Historically, having wider calves meant no (actually cute) knee-high boots on store shelves or online would fit me. Some, I couldn’t even zip up. Within the last few years, however, I’ve noticed an influx of inclusive footwear. Shaft circumferences of 15 inches or more are being debuted by top brands like Vince Camuto and Sam Edelman . It’s truly a triumph for all wide-calf shoppers.

On my quest to uncover more of this once-elusive boot, I discovered a can’t-miss deal on the Dr. Scholl's Brilliance Wide-Calf Riding Boots . Currently marked down 66 percent at Amazon, the boots’ roomy fit boosts your confidence while also tackling this fall’s chocolate brown trend .

If you’re a wide-calf shopper like me, keep reading to find out why I’m drawn to these under-$60 boots.
