We love it when our co-founder is asked for commentary on fashion, especially for plus-size perspectives. Recently stylecaster published an article on the best wide-calf boots and interviewed Ashley for the article. 

Some thoughts from our co-founder: 
“Wide-calf has an extended width which is truly great for all women with what I like to call an athletic calf. For as long as I can remember, I struggled to fit into knee high boots and I blamed it on years of kicking a soccer ball. Now, more shoe brands are designing for a wider calf so that even more customers can partake in the knee boots we often see coming back around for fall.

Depending on the brand, you might see an elastic panel on the side giving you about an inch in stretch to get into the boot. Some designers go as far as adding 2.5 inches. Most standard boots are 14, while wide-calf can go to a 16.5 inch circumference. This year, we have seen more and more shoe brands understand that offering a wide-calf option is just as important as a narrow or medium width option.”

You can always rely on Amour 781 to curate pieces for US, some of our favorite boots this season are the Drini Wide Riding Boot  and the Codie Ankle Bootie in dusty violet by Sam Edelman.
