Default Odd question about women's boots

My mother is looking for a new pair of boots, and her feet are slightly wider than what normal width shoes/boots are. However, the wide sized boots also tend to be for wide calves, which she doesn't have and she can't seem to get a proper fitting pair of boots anywhere. She doesn't want ankle boots or standard rubber winter ones.

Is there some store somewhere in Calgary that has something that works.

Try Canadian Footwear in Crowfoot or A Step Ahead in North Hill Mall. I have people in my family with hard to fit feet, and those two places usually have something

"Your mother wears army boots." That is what they will say. If it was the 1950s.

Misread the title. Content of the thread much more boring than I had hoped.

Ask a shoe repair guy how much it would cost to take in the calves of the boots if you found a pair where the foot part fit nicely. Also check out his work. It's real easy to butcher that type of project.
