Calling all ladies with short wide calves!

I ride in mountain horse sportive high riders wide fitting with the heel risers, can JUST get them on but they are 3years old now and still in great condition plus they are so comfy. I look after them really well, I don't even tack up in them, they are the last thing I put on before riding and the first thing to take off once I'm off, well after the saddle and bridle of course!
 
I have Ariat boots and gaiters which are great, but I'd love some long boots, glad to see some recommendations on here! I've been looking at those ones that are like padded up the leg with velcro straps all the way up, look like they'd fit but they're more of a yard boot!
 
I searched for industrial sized calf boots for ages and tried many many different brands, I ended up with Ariat Grasmere boots they are so adjustable and comfy I would definitely recommend them.
 
I ride in Mountain Horse - they are brilliant boots and come in a wide calf, worth every penny.
I have also just been given a pair of Ariat Windermere, wide calf, and they are SO comfortable.

Good luck in your search.
 
My daughter and I are the same so we ride in Mountain Horse. Ebay often have 2nd hand ones if they're too expensive new.
 
I think I've got my heart set on a pair of mountain horse ones, I like the fact they zip up rather than pulling on.

My birthday is in January so going to see if OH will let me get a new pair as a joint Xmas and bday present! I think the short wide ones in a 5 may be difficult to come by second hand but I will keep looking. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Ooo that's good to know, they could be contender then if I can find some cheap or 2nd hand ones! When you say you have short calves...just how short are they?!! Sorry that sounds a bit sinister haha! :D

haha it's fine not sure as can't find a tape measure but have always struggled with too tall boots :( My ariat chaps are medium short (stretchy) and are only just short enough, they used to be too tall until they wore in and slipped down a bit if that helps!
 
With almost 17" calves that are short and size 3 feet I currently wear Fuller Fillies boots with lots of socks, which are great but its nice to see there are other options out there.
