Finding the best boots can be trickier than you may think, especially if you're looking for a pair that lands just below, at, or above the knee. The difficult factor? Landing on a pair that fit perfectly over your calves—not too snug or loose, but just right. If you have wider calves, you may think a pair of knee-high boots you can actually wear doesn't exist, but that's where you're wrong. They do—it just takes a bit more digging to find them, and the search starts with figuring out which boot brands offer wide-calf styles.

If you're shopping for a pair online, one great way to learn about the fit is to read through customer reviews, many of which speak to the fit and whether or not they work well with wide or narrow calves.

As you don't have all the time in the world, we did our due diligence, looking solely for styles that shoppers said had a "wide fit" or a "large circumference." We've narrowed in and are focusing on the best boot brands that offer wide-calf styles that are on-trend yet comfortable.

Read on to see and shop five brands with the best boots for wide calves, with customer-approved product selections from each. And don't worry—we've included the best reviews for proof.

Customer Review: "These boots are fantastic! I had such a hard time finding flat, leather, over-the-knee boots, and these had far exceeded my expectations. I haven't worn them for long days yet, but the fit seems great, so hopefully, breaking them in won't be terrible."

Mary-Kate Olsen and Kate Middleton are just some of the many celeb fans of flat riding boots.

Customer Review: "[I'm] really glad I purchased these.

Very comfortable! I wore them straight out of the box for a full day of work [and] then to a holiday party. [I] had them on from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and could have worn [them] longer. I'll definitely be ordering another color. I am a true [size] 8, and these fit perfectly with tights or thin socks."

Customer Review: "When a boot is comfortable straight out of the box, it's a winner for me!

I am very pleased with the look and quality of these boots. The shaft is the perfect height for pairing with skirts or cropped pants. [They] would also be cute with leggings. Easy to put on. Heel height is just enough without being too tall, and the bottoms are grippy, which I love.

Overall great boots. [I] would reorder."

Customer View: "Sexy. Supple leather. Stylish. Comfy from the minute I put it on—no break in needed. [I] could not be happier with the sale price and these kick butt boots."

Customer Review: "I am in love with these boots!

They fit perfectly, they don't gape around my narrow calves, and they are very comfortable. One observation is that the color looks like cream online, but in person, it seems much closer to a beige."

Customer Review: "This boot is high-quality leather with tons of cushion inside. It runs true to size, but I like mine slightly bigger to wear with socks."

Customer Review: "I absolutely love these boots! They're such a head-turner.

They fit true to size and are comfortable. Highly recommend!"

Customer Review: "These are hands down probably the comfiest pair of boots I now own. They literally go with everything, and I've had zero problems with breaking them in or getting blisters. I've worn them for more than half the day on multiple occasions.

I purchased a size 6, and I would say they are true to size."

Customer Review: "These are the best Chelsea boots—ever, [especially] if you're looking for a sleek boot with a bit of platform! I've been on the lookout for these shoes, and my boyfriend bought me these for Christmas. I am a size 5 in other shoes, but he got me a 6, and it was just right, so they do run a little small! I owe Doc Martens, Chelsea, and Jadon shoes platformed, and these are super comfy in comparison to those.

I would definitely size up half a size or full size, depending on what you feel is best. I would totally recommend these to everyone—20/10. I hope this helped!"

Customer Review: "Even if you have thick calves, get them!"

Customer Review: "Obsessed with these boots. Comfortable enough to be worn on the daily.

LOVE THEM."

These are brand new and I'm already obsessed.

Customer Review: "Love these boots! Comfortable and super cute! Go well with jeans and dresses."

Customer Review: "[I] love this boot. [It's] exactly what I wanted with [an] elevated heel. Warm caramel color with some darker tones at [the] edges.

True to [the pictures] and true to size. I am a size 10M wide calf. [The] calf width is perfect. I did order [the] 10W because it's what they had in stock, and [they] actually they fit great—not too wide in [the] ankle at all. So if [you're] on [the] fence, I'd go with 10W unless you are super narrow.

Very comfy soul does wear like a heel but has that naturalized softness. Nice leather feel."

The fact that these come in wide is epic.

Customer Review: "Purchased the black. The heel height is perfect for walking all day long. The boot comes in a choice of medium and wide width.

Plus, the selection of calf sizes so the boot can be customized to your liking. These boots are perfect for work and play."

Customer Review: "Finally, after three years of searching, [I found] a wide calf boot [that] fits my wide calf! I wanted a leather boot that did not have a huge elastic panel, and this is it. I wore it in the city the first time out, but it was pretty comfy."

Customer Review: "I have really big calves, and this fits really well.

I always wanted Hunter boots but couldn't get [them] past my calf. I love that I was able to have the adjustable option."

This sherpa lining is guaranteed to keep your feet warm all winter long.

These boots are a fun twist on Hunter's classic style.

Yet another winner from Hunter.
