Customer Reviews Rockport Tristina Gore Tall Waterproof Boot - Wide Calf

I was so excited about these boots, especially since they're waterproof and the weather here is brutal. Sadly, while I could get them zipped over my calves, it took some serious effort. They were comfortable when zipped and I could have made that work, but they were too tall for me as well. 5'4" with 17 inch calves.

These boots are perfect. They are dressy yet comfortable. The perfect combination. I did buy the wide calf boots though and I have thin legs. The regular width was so tight it was cutting off my circulation.

Best investment in a boot that fits, both my foot, and my calf! Comfortable, functional, and, attractive per spouse.

Oh. My. God. Let me start by saying I have been searching for over 5 years for a pair of awesome wide calf boots...these are basically an answer to a prayer. I have big calves, like 17+ inches and though these are a squeeze, once they are zipped they are amazing. I expect them to break in a little and hopefully will eventually get easier to put on. At this point though, I don't even care that I have to work a little to zip them... They are comfy and beautiful and the perfect height. Totally worth the price and patience to zip on my huge calves!

I always struggle with tall boots because of my 16 1/2 inch calves so I hesitated to purchase these. In the end I am so glad I did. They are beautiful boots that can be dressed up or down. I've walked all day in them through numerous cities with no problems whatsoever. The elastic back accommodates my calves perfectly without making the boots look "oversized" like some boots I have tried in the past. I would highly recommend these boots to anyone and may even buy a second pair for when my current ones wear out.

Absolutely love these boots; I have 16.5 in calf and it fits! Wore them for hours the first day and they are exactly what I was looking for; I am 5ft 2in and they go to just below my knee--perfect!

Was looking for a weatherproof, yet not snow looking boot, for my job as an EA at a school. I bought and returned twice until getting these. They are clean looking (if like me, you don't like all the buckles), comfortable and the stretch panel in back is awesome. Mine are wide calf and they are perfect for my 17 inch size calf.

First pair that fit my calves. =) Comfy and stylish too! And special mention to the excellent customer service!

I am delighted with this purchase. I have a wide foot and a wide calf. This did not have a wide width but I took a chance and bought them anyway. I wore them for the first time yesterday. They are very comfortable went on easily. The leather is very rich looking and supple. They look great! I had several errands to do so did alot of walking and was amazed how comfortable these were for the entire day. These are great boots. I got them on sale, so it was a really awesome deal!

Quality boot, the wide calf fit my 15 1/2 -16 inch calves well. The boot was not excessively tall for my 5'3" height.

I cannot say enough good things about this boot. Love! Super-comfortable, beautiful leather, and perfectly fits my wide calves.

I was told at Nordstroms to order a 17inch girth for my calf size, so that is what I ordered, but I wish I would have ordered a little bit bigger. Overall, it is an amazing boot and will stretch out! Delivery was amazingly fast, even though it was Christmas time. I was very pleased!

Love these boots! I normally wear 8.5 but had to have 9 in these. Comfortable and attractive. I have high instep and did put insoles in these for extra support. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect for me. 17" calves no problem. Size 9 fit my size 9 feet. Like the extra tall gore.

I ordered these boots as a birthday gift for myself -- I was hesitant because they were expensive, and I wasn't sure how I felt about the stretchy elastic in the back, but I have a nearly impossible time finding boots that fit my wide (16 inch) calf. So I got them in brown and then left them in the box for nearly two months because I felt guilty and wanted to keep my option of returning them open. However, once I tried them on for my 15-year-old daughter, she insisted I keep them. I have never regretted the decision. I wear them ALL the time. I even ordered them in black, too! They zip up pretty easily (I'll never have boots that are loose, I'm afraid), are super comfortable, and fit true to size. Love these boots! Big fan.

I love these boots. I was hesitant since my calf measures just shy of 17" and they were a little hard to zip the first time, but it is easier each time I wear them. Good fit, comfortable. Loads of compliments.

Love these boots! Very comfortable, they fit really well with my wide calf. Highly recommend for those who want a pair of comfortable boots with good design and waterproof.

Finally a boot that zips! I originally ordered the 7.5 in standard width in black. I have between a 16-16.5 inch calf and this boot is tight but will zip up. They are really good quality, and a really nice style. So happy to have found a good boot. The foot area was pretty narrow, and ends up putting my foot to sleep if I wear them for an hour. I am sure it would eventually break in, but I am returning for the wides, now that they have them available. I have a wider than average foot though, and tend to buy wides when available. Maybe next year I will order the browns!

Bought a second because when you experience support and comfort in a boot - wow. Wide width is truly wide. The rubber sole is casual and the leather is opaque not glossy. Not for fancy events but terrific for the 98 percent of the days you wear boots.

After searching for months, I've finally found a comfortable, tall, black boot that fits over my chunky calves. This was the 5th pair of tall, black boots that I've tried on. I tried Clarks, Naturalizer, Born, and Dansko. Some pinched at the top; others had too high of a heel or weren't comfy on the foot. I'm 5'8" and these hit just below my knee. I do have "athletic" calves so I was worried that they wouldn't zip, but, thanks to the elastic goring in the back, they did! Since I'm on my feet all day as a teacher and have heel spurs, I can't buy just any black boot. These are comfortable out of the box, but I'll have to wear them to school to see if they are still comfortable after 7 hours of walking, standing, and climbing stairs. I do like that these have a low heel and are waterproofed. That will make walking through snow and ice much easier. Thanks, Zappos!

These are just what I was looking for. These boots are super comfortable. I wear a 9½ - 10 wide so I ordered these in the the 10W. They fit perfect with my regular socks on. My only complaint is the heel is quite big but not enough of a bother that I would return over. The shaft is comfortable and fit my 17½" calfs perfectly.

These boots are very comfortable; more so than I expected. Although the leather is not as soft as I would have liked, it has grown on me. Definitely would recommend that you give these a try.

I LOVE these boots! I am on my feet all day as a teacher and needed some supportive boots in brown. The Ecco store at my mall went out, and I wasn't sure I could find ones I loved in another brand. Enter Rockport! I've worn them several times over the last month, and they are so cute and comfortable. I somehow missed that the leather was pebbled, but it's still attractive. I get a lot of compliments too! I do wish the bottom were softer, like more of a rubber sole; the soles are hard and make noise as I walk on hard floors. I had read that the arch support was excellent; I have a high arch and would call the support moderate for me. I have big calves (apparently), and these fit my legs perfectly. Great boots!

I have a hard to fit foot, wide, small, high instep with wide calf. These boots fit great the instep (top of the upper foot) is a tiny bit tight but I'm sure the leather will stretch a little. I'm keeping them because they are cute and I can get my hobbit foot in them.

For my 17" calfs, these boots are absolutely perfect! No breaking in, I can walk or stand for hours, and they go with everything. This is the first pair of wide calf boots that I have ever had that are not too tight or too loose. I can even wear them over leggings. I highly recommend them!
