The Big Boot Challenge Revisited - Simply Be

One thing I find extremely difficult to buy is knee boots. Over the last few years more and more brands have taken the plunge and stocked wide and extra wide calf boots.

Last year I was lucky enough to review a variety of different wide calf boots that were on the market.

This winter there seems to be an even wide choice of boots available to women with wide calves. 

The first pair that I am looking at are these beauties from Simply Be.


I ordered these boots with the intention of returning them once I had tried them on and taken pictures. However, once I had tried them on it quickly became clear they weren't going to get returned!

I ordered the Extra Curvy Plus in an EEE fitting. The calf sizes on these boots is 556mm, which is 55cm. I ordered the bigger calf fitting with the hope that I could tuck my skinny jeans in to them.

I can easily fit jeans in to them. I could have actually tucked jeans in to the next size down, which fits up to 522mm.





As you can see from the first picture they are slightly baggy around the ankle to that only due to the fact that the EEE fitting is very very generous.

For £65 these boots really are value for money. They look great will dresses, jeggings and skinny jeans.

The Big Boot Challenge - Simply Be

WoooooooooHoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

We finally foot boots for all use 20 inch calf girls!!!

The Big Boot Challenge is here!! Over the next few month, Myself and Becky (MrsBeBe) will (hopefully), be review a host of boots for the bigger calved amongst us.

The first pair of boots is from the amazing Simply Be. They have once again listen to customer feedback and have brought us the Super Curvy Calf (I like how it's not called the ultra ultra ultra extra ultra wide calf boot). Boasting calf widths up to 540mm (size dependant) they are THEE most generous calf fitting boots available to buy. 

Myself and Becky ended up picking the same boots to review. 



When I picked these boots, I was still a bit unsure that they would fit as the size guides hadn't gone online.....BUT THEY DID!

I honestly cant tell you how excite I was when I tried them on!





The first time I wore them, they rubbed a little on the back of one of my heels, but apart from that they are super super super lush and I have worn them almost every day since.

I am definitely going to get another pair of the super curvy boots, although I might get a size bigger so I can wear them with skinny jeans!

I asked the lovely Charlotte at Simply Be if there was any plans to expand the range and she informed me that it was sales dependant. So I urge you all to go and buy a pair!

If you need to check you correct calf and foot width you can do here, although to get the super curvy sizes you need to click on the size guide at the side when purchasing.


Now what are you waiting for.....go hence and buy!!!!!!
