"Anyone struggling with finding rain boots which fit your calves will understand my title exclamation. I'm 5'7" with 14" runner calves. I have been searching for rain boots which fit my calves for several months. Most times, the boots would just barely fit over my calves like a second skin, although the description advertised a 14" calf circumference. Without exaggeration, I purchased at least 5 pairs of boots from DSW, Zappos, and Overstock (including brands: Hunter, Kamik, Merrell, and others). None of which fit around my calves - I was beginning to get a complex.
I had pretty much given up and was going to buy some at my local gardening store, when I saw these Cute polka dotted Chooka boots. The description noted a 15" calf circumference, so I thought I would give it one more try. (Especially if they didn't work out I could drive them to my local DSW to return. Unlike Overstock which charged me $17 in shipping to return - boots are heavy.)
Anyway, I received them today, and somewhat pessimistically pulled them on. They fit! With room to spare for tucking pants in as well. They're not as tall as some boots I had previously tried on, which probably helped with the fit. The top of the boot stops right about mid-calf.
I can't say anything about the comfort or warmth, since I only just received them today, and it's sunny and 95 degrees outside. But the fit is accurate (size 7) and I can wear thick socks inside the boot. The polka dot design is darling too! There's a pull strap on the back of the boot to help pull the boots on, and an adjustable buckle and art on e calf if it happens to be too tight as shipped. But I don't think you'll need it :)"
