WHY IT MADE THE LIST
The Penny boots have been best-sellers for years, and they're showing no signs of stopping. They nail that sleek, classic equestrian look that, for some reason, is often hard to find in a wide calf boot. And thanks to the back zipper and pull tabs, you won't be struggling to pull them off at the end of the day.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW
Along with the timeless cognac hue, these are also available in black leather.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST
Western wear has been trending for a few seasons now, and these boots would look as natural on a horseback ride as they would out to dinner. Plus, Frye has been in business for over 150 years, so they’ve had time to perfect the art of shoemaking.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW
You have four different colors to choose from with these boots, and they also have a cushioned leather insole for added comfort. We should also mention that these are pull-ons (meaning they don’t have a zipper or boot loops).

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT
Complete with a knee height and 3.25-inch heel—the highest on this list—this boot is one of the most flattering on the list. Reviewers also say the calf width is wider than most wide calf boots they've tried, which is a win if you've struggled to find a perfect fit in a tall boot before.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW
Bonus points for the contour footbed technology—you won't even feel like you're wearing heels.

REVIEW HIGHLIGHT
"Love love love! I have had so much trouble my whole life ever being able to shove my soccer/athletic calves into knee high boots and have never been able to achieve the wide roomy top look. FINALLY, these boots deliver, they are a true wide calf. The heel height is great, it is the perfect lift without being painful so I will be able to wear these for conferences. I ordered them a little big as I do with all boots so I can wear socks in the winter or add a padded insole. I would say they run true to size. The knee height is great too, I am 5'7 and they go to the right height. I love the color too. I can't wait until they restock in a size 9 black so I can wear them with dark tights."

WHY IT MADE THE LIST
Contrary to popular belief, not all boots are made for walking, but we're happy to report this exclusive-Madewell pair is. The short stack heel and super cushy Cloudlift lite padding in the insole make for one extremely comfortable pair of boots. 

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW
This wide-calf boot is also available in brown and features an inside zipper to make it easy to put on and take off. 

WHY IT MADE THE LIST
