Winter hasn’t come to Southwest Missouri just yet, but I am wondering where to put my holiday dollars with respect to my wardrobe. I haven’t made any major purchases just yet — a few family emergencies and other cash suckers have called for a tight rein over all indulgences, including looking fierce.
I did want to make my return post around my favorite winter splurge: dress boots. No, make that wide calf dress boots with a delicately high heel that makes me feel strangely decadent.
I was wandering around zappos when I found this stunning pair of dress boots:
They’re wide calf, which means that I might actually have a chance at stuffing my generous ah, calves in them. At nearly $200, they’d be a serious indulgence, one that I’m still not quite ready to take part in. But you luxe hounds have been warned: winter is starting to look good. Very, very good.
One minor nitpick on this particular pair: I would prefer a pointed toe. And yes, I’m one of those fashion nuts that’ll sacrifice a little comfort to look fierce, so sue me.

I found this wonderful site www.WideWidths.com and they beat ALL the others by far. First of all, every single boot on their site comes only for wide calves so you don’t need to get frustrated to find either no wide calf boots at all or just one or two pairs that won’t even zip up. I just got my second pair of boots with a wide calf circumference and I have NEVER been able to find a pair of boots before in my life! They have nicest and latest styles! Their customer service department is great too since they answer you within a few hours and they are very nice and helpful. Great site, Check it out!

I bought these boots from Zappos and tried them on. So beautiful! And the round toe makes them look super chic. I would wear them every day for the rest of my life except the calf was too small! I have bigger big calves than just a wide calf size (maybe 19-20 inches) and they just didn’t fit! But Zappos is awesome and has free returns as well as free overnight shipping, so it can’t hurt to try!
