For years, all of us wide-calved girlies have struggled to find boots that fit, and cowboy boots are no exception. It almost never fails that as soon as we find a pair of boots that we like and our size is available, they constrict all blood flow from our calves or, worse, won’t even go up past a certain point. All of this to say, we were more than just a little excited to hear that Tecovas finally released a wide-calf version of their best-selling Annie cowgirl boot this week.
Tecovas The Annie Wide Calf
Tecovas make some of our favorite cowboy boots on the market, and the Annie has been their best-selling cowgirl boot for years. In fact, the Annie boot took our prized spot as the best overall cowboy boot after months of testing. I could go into some overwhelming detail here after all the research I’ve done on Western boots over the years (you can read our best cowboy boots story to get all the deets), but I’ll keep it short and say that it’s pretty tough to find a pair of boots that work as hard as Tecovas and look as good at a decent price point. The Annie boot provides all the uppity features any cowboy worth their salt would look for in a pair of boots—like 100% cowhide leather, reinforced stitching, a timeless look, and a Goodyear welted sole—without requiring consumers to pay an arm and a leg just for a pair.
But if you don’t want to just take our word for it (and thousands of happy customers), then take Kelsea Ballerini’s resounding recommendation. She gave each member of her team in the most recent season of The Voice a pair of Tecovas boots, with the girls getting the Annie.
Not to mention, tons of fans also sounded off in the comment section of the Instagram post with the announcement. “The boot gods have heard my prayers!!!!!! FINALLY 🥹💖” said one. While another just said, “finally 😭 thank you!!!!”
The wide-calf version of the Annie boot looks pretty identical to the original, but features a 15.5-inch shaft circumference in comparison to the usual 14-inch. The wide-calf option doesn’t come in every colorway/leather available as the regular Annie boot, but it does currently come in some of their most popular—Bone, Midnight, Cafe (goat leather), and Scarlet.
As expected, these boots are selling like hot cakes. The scarlet colorway is already down to limited sizing, and each color has at least one size completely sold out. Needless to say, I wouldn’t sleep on this decision. Buy these boots while you can!
