these boots don't fit either

[redbird]

The boots I ordered from Zappo's that were advertised as having wide calves do in fact fit around my legs. However, they are too narrow in the feet, a problem I am all too used to.

I will be sending these back, and hoping that if these boots have suitably wide calves, there are other boots out there which will fit around my calves, including some that are wide enough for my feet.

I am not surprised that these don't fit, because they came up on a search for size "8 wide," but are also described as a C width.

I sure wish people sold what they advertised. Wishing you good luck finding an 8 wide with wide calves.

Good luck with finding suitable footwear!

I've recently ordered and returned a couple of pairs of waterproof lace-up shoes for Reason which weren't wide enough in the foot, either--sorry, REI customer service folks. Good to know about Zappo's filtering issues, therefore, because that's where I'm headed next.

This wasn't an error on Zappo's part--they had the information about the calf size on the web page, in inches, and I decided to take a chance on "C" width even though I usually need D or E, because those aren't exactly standardized.

Ah, makes sense. I'll be sure to check the specific width, then--thanks.

Though I know nothing of the quality of the Comfortview boots availble at Woman Within, I sure do appreciate the measurements they provide for foot circumference for each size/width combination. If only all shoemakers would do the same. May you find a good pair that fit before the weather worsens much.

I've known this problem myself for some time, as I have calves (and feet) that randomly swell as part of the side effects of my health conditions. I have to get all my shoes and boots in extra wide sizes to accommodate, which there are always less of available than 'straight' sizes.

Good luck with your search...
