Great Fit! Calf isn't extra large for a size 11

" I have tried on boots in stores and ordered two pairs online and they all seem to swim around my calves. I am 5'9", 132lb, and have about a 14.5" calf circumference. When I read a review from someone that bought these in a 10 and they mentioned that the calf was 15", I was hopeful that the 11 would be close and it is. There is only about a finger width of room around my calf and the measurement is 15". I also decided if I didn't want the extra room I could even add a thin leg warmer and fold it down over the top of the boot for a snugger look. I got the idea from a pair of sweater top boots I saw a few years ago at DSW that I wish I had the money at the time to buy. Thought I would share that idea for those of you with the same boot problems. These boots have a slight cushion and they do feel a little stiff around the ankles, but I expect that to break down after a few days of wearing them as they are real leather. The distressed look is much more distressed in person as some of the other reviewers mentioned, but I don't mind as I only plan to wear them with jeans. "
