My calves are about 19-3/4" and these boots fit pretty tight around my calf, but they do fit with skinny jeans. There were no extra wide calf boots within my budget (and size) so I took a chance with these and I am keeping them! There are very few boots it seems that run up to an 11 or 12 with a wide calf (that stay in stock for more than two days). I typically wear an 11 wide in Skechers, a 12 wide in Asics, and a 12 in Nike. Depending on the shape of the toe area (and what it's lined with/feels like) really affects what size shoe I wear. I bought an 11 regular in these boots and they fit reasonably well. These were a little close in the toe, but the material is smooth and didn't bother me and doesn't force me to squish my toes in. There is pretty much no arch support in these babies, but I bought them to look cute in and I've worn far more uncomfortable shoes. Very happy with these and hope they last a couple seasons!

I ordered these in black and a full size higher than my norm because I needed to wear them right away and didn’t have time to exchange them if they did not fit. Very comfortable but not big at all considering I ordered a bigger size. The leather is a duller, less polished look but still cute. Just depends on what you’re looking for. Great price for a great boot!

I got wide width because I was afraid regular would be too tight with think winter socks. I should have stuck to a medium. I have a little bit of slipping because they are too wide. The calf fit my giant "place kicker" calf great and even with a little slipping, they're very comfortable.

Lifestride, you've done it again! I lOVE these boots! The color, the style, the water-proofness! There was no "breaking in" period, right out of the box and onto a 15,000 step event. Without a misstep! Get this boot if your calves are just a bit more athletic than the rest of your leg. Fits like a charm!

These were true to size, however the leather was stiff and though they have a wide calf, the leather folded in a bit below the calf which was uncomfortable. If my calves were not as large I think they probably would have fit well.

When they say ‘wide calf’, they’re not kidding. The calf is HUGE. Returning them for that reason.

I have quite large calves (just under 17in) and have a hard time finding boots that fit. These are so great that I bought in two colors! Comfortable, works for a casual or dressy look, and doesn’t emphasize the size of my calves in the way that a lot of “wide calf” boots do. Highly recommend.

They are comfy and roomy around the calves. I have larger calves and there's plenty of room to wear them over skinny jeans. The color isn't quite as nice in person and the knit part in the back came unravelled a little but I was able to just tuck it in. Not sure these would last more than one season but the price isn't bad.

Beautiful leather boots! Love the style and fit. I have 16in calves and there is plenty of room for thick winter socks and knee warmers. Very expensive looking boots. Wish different colors were available at the time.

I'm so sad I couldn't keep this boot. It appears well made. This is marketed as a wide-calf boot. I could not zip more than 2 inches above my ankle. So I don't think the calves are all that wide. However, the foot portion feels a full size larger than marked. I normally wear 6 or 6.5. I ordered 6.5. The boot was enormous - like an 8.

I love these shoes. I have a hard time with shoe comfort so these felt great. The wide calf was perfect and they were super comfortable. I'm on my feet alot of the day so definitely a plus.

I ordered with width and wide calf shaft because I was blessed with really wide calves . These boots were true to size all around . I even have room to put insoles in as I have plantar fasciitis !!

These feel expensive. Every other pair of boots I've ever owned fell apart within 6 months; the sole would come apart from the rest of the shoe. I've only had these a short while, but I'm hopeful that won't happen to these boots. They fit around my large calve and accommodate my wide feet, too!

These were really good boots for the price. I ordered a 9.5 W because that was what they had in stock. Unfortunately, I needed a 10W. I'm kind of disappointed since the other boots I ordered are three times the price

These boots are AWESOME!! I really like the look; they've done a great job with the faux leather, and the elastic piece running down the back of the calf area has some weaving/style to it - it's not just a piece of elastic. It also felt very comfortable immediately. The reason I have to get rid of these is that the wide calf is VERRRY wide; it would be perfect for a larger body size not just a large calf muscle person. I immediately ordered these in the regular calf size - that's how much I love them!

Almost fits my calf size. Comfortable but I need another inch and a half to zip all the way up.

They are understated riding boots. Wide calf is sized as listed- I'm have been looking for boots that show gap from calf to boot- they give me a bit of that. The look and feel are not leather like up close but who gets close ?

These look great quality for the price. The leather effect is matte and has a nice texture to it. I hope that they breathe well and don’t make me feel sweaty as they are not real leather. I got regular width and they feel a little narrow but not tight. The calf width is wide and they feel comfortable. The knitted area does not stretch as much as elastic would, but this is not an issue for me. Overall a great fitting and looking boot for a great price. I’ll certainly keep this brand in mind for future purchases
