text: Be warned- &#34;Extended calf&#34; does not equal &#34;Wide Calf&#34;!<br /><br />I just received these boots and they are stunning- the redwood is such an elegant color, and the construction is amazing. They fit me perfectly, snug on the calf and no excessive ankle bunching like what happens in many riding boots I have tried on. I will wear these for years and years- they will be swiftly incorporated into my winter uniform of boots, skinny jeans, and Aran sweaters.<br /><br />That being said, I am the perfect strange leg size for these boots- I have 'athletic calves' that are larger than usual, but not quite 'wide'. My calves are 15-15 1/2&#34;, so many regular boot styles are too slim, but'wide calf' styles are generally 16 1/2-17 1/2&#34; in circumference and I swim in them. These boots fall right in that in-between gap, and I love them. But anyone who is looking for a true wide calf will be frustrated by these.
