Wide calf riding boots

Finding riding boots that actually fit across the calf is harder than it should be. Standard long boots are cut to a single calf width, which means many riders (particularly those with fuller or more muscular legs) end up with boots that gap at the zip, pinch when they ride, or simply won't do up at all. This collection solves that problem. 

We've brought together our full range of wide calf, extra wide and adjustable-fit riding boots in one place, so you can find a boot that works for your leg, not just your foot size.

This collection is for riders who want a proper long boot without the fitting compromise: whether that's a smart everyday boot for schooling and hacking, a country boot that takes you from the yard to the pub, or a competition field boot with a close, flattering line. You'll find options across all these categories here, from affordable synthetic everyday boots to premium leather and waterproof styles, in standard, wide and extra wide calf fittings from brands including HKM, Toggi, Shires Moretta, Tuffa and Dublin.

HKM's Normal/Extra Wide range is one of the most straightforward solutions: each boot is made with a wider calf shaft as standard, so you simply choose your size and get a boot built for your leg.

Toggi's Calgary and Canyon have long been firm favourites with wider-legged riders, with a generous calf cut and an elasticated rear panel that gives extra give without looking sloppy.

The Shires Moretta range takes a different approach, using stretch outer panels, adjustable lacing and materials that mould to the shape of your leg over time, offering a close contact feel even on a broader calf.

And if you'd rather sidestep the calf-width question entirely, the Dublin River Boot's open top is a practical and popular choice that fits a wide range of leg shapes.

Before you buy, measure the fullest part of your calf while standing (not sitting) then check the brand's individual size guide, as calf width sizing varies between manufacturers. If you're between a standard and wide fitting, go wider: a boot with a little room in the calf will bed in and mould comfortably, while one that's too tight rarely improves with wear.
