Advice on Wide calf Boots

[Guest]

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.

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 fit

there is a company called altberg who do made to measure but they arent cheap!

Have you tried alpinestars Stella range they're female specific and have a wider calf

sidis work for me , but you will need to adjust them to the widest fit.

I got the zip moved about an inch on mine, local saddler guy did it, cost about £10, alpine stars MX5 plus

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!
