How to Measure Your Calf Size

Choosing the right size and fit is crucial when shopping for wide-calf cowboy boots. Consider your calf width to ensure a comfortable fit.

Measure Your Calves: The first step is to measure the widest part of your calves with a flexible measuring tape. Measure both calves because they may not be the same size.

Know Your Calf Width: Once you have your measurements, you can narrow down your size options. Standard calf widths for boots are categorized as narrow, regular, wide, and extra wide.

FAQ: Wide Calf Cowboy Boots for Ladies

How do I know if I need wide-calf boots?

If your boots are snug or difficult to pull over your calves, it’s a good sign you might need wide-calf boots. A quick way to tell is by measuring around the widest part of your calf—if it’s 15 inches or more, wide calf boots will likely offer a better fit and comfort.

Can you wear cowboy boots with wide calves?

Absolutely! The wide-calf cowboy boots at Ariat are designed specifically for women with wider calves. Features like StretchFit technology and expandable shafts make it easy to find a stylish and comfortable pair.

What is the difference between wide-calf and extra wide-calf boots?

Wide-calf boots are designed for women whose calves are about 15–16 inches in circumference, while extra-wide-calf boots typically accommodate calves that are 17 inches or more. Both options offer a bit more room than standard boots, but extra-wide provides additional space for a perfect fit.
