I've been plus sized all my life and have never purchased a boot, simply because I thought I was too fat to find any to fit or to pull off the look. At 33 I'm finally tired of thinking that way and I'm READY to rock what I want. I am a big fan of SimplyBe and would love to be able to try some of their boots! The Soul Diva Quilted High Leg Boot is super cute and I would love to be able to call these my first pair of boots! I've also never purchased skinny jeans because I thought I was too big to pull them off. With the $100 giftcard I would be able to purchase my first pair of boots and my first pair of skinny jeans!! Time for this big girl to shine and embrace her inner fashion loving spirit that's been hiding all these years!! Side note....totally love your videos and your personality. Such an inspiration and kindred spirit. Love watching you!

I absolutely love the sole diva high leg boots! I'm actually glad that you posted this bc I have never owned a pair of boots fit for my calves! This is soo informative to me!! So thank you so much

[mcmax]

I would buy the black and gold boots like you showed and the brown buckle boot. SO nice to finally be able to see a place that's decently priced and fits 22in+ calves..

Hi there thank you for showing us these gorgeous boots!! I’m 32 and have never owned a pair of boots bcuz I was always to big and didn’t know there was actual options out there for us!! I’m loving the “Heavenly Sole Knee High boots” in black!!! So beautiful!!!

[angelicafelty]

Hi!!! I got to tell you this first and foremost. THANK YOU I'm around the same size as you are and always felt insecure about my body. I love how positive you are and how confident you can be, you truly are Ana amazing person and I love you for that.
Secondly, you have such amazing style!! I love all your outfits and the way you put them together is awesome. Best of all all the clothes are affordable. Your beautiful and the impact your making is beautiful.

As far as the giveaway goes, I got to say the boots at SimplyBe are fabulous!!! So many cute boots to choose from I spotted atleast 12 pairs I love. The one that I am just dying to have are the Joe Brown Lace Up Leg Boots!!! they are so bad ass!!! the buckles and the zippers. I fell I love. Please pick me. Your probably going to get that alot but truly no one would be so thankful. My husband has been the sole provider for 2 months now and with the shortage in our income and 2 boys plus a pregnancy I won't be able to get any boots. All I have are my old house slipper/boots there totally comfy still but not really boots.
If you pick me I'll do a video of me out and about in my new sexy boots for you lol

Hands down the sole diva buckles. I can never resist black with gold hardware on ANYTHING. BUT ON BOOTS?! Girl yes please!

[sandystasyn]

I die for the Sole Diva high leg riding boots in brown because I mean obviously they are stunning but I really love the brown colour with the light gold accents and the tassel omg! I'm usually so set on black but this year I want to expand my colours and these would look epic with the jewel tones of fall!

[fiveorsixgirls]

i just got myfirst pair of wide calf boots two days ago!!! got them at torrid. so many shops carry them now. i wish you would have tried on the boots with the beautiful heels!!! great vid!!

[jenjohnson]

Honestly as much as I love those riding boots, I would probably give the gift card to my best friend for christmas so she can spice up her wardrobe...shes a new mom so she hasnt had time for herself lately. anyway thank you Corissa for everything you do for the plus size community! I've actually been considering starting my own youtube channel bc of u so thanks for the inspiration!

[Hello_Kristie]

I'm LOVING those Sole Diva Buckle High Leg Boots! I've honestly never worn tall boots because my calves are so large, so thank you for doing this video! I'm excited to check them out.

[cherrylala]

Hey Lady, I have been through a divorce and have finally come out of the fog of being sad. You have been a huge part of that. Well after 2 1/2 years, I am not getting rid of stuff and learning to have my own style and being myself. I have decided I like wearin skirts and dresses only. I dunno why, it makes me feel good and girly. That being said. I can play with tops and shoes and BAM, i am wanting a pair of tall lace up boots soooo bad especially going into winter. So the ones I dig are >>>>Joe Browns Lace Up High Leg Boots. These would make my soul happy :) Love you and Thanks for being body positive. I need to hear ppl like you.

[KimberleeClare]

I'd buy the gold trim riding boot. They're too cute with the details. I bought 3 pairs of their boots last year and they're still great this season. They're so comfortable.

[demi.doobiedoobiedoo]

Definitely would be buying those Gold trimmed riding boots. I have 2 pairs of simply be riding boots from 2 years ago that I am still obsessed with. They are amazing quality!!

[jamieblackler]

I'm dying for those Heavenly Knee High Soles! 😍😍 those Sorrel boots too..girl I live in Utah. We always get mass amounts of snow! You're amazing 😉 thanks for all the inspiration!

[tiffanymeetze]

JOE BROWNS ANKLE BOOTS are the cutest pair of boots! 😍😍😍I'm in love!

[hyperbolicpants]

One HUGE caveat to all of this for short girls, though: Even if your calf measurement is smaller than what the boot says it fits, there's still a good chance the boot will NOT fit you. Here's why:

There's more than just the calf width at work here. There's also a calf length in the picture. Boot shafts are tapered, so while the top of the boot shaft might be 23 inches around, just a couple inches down from that, it might only be 18 or 20 inches around. If you're shorter than the fit model they used to construct the boots, there's a good chance that the widest part of your calf is not going to match up with the widest part of the boot shaft. You could have 21 inch calves and still not be able to fit in a 23 inch shaft boot.

I know this pain. I am 5'3", and have looked and looked and looked for boots, and have never found any mid-calf or taller boots that fit me, even though my calf size is easily within the range of what wide calf boots supposedly fit. They're just not designed for my short person legs. I've given up at this point. I've just learned to accept that I'm an ankle boot kind of gal.

I've never had a pair of riding boots and I would love to try them. Especially the ones you showed with the gold accents. I love that! I usually get the low fold over boots, but I can't really wear them once the snow comes in. Maybe riding boots will be better!

[ANGELA-dvhd]

Im lovin the ones you have, gold detailed riding boots or the heavenly sole ankle boots!! Have wanted to try their boots for so long

[le-annesummers]

Joe Browns Buckle Boot looks pretty cool! I like the gold ones you have too! Tfs! Love ya!

[KateMcIrving]

I would buy the Sole Diva Quilted Hi Leg Boots. They are so cute. I love the Quilted look and the studs on the buckles make the boots look even edgier. Since they are black I could wear them everywhere and I wouldn't have to worry about bringing shoes to work when it snows because I could definitely just wear these and be set.
