Why I Love the Fairfax & Favor Regina Boots – Especially for Wider Calves
If you’ve ever struggled to find knee-high boots that actually fit wider calves, you’re not alone. It’s something that’s frustrated me for years — until I discovered the Fairfax & Favor Regina Boots, specifically their Sporting Fit range.
My Love Affair With Fairfax & Favor
I’ll never forget the day I was introduced to Fairfax & Favor. My boyfriend surprised me with a day out to Stow-on-the-Wold in the Cotswolds. He took me to the Fairfax & Favor store and told me to choose whatever I wanted (I know, I couldn’t believe it either!). From that moment on, I became a huge fan.
Why I Chose the Regina Boots
After trying on just about every jacket, shoe, and boot in the shop, I fell head over heels for the 10th Anniversary Regina Boots in Navy and Gold on Tan Leather. I didn’t own anything like them already, and they felt so special.
The Moment That Sold Me
Honestly, I was nervous to try them on. My calves have always made boot shopping frustrating – most tall boots just don’t zip up. But when they told me about their Sporting Fit, designed specifically for wider calves, I thought it was worth a try.
When that first boot zipped up all the way to the top, I felt my heart flutter. I stood in front of the mirror, zipped up both boots, and couldn’t believe how flattering they looked. It was a real "wow" moment for me.
How I Wear Mine
I love finding any excuse to wear my Reginas. I still remember their first outing – my brother-in-law’s birthday at a farm shop bar. It felt like the perfect setting to debut them, and I felt amazing. I even got loads of compliments that night. I also wore them when we took my parents for lunch at The Savoy Grill (see photo), so they can be dressed up or down to fit the occasion!
What I love even more is how these boots bring women together. Whenever I spot someone else wearing them – or they spot mine – it always sparks a little knowing conversation. It’s like being part of this exclusive, in-the-know club of Fairfax & Favor fans.
