All my life I have wanted no....wait...lusted...to wear a pair of high zip up leather boots with a skirt or jeans.
Sadly my enormous calfs stood between me and my dream.
I write now triumphant from my kitchen table as I sit here in summer shorts and high leather boots which fit like a glove full of butter.
My husband will come home and think I have lost my mind (we are in a heat wave)
While these boots are still wide calf that was still a joke before as my legs measured in at 22+ inches around.
I feel like crying
(but first I have to order a second pair!!!!)
And the price was obscenely low!
Soooo happy!

I got the boots on Ebay from this seller for 12.50
I find (for me) the 19.5 inch calf is perfect although in the leather I also bought a pair that had a little smaller calf and I am sure they will be fine.
Keep your eyes peeled because this seller will and has gotten more.
I purchased a brown pair and another black pair in by a different maker.
Measure your calf and see where you stand.
You may be able to do the 16 inch calf .
I am so petite I tend to carry weight in my legs and arms to the extreme so a person of regular height should get away with an X large calf at 16" as opposed to theXXL 19-19.5 inch calf.
Good Luck
