Guest Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Help! I am an ex-gymnast/athlete and therefore have rather large calves and am unable to find ANY boots that are mid-calf and will go over my new leathers (total width including leathers 19")! Dilemma If I go for the short ankle ones I look like a right lemon and am therefore looking for mid-calf ones. I have been to various bike shops and have been unable to find any that will close over my leathers. Sidi's have been suggested but I have tried on various ones and none will fit. Any other suggestions would be most appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Help! I am an ex-gymnast/athlete and therefore have rather large calves. scrap that your a woman boots aren't made to fit women's legs for some reason! majority of women have exactly the same problem and find it really hard to find boots that fitthere is a company called altberg who do made to measure but they arent cheap!

Guest Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Thanks so much for your advice everyone; will let ya know which ones fit! If all else fails then expanding the zip sound a good idea! One of us should go into business and solve this ghastly problem that us girlies have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
