Im currently onto my second pair and looking for a third pair! They are 100% leather, they have up to 3 calf widths and i think about 15-20 styles to choose from ranging from professional to casual so there is a <a href="http://www.wideshaftboot.com/ros-hommerson-simon-extra-wide-calf-boot-over-theknee-super-wid-p-1777.html" rel="nofollow">Super Wide Calf Boots</a> for everyone!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865738495844452250.post-28229226843648710712012-11-29T14:22:25.730-05:002012-11-29T14:22:25.730-05:00Your blog has been such a big help!

For reference my calves are 12.5" at the widest and my ankles are only 8". I wear a size 8. The boots are very comfortable and although at around $240. I'm glad I invested the money. <br /><br />Last year becuase of your blog&reviews I purchased the Simple Brrlin boots (in every color) haha because they were the very first pair of boots I found that fit my legs.

Luckily I'm a true 5.5, but I was wondering if it fits true to size?

Although these boots aren't at Zappos, I looked at other MIA boots and their faux leather boots seem to be under $100, which makes me think it's more likely these are leather than synthetic. <br />I really liked the Nacho boots, but again Amazon and 6pm say leather but Piperlime says synthetic. I wish Piperlime provided a calf circumference (although I've found them to be way off with their measurements), but the Amazon/6pm ones seem to be similar b/c 6pm says a size 8 has a 14" circumference, so a size 6 could be 13.5". I feel like circumference tends to go up by an eighth of an inch with each half-size. Good luck and let us know how it turns out!Little Contessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15390571347484462528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865738495844452250.post-39803191967213985172012-11-04T22:29:47.154-05:002012-11-04T22:29:47.154-05:00Hi Anon - You might want to check out my most rece...Hi Anon - You might want to check out my most recent review of Blondo's Vergara boot.

I looked through the reviews for the Fitzwell Lyra and <br />1 reviewer said they fit her wide calves well and another said they were a bit too big on her narrow calves so she had them tailored. Other skinny calf reviewers said the boots fit fairly well but I didn't see any ringing endorsements. From reading the reviews, it seems like these would fit best when stretched to fit larger calves. Quite a few reviewers said they were uncomfortable too, so perhaps not the best fit for a busy mom!Little Contessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15390571347484462528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865738495844452250.post-48198328359613219812012-11-04T22:14:05.734-05:002012-11-04T22:14:05.734-05:00Thanks!

I've been in search of a suede wedge with a reasonable heel (I have to 2 small kids to lug around!). And have given up hope at this point, I've ordered and returned too many boots this fall. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried on Fitzwell Lyra, this one seems to have a small calf (and even though I don't think they're all that attractive, I was hoping someone had some feedback to share! <br /><br />http://www.zappos.com/fitzwell-lyra-low-wedge-boot-black-stretch#prdInfo Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865738495844452250.post-52755086314179742412012-10-29T14:32:20.749-04:002012-10-29T14:32:20.749-04:00Hello!

I ordered the black and brown suede. They aren't real leather and lace up in the back. I must say that they fit perfectly and I finally found a pair of boots to wear with skirts/dresses. I will be sending the brown suede pair back...it doesnt look like suede and is a very dark brown (they almost look black).<br /><br />Let me know if you have any questions or would like some pictures!

(Websites also seem to disagree on what they're made of--MIA says leather, but Amazon says synthetic.) This doesn't seem possible to me, because look at the shaft on them! It doesn't look tiny at all! Maybe it's an optical illusion?<br /><br />Has anyone tried them?

I'm afraid Stuart Weitzman boots might have too tall a shaft for you. I'm 5'10" and the boots I bought are quite long in the shaft, so they probably won't work for you. I'd still give them a try.

I think as America balloons (the number of obese or overweight people is out of control!!), so does the calf size of the boots. I didn't have problems finding boots 10 years ago. Anyhow, Stuart Weitzman has great options for thin calves. They are pricey! So I had to stalk a pair for months last year. I recommend buying a pair at the end of the season, which I know is annoying. I bought these in the Saddle Old West, and the leather is divine (although I admit I had to order several times to get the best leather patina). <br />http://www.6pm.com/stuart-weitzman-vim-saddle-old-west-calf<br />These look nice too....<br />http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/stuart-weitzman-mezzamezza-boot/3272938?origin=category&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=7842<br /><br />Good luck in your search!
