Misleading sizes

I originally ordered a size 7 and it is important to note that I am perfectly a size 7 (I buy 7.5 in running shoes since my feet swell a little when I run) these size 7 boots were too big even with wool socks on. I love the way they looked so I returned them for a 6.5 the foot fit perfectly, but the calf I could not zip easily, I finally was able to zip them but they were painfully tight on my calves. Yet, I had extra room in the calf on the size 7. I measured my calf with my jeans on and they are 14.5 inches. These boots claim to be 16-inch circumference but they aren't. I am returning them again and exchanging for another color this time, fingers crossed they fit. I really do like the look of these boots.
