"Most of the reviews I read said how narrow these boots were and how they were ideal for slim calves. I ordered them because I loved them and hoped the elastic would make a difference, but assumed that they would not fit once I got them since I have wider calves. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they slid right on without any difficulty! The details say the calf circumference is about 13", mine measures around 14" and the elastic more than accommodates for the difference. These boots are great!"
