5 Brands With the Best Boots for Narrow Calves

Eva Thomas  Thu, 06 Jul 2023  Who What Wear

It's boot season, and that means you have every right to scoop up the best boots for women to replenish your shoe closet. Now, when purchasing a fresh set (online especially), there are a handful of things to keep in mind, including fit (e.g., narrow or wide), quality, and sole. Luckily, most of these things are specified in either the description box or the product reviews, so before hitting "add to cart," make sure to read through everything carefully.

To help make your search for the perfect-fitting boots slightly simpler, we decided to find five brands with the best narrow-calf boots, helping you cross off the first criterion on the shoe-shopping checklist. So now you have one less thing to look for. Read on to see and shop our edit, along with the top customer review for each boot style. You know, for context.

Customer Review: "Beautiful leather boots! Even more comfortable than I had expected! These exceeded my expectations, and I cannot wait to have these as a staple in my wardrobe."

Customer Review: "I love these! I have five pairs of Frye boots. I love the brand, as the boots are made to last. These were my second pair of booties but the first with a pointy toe. You can dress them up or down, but I love them with my wide-leg jeans."

Customer Review: "It might be hard to see from the advertised picture, but it's definitely a mahogany color - more reddish brown. It's slick leather. It isn't easy to put on, but straps on the sides will help you pull them up. Taking them off is easier. I have wide feet, and the boots didn't feel confining, surprisingly."

Customer Review: "These boots are great for fall. I usually throw together a loose sweater, skinny jeans, and the Veronica Shortie for an easy outfit! Out of the many pairs of Frye boots I own, I would have to go with this pair as my favorite. My heel did slip in the back with the first couple of wears, but I noticed the more you wear them, the heel part of the footbed forms more to your heel to hold it down. They run true to size, and it would be crazy to not have these boots in your closet!"

Customer Review: "I am usually between size 6.5-7, and the 7 fits me absolutely perfectly. I got the caramel color, and they are the most beautiful boots I've ever worn. Thanks!" 

Customer Review: "They're great for my thin calves, although I will say I went down half a size, as my normal size would've been too big. And not only are these a stylish classic, they're so comfortable! "

Combat boots will have a moment this year, for sure.

Customer Review: "I absolutely love these boots! I purchased the brown ones at a fantastic sale price, and they are well worth it! The boots are super comfortable and look great with jeans or ponte pants. I have large calves, and the stretchy back allowed for a perfect fit...even with jeans! I hate following trends, and these boots are clearly timeless. A great investment!"

Because we're all about a wedge right now.

Customer Review: "Beautiful boots. The fit is great and the heel is not too high. I bought a 7.5 because I thought I would need more room but I should've stuck to my size 7. It's not a huge difference they still look great but maybe it makes my foot look longer."

"I felt the boot fit great. I could see how if you had a larger calf, this might not work for you, but they fit perfectly on my moderately thin calf muscles."

Customer Review: "They feel like [good] quality, [and] they fit perfectly. I'm a 7.5. I ordered a 7.5, and it's just right. I'm a big lover of suede booties. The shorter heel height makes this easy to wear for hours. New work boots!"

I can just tell that these are comfortable.

Customer Review: "I'm so glad I purchased these boots! They are narrow, and they fit my small calf's perfectly. I'm getting the black pair before they're gone."

These just look so sleek.

Customer Review: "The most comfortable boots ever. The inside feels so amazingly soft. Very sexy and elegant, especially the bone color. I'm purchasing another color for sure. Maybe the black or maybe the brown, I'm not sure. I love them all."

I love the vintage look of these boots.

This style has been very popular with fashion editors.

Customer Review: "This is a cute boot. It runs small. I generally wear a size 8.5, but after reading a few reviews decided to size up to a 9, and thank God I did. (The boot runs small—size up) It looks really cute. I have thick legs, and they fit perfectly. I would definitely recommend this boot. I went to the Steve Madden website and ordered the other colors available. I hope this helps because I rely on reviews to give me the scoop."
