My curvy athletic calves measure 18 3/4″. I’ve been on a nearly life long quest (well, since I was a teen, at least) for tall boots that fit smoothly and reach to the knee, with room for my leg. This is the one. I’ve finally found it. According to the information on the Bed Stu website, these will adjust from 18″ to 19.5″. And they do. After reading reviews for the regular version of Glaye, I ordered a full size larger than my usual size. The footbed fits perfectly, and they were immediately comfortable enough to wear for six hours with a mid weight wool sock. At first I wasn’t able to get the ingenious second zipper up, but the next time I put them on, they had stretched just enough that I was able to, and they look perfectly molded to the shape of my leg. There’s so much that i want to tell you about why I love these. First of all, they fit. They are lined in the prettiest shade of soft red leather, and there is a godet at the top back (it matches the exterior color), so even if the second zipper is unzipped, they still look alright. The heel is a true stacked leather heel and a thing of beauty. They are Goodyear welted, which is important for both comfort and to be able to extend the life of the boot (Google it). There is a removable leather insole that is backed with memory foam. The leather is soft, gorgeous and organic. These are hand crafted with so much pride, skill and care by talented artisans that it is apparent in the look, fit and feel of the boots. They are not disposable footwear like other shoes and boots made today. Because they are able to be resoled (thank you, Goodyear welt), they have the potential to last a lifetime. Hence, the high purchase price becomes negligible when calculating cost per wear. Glaye is a gorgeous, well made boot and I highly recommend it. Thank you, Bed Stu, for offering a wide calf option for those of us who need it. They are life-changing, and I do not say that lightly: I feel beautiful, sexy, chic and very cool when I wear them. Get them, before they are gone!

At $355, these were my big splurge gift to myself for the year. I am a bigger lady with 16.5 inch calves and the quest for lifelong quality leather boots that would fit my legs has been long. These arrived and zipped up with room to spare. The leather looked and smelled beautiful. I put on 3 pairs of socks and walked around the house for a few hours to break them in. I took my daughter to play practice and waited there for her, then drove home. The boots didn’t snag or catch on anything.
When I took them off at the end of the day, I saw that part of the back zipper was unsewn from the leather. I hadn’t used the back panel zippers more than once or twice; these boots zipped up for me without undoing the back panels. If you zoom in to the pics i took when I first tried them on, you can see the little bump of the zipper in question. These came to me with shoddy seam work. I know the Bed Stu motto is “imperfect” but I didn’t expect this kind of structural imperfection for the price.
Sadly, I’m returning these and not asking for a replacement. Yes, I know I could send them in for repair or pay to have them repaired myself…but for $355, I want them to be perfect for at least a year or two. The materials are beautiful, the fit is a godsend for chunky ladies; the craftsmanship is clearly not up to par. I would be worried every time I wore these that some other problem would crop up and then I’d be stuck outside the return window.

As others have mentioned, these boots were TIGHT out of the box. As beautiful as they are, I contemplated returning them and then read on the Bed Stu website that you can stretch them out by putting on thick socks and blow-drying the boots on high heat. That did the trick! They fit perfectly now. These are super high quality boots and absolutely gorgeous in person. May be my favorite pair of boots ever purchased. Worth the investment!

Ugh. My heart is breaking. These are so, so beautiful, and so well made…but with only trying them on and wearing them while sitting for about 20 minutes, my feet started tingling and going numb, and they were already rubbing my heel horribly. These are incredibly tight in the calf, while simultaneously being too big at the top of the calf. The right one zipped up snugly, but fine, and the left one I could barely get zipped. Both ankles were extraordinarily tight and after taking them off, my ankles were purple! (also, I have skinny ankles, but larger calves). They just don’t fit perfectly, and for the price, they need to be perfect. So, sadly, I’m sending them back.

These boots are everything you would expect and more. The leather is soft and supple, and the width is perfect. I have a hard time finding wide leg boots that are truly a wide leg. These are absolutely perfect. The only down part is they are about a full size small. So order up. You won’t regret it. Also they are very narrow but I was able to have them stretched and I can see I’ll have these for years to come.

These boots are gorgeous. One boot was very very tight in the calf (barely zipped) and the other boot was fine. I unfortunately had to return them.

These boots are AAAHMAAZING! You cannot beat the handmade quality. However, size up. I normally wear 8.5 or 9. I ordered 9.5 and they were still kind of tight around the ankle even after wearing them around the house for two days so had to send back. Unfortunately, Zappos had no size 10 so had to order direct from the Bed Stu website. LOVE THESE BOOTS!!

Daughter loved these boots. She has large calces and wanted high boots and these worked perfectly and were very cute on.

I’ll start with the opening of the box: these boots are gorgeous. They look and feel well-constructed, the leather is gorgeous… they’re gorgeous.
However they are definitely close to a FULL SIZE TOO SMALL! Believe me and all the other reviewers who say this.
Once I got the right size they are still too small in width. Very narrow foot bed. It does help to take out the arch inserts if you can do without the arch support.
It’s a bit tight around the ankles, I’m hoping they loosen up with time.
Lastly, the calf zipper might not zip up for some with bigger calves. It’d be ideal if the calf circumference simply fit a larger calf without having to leave the zipper down. For some of us to have our calves finally fit, we have to go with the “unzipped undone” look. That’s a bummer. They could have simply been built a bit bigger, which is what we’re looking for in a wide calf boot.
Overall the boots are gorgeous and fit weird.

Ladies, before you buy these boots, think about WHERE you need the wide calf. I gained some pandemic weight so I had to replace my previous knee-high boots with wide calf knee-high boots. These were wide enough, but only if I unzipped the secondary zipper at the back of the calf. But that created a new problem – the top is now EXTREMELY wide and gapes open. This is not just an unflattering style/design problem, but it also results in the top of the boot being very floppy and hitting the backs of my knees uncomfortably when I walk.
If you’re not bothered by the design, or if you don’t need to unzip the back of the boots (if you have less than a 15” calf) these are pretty decent boots with beautiful leather – similar quality to my Frye boots. However do keep in mind they run a full size small.

These boots were the most beautiful boots ever. They fit my calf with room to spare. they would look good with jeans skirts dresses whatever. Sadly I had to return because I only bought a half size larger than what I wear. When you order you need a full size larger than what you normally wear. So because Zappos does not have a size 10 I have to wait and order them when they get it in. But I am looking forward to buying these boots. they are simply stunning.
Tamara –
Love these boots!!! stunning leather and great style! I did size up a half size, but it wasn’t enough. I wear a 9 and sadly I needed a 10 so I had to send back. I will reorder when they come back in stock. I will be checking back until they come back and I plan on getting the black and the teak. gorgeous!

I bought theses for my niece,she has a wide calf…well we wear the same size shoes 7.5…she couldn’t get her foot into the boot,so I tried (same size) could hardly get my foot in and when I did my toes touched the front of the boot ! I’m a 38 EU and straight up 7.5…the boot felt like a 6.5,7 what ? Expensive also…so I ordered 3 more pairs wide calf style,Bed Stu in larger size foot…I don’t know about anyone else ,I don’t mind paying the price but expect quality and to fit my foot…some gift huh…I’ll try again hoping for a fit,after that I’m done with Bed Stu…disappointing
Colette –
Well this pair was only a half size off…normally a 7.5 and theses were an 8…Bed Stu is crazy with their sizing ! Well in any event my niece loved them and they fit…cute and stylish! The color is sort of a gray brownish black,great to go with a lot…great boots if you can get the sizing right !

My calves are epically large, like 19″ with a calf that is thick above the ankle (not quite a cankle, tho) so gussets around the calf don’t help my particular problem. I have only rarely found boots that fit them that don’t have a big ugly gore down the side, or some other visible extender that runs the length of the boot. Wide calf boots just usually do not fit me. I just want to wear boots that look like they are normal and I’m never sure why bootmakers don’t just use more material to achieve an actual wide calf rather than making a regular boot and putting a stretch panel in there. Well, Bed Stu is a compromise here. The calf is actually wide with no freakish gussets, but that width is achieved by unzipping a panel in the back that gives the boot about 2-3 more inches of space from a leather insert, about mid-calf up. I don’t love the zipper panel, but the boots fit (unzipped they are actually about 1.5″ too wide at the top of the calf). Unlike other reviewers I didn’t find them to run small (my normal size 8M fits fine). The style is attractive although the brown is mottled although the imperfection thing is their motto. One thing I absolutely don’t like is the smell–they reek strongly of some chemical, maybe the vegetable leather dye–woosh it is strong; I left them in the open box for a week and they still stink. I imagine (hope) it will wear off with time but you can’t wear these out of the box for that reason unless you’ll be in an open-air space–it’s not a subtle smell. These are hideously expensive for my budget and they definitely aren’t perfect, but they fit, and they are cute, so I’m keeping them.

These are absolutely gorgeous boots—well made, seemingly quality materials, and beautifully designed. They wrapped around my wide calves, but I couldn’t zip them over my ankles—if you have wide calves and thin ankles, they’re perfect.

These boots are stunning in person. As for fit and comfort, I’ve been trying to years to find boots that fit my calves. These boots are adjustable with a zipper and open or closed, they fit! They also don’t look odd when the zipper is open. Try them if you struggle, you won’t regret it.
Julie –
Beautiful! Beautiful leather and quality workmanship. These are so well-made and comfortable. I typically wear a 7 1/2 and an 8 wound up fitting well with a thinner sock. Looked long and hard for a pair this lovely. Happy girl. Will have these for a long time.

My perfect boot.
I have narrow feet, skinny ankles and a wide calf. I measure 17 inches around my calf. These boots check all the boxes for me. I went up a half size. And yes the leather is a bit tight at the ankle. I fully expect the leather to loosen up over time. My other pair of bed Stu boots took some time to break in and now they are supple. They just get better over time.
Bed Stu runs small. Is meant for narrow feet. Good quality leather worth giving time to break in or taken to a shop to get stretched if need be.
Anna O –
These are beautiful looking boots but they are very narrow in the feet. If you have even slightly wide feet, I would take a pass. I returned mine.
Amy E –
Not surprised, by the consistently top notch quality boots from Bed Stu. They are a bit more expensive but worth every penny of the investment. Take care of them and you can include them in your will.

I bought these a few years ago and they are still perfect.

I ordered these and a few other wide calf boots. The wide calf turned out to be too wide for me, but more importantly the footbed itself was too narrow. I really appreciated the workmanship and the sturdy sole of the boot. I knew I would be in good shape on wet or icy ground. But It was too narrow for me, so I had to send it back.
Brenda L –
I usually wear a 9 and after reading reviews I ordered a 9.5. I was so exited how fast they came in. I couldnt get my left foot in them. I called customer service and they were wonderful!!! She assured me that I needed the wide calf instead of the regular. I received the exchanged boots super fast too! They fit beautifully!! I cant wait to start wearing them!! Top notch quality!! Shipping, 5 stars, customer service, 5 stars, boot quality, 5 stars!!! Cant wait for my next purchase!! Will order more!! FYI, when trying them on make sure you are on carpet in case they dont fit. Return/ exchange will go smoothly. Make sure to read their return policy.

Debating on keeping the boot as I believe they sent me a used boot. Not cool for the amount of money for a new pair. Found this boot in tan over 10 years ago. Still wearing them. Have been looking for rustic teak, but finally found black in my size. I’ve had 3 left ankle surgeries, so I need to determine if I can handle the break in period, as the foot still swells, nearly a year later. I’m limited in shoe wear and cannot wear angled heels. The soft insole and giving outer sole are perfect for comforting all the lingering issues from surgeries. Best boot ever. Not happy with slightly dirty sole.
