Cowboy boots are everywhere, and there have never been more options to choose from. But if the width is off, you're not going to be comfortable, so we've rounded up some experts to help us find the best wide-calf cowboy boots on the market.

According to Free People stylist Maddie Zinn, "Wide-shaft boots have been so popular this season, so there are lots of great options out there." She also goes on to add, "I'd go for a tonal, neutral color that comes to the knee for a lengthening effect. And I love the idea of getting a boot with subtle texture for a more luxe feel."

Aside from considering color, you can also pay attention to shaft height. Kate Valdmanis, vice president of Kemo Sabe, says, "Wide calves are best paired with a shorter boot for an easier fit."

Once you find a pair that suits you, it's time to focus on how to style them. Valdmanis praises the versatility of cowboy boots, saying, "Whether styling them with jeans and a blazer in the fall, a dress in the summer, or even a black-tie event, there’s truly a boot for every occasion. Currently, I’m loving a cool après ski vibe featuring a taller style boot, cozy layers, and a fabulous cowboy hat." For everyday attire, Zinn says, "With a knee-high cowboy boot, there are so many fun proportions to play up with styling. For a wear-now sensibility, I'd go for a baggy trouser to get a great puddling shape with the pointed toe, or a midi-skirt to achieve a sleek, column effect."

Heeding the experts' advice, we've selected 15 wide-calf cowboy boots to wear all year long. Read on for our picks.

Heritage Western Boot

Choose between two different widths for a boot that feels tailored to you. The R-toe offers a traditional look, while a removable cushioned insole enhances comfort for all-day wear.

Sizes: 5.511

Colors: Black, distressed brown, copper brown

What reviewers are saying: "Love, love, love these boots. I was worried they wouldn't be wide enough for my foot or my calves but they fit perfect."

Dolly Western Leather Boots

The extra-wide shaft of this boot makes them ideal for those with larger calves, and the slight taper to the ankle keeps them fitted. The chunky heel is the brand's contemporary spin on the classic style.

Homestead Wide Calf Boots

This all-white boot is perfect for warmer weather, pairing great with light wash denim and pastel tops. Zinn suggests "throwing a tee and blazer on to give a little prep balance to the western boot, and you're ready to go."

Sizes: 6–11

Colors: White, black

What reviewers are saying: "It’s hard to find boots that don’t tighten at your knees, and these wide calf boots fit like a dream. If I ever could, I would order more pairs of these boot beauties."

Sierra

A stocky shaft is paired with a thick heel for a style that elongates the legs without climbing too high. And the ample colors and styles mean you can choose a boot that feels the most like you. Antimicrobial shock-absorbing insoles add an element of practicality as well.

Sizes: 5–12

Colors: Tan, white, black, tobacco

What reviewers are saying: "These boots are gorgeous and exactly as pictured. Definitely true to size—but if you’re unsure or between sizes, pick a half size down."

Kate Boots

If you want something truly bespoke, Kemo Sabe might be the place to go. Valdmanis says, "My favorite boot right now is the Kate boot. We designed it with the woman in mind who wants a sexier height (it’s a 16 inch upper, so it hits just below the knee) as well as the 2.5 inch heel height (our tallest heel in the boot line)." She also adds that Kemo Sabe creates "custom boots where we take the customer’s exact measurements to ensure absolute precision. When looking for a taller boot with someone who has wider calves, we recommend designing a custom boot with us for the perfect fit."

Sizes: 6–9.5

Colors: Off-white

Idyllwind Wheeler Performance Boots

Crafted by boot artisans, Boot Barn's shoes are high-quality and authentic. Leather lining, a comfort insole, and foam footbed are a few of the features that stand out in this style.

What reviewers are saying: "Amazing boots that are so comfortable and require no break in time. I wore them to my son’s rehearsal dinner right out of the box."

Colors: Cognac, black, whiskey, mahogany, redwood

What reviewers are saying: "I love these boots! I had them in black and just got them in Mahogany."

Sila Western Boot

A sleek pointed toe and wide shaft give these an everyday appeal. Dress them up or down, with a leather skirt for a fancier occasion or cut-off shorts for casual wear.

Colors: Black, off-white

What reviewers are saying: "I bought them in both colors. I love the way they fit. The comfort of the sole is great!"
