I have wanted a pair of country boots for ages but struggle to find some wide enough for my calves, I measured my calf and the Katy Lake Boots measurements were wider than my calf so I was bought them as a birthday present. However, they don't fit. Super tight around my calf, to the point where I can't get my left foot into the boot.
Any suggestions of wide boots, I am losing weight at the moment, so calves may slim off, but it is more genetic chunkyness than podge! :p
THANK YOU! :D
 
i have the same problem i bought some extra extra wide riding boots from toggi, they do not fit my calves i must have the same size legs as the incredible hulk as have tried loads on and have found none that fit!!:rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
I've only just got a pair of wellies to fit after like 4 years, I've got hugeeee calfs and unfortunatly when I'm exercising and riding lots, they only get bigger so if anyone finds any PM me :D
 
Thank you! Will look into some of those! :D

Ha, murphysmum123! :D Nothing wrong with some hulk calves! You need those muscles for riding! :p Mine are 16" around, so not that big, just bigger than most boot widths.
 
You need the Ariat Grasmeres in the full/wide fitting. There's no chance you wouldn't be able to get into them as they are very generous with the laces loose, then you can pull the laces in to fit your calf. If you lose weight it's not an issue, just pull the laces in some more!
 
I take a mountain horse wide (for reference) and I have the toggi columbus from mole valley - very generous - I can get my jeans in them and thick socks ! they look much much nicer on and mine come to welly height,
 
Go mad, buy a pair of Dubarry extra fit. I have massive calves and they fit so well, wear them constantly. They have never rubbed either, luv em!
 
Look at Kanyon boots; I have the Oak wide and they're brilliant. The firm are very helpful and obliging too, a pleasure to deal with. I take a 5 but could not get them on past my ankle, told them and they sent a 6 out instead with no kwibbles (which fit well, just need a thick sock to take up the extra bit of foot and no, even in summer, that does not make my feet hot, they seem to be perfect!) http://www.kanyonoutdoor.com/
 
Echo Dubarrys!

I'm a chunky monkey and I can fit a pair of jeans, long socks AND a pair of the boot liners on underneath!

I'll go find a pic of me wearing them so you can see just what I mean.

Plus they last FOREVER if you look after them and you get a warantee with them!

*edit*
excuse drunken state - it was the Highland!

You can see from there I have big legs, and they fit brilliant. There was still room for another pair of 2 socks in there when I was wearing shorts easy. Best £300 you will speand honestly.

Ditto fuller fillers - I certainly haven't had a pair fall apart and they get some tough usage. For "posh" Ariat Grassmere's wide fitting is fine - but they only do it in the brown!
 
I had the first lot of fuller fillies country boots, the ones that were discontinued, they then altered the second version to have a better sole
 
I don't have country boots but for riding I have mountain horse wide (Rimfrost rider II), and i have WIDE calves... genetic and a bit of my own eating have contributed lol. Got mine for about £90, after spending many years in half chaps and ugly wellies longingly eyeing up the nice long boots everyone else was wearing!

I have a pair of the Fuller Fillies ones and I can even get my jeans inside the boots :) they are so comfortable that I pretty much live in them

Link to the ones I have >>> http://www.fuller-fillies.co.uk/accessories/new-country-boot.html
 
Another for the kanyon boots. My daughter and I both have a pair and they get some abuse. I got them for Rachel as she's only a size 1 and they were the only company that did them so small! So I got a pair and I have chunky legs. I was expecting them to feel really cheap and rubbish like other cheaper country boots but they are really good quality.
 
Without getting too personal, can I asked generally what size (in inches) are everyones calves?

I have big calves (legs in general as I'm a pear shape). Some boots say they are wide fitting but only go up to about 16".

I have fuller fillies chaps and gaiters but for long boots I have the Tuffa Suffolk boots. They are great and adjustable to a degree.
 
I am 5ft 4 and the Toggi are perfect and mountain horse standard length for riding in are great although for first couple weeks MH did dig into back of knee until they dropped.
