Ok my plus size friends....
All I want for Christmas is BOOTS. I can't seem to find any that fit my fat legs 
The Avenue had some however Just cause I am heavy everwhere else doesn't mean I am a size 14 shoe (no offense to anyone who is a size 14  )

Re: Ok my plus size friends....
OMG, I just had this problem!!!
I went through and tried on every boot in MJM, and only ONE went over my calves...
Seriously, there IS a market for women with big legs!!!!

Me too Kristin...
I was willing to spend well over $100 for a nice pair of boots
And the only ones that fit me were some cheapass pleather ones for $20
I left in tears...

Re: Ok my plus size friends....
I have the very same problem, Juney..
I have very heavy calves and no matter what size I'm at , weight wise, I can never find knee high boots that will zip up  even when I lost a bunch of weight before I became pregnant I could not find boots that fit, and I was at my thinnest in quite some time

Re: Ok my plus size friends....
I fit my fat calves into a pair at 9 West..they are tight but they stretched a little.
I have had that problem forever with boots.

Here were the old threads:
Boots#1
Boots #2
I found a few here:
silhouettes
and on Zappos.
Lane Bryant may have them too.
I can never find any in a store though.

Re: Ok my plus size friends....
I would suggest Naturalizer because my big calves actually have room in the boots I have!!!

Call around to the different Avenue stores. I just bought cute ones size 8 at the location on Linden Place in College Point. It was the second Avenue I went to but they did have them. They fit great around the calf.
