but it is just a reality we often face. By selecting a good looking shoe that has classic elements, we can always be sure that there is something to wear. That doesn’t mean that you can’t buy something that is super trendy, but realize it has a limited wear-life. The best bet is to fill your closet with some well-made, classic styles that will be there for you for the long haul and once you have that “to-do” out of the way, splurge a bit by buying something that is very “now”.
