Problems with Boots

I have a major problem with boots.

 

First of all, let me clarify to say that I LOVE them and would honestly wear boots every single day if I could. Heels, wedges, flats, short, tall, dressy, casual, cowboy... you name it, I adore them.

 

But here is my problem...

 

I have huge calves.

 

At least I think that's the problem. In any case, about 75 percent of the time when I purchase boots I cannot get the darn things to zip up over my calves. And this is before I put skinny jeans or leggings underneath them. And although I love them, one can only have so many pairs of short and mid-height boots. I want TALL ones! It really is a tragic dilemma.

 

I have been wanting some tall, black, wedge boots for the longest time. And guess what... for my birthday my mom gave me these beauties...

 

 

Jessica Simpson Becki Wedge Boots from Macy's

They were exactly what I had been dreaming about!
I rushed to try them on, already envisioning all the outfits I could pair them with. And then came the sting... The all-too-familiar pinch of the zipper hitting max capacity and the skin of my calf beginning to pucker and bulge above the top of the boot. My fat calves were not allowing the zipper to close.

 

I wiggled my toes sadly in the perfect size 6.5 bottom section of the boot and then sadly pulled it off.

 

First world problems.

 

BUT I MUST HAVE THESE BOOTS!!

 

Why, oh why, is this be such a challenge for me?! I'm going to take them to Macy's this week to see if they are available to order in "wide calf," but if not I'm outta luck and will just have to return them.

 

Sigh.
