Have you tried the Wide Boot Company on Facebook? They do made to measure but not ridiculous prices.

Buy a Pelaton. Im a bloke with wide calves but I'm 5'7 so struggled finding the right combination boot to fit. Since cycling my a**s off on the Pelaton i have slimmed my calves down (about the only thing that has slimmed down, lol!) and got into a standard width boot for the first time in my life which im exceptionally happy about

Extra large leather gaiters: £100 on the expensive end.
Peloton: Starting at £1,750
You have a very generous definition of 'affordable'.

Hahaa yes i see what you mean (my bike is the newest version so actually 2k+ btw) I think what i meant was, to get fit and do exercises that slim the leg. I never thought my calf would slim down enough to get into a standard boot but it seems cycling like a madman whilst some loony American talks and pulls faces at you for encouragement via a screen has certainly worked for me

My legs are solid muscle Thankyou very much @Scotsbadboy, since I cycle on an actual moving bike everywhere and not some daft stationary one ?. However they are still short and there is such thing as a stretching machine ?

I also have short wide legs and recently bought some long boots from "fuller fillies" that were just under £200
