"I have wanted riding boots for months. Love them! I have 15 inch calves, and I wore wear thick corduroy leggings and still put my hand inside. I got the Tan in a 9.5, and while it felt slightly narrow on my foot at first, I think that's the style perhaps. Because it's very comfortable. The calf circumference is definitely not 14 inches, more like 16 at least. Beautiful boot that looks great. I thought it was a little darker than what I wanted at first, but then I wore them out and the color is great. Nice chocolate brown with reddish undertones. You will get compliments."
