All those squats, leg presses and lunges that Girlawhirl's done to keep her legs in shape have left her with sculpted muscles, and calves that don't quite make it into every boot that she's tried on this season. Luckily there are plenty of fashionable options – from low heeled weekend boots to higher heeled sleek ones for the office – at all price points, that can accommodate larger than average legs…
• These mid-heel Naturalizers can do double duty for weekends and the office. They come in both black and dark brown, and their synthetic uppers and rubber soles are a vegan alternative to leather boots.
