That's all the help I have.

How big are your calves? If you can get the measurement, I can help! *lots of experience here*

i tried to do it at work, lol. i think it's 17. but the most recent boots i purchased, online, were 15 and they 'almost' fit. they weren't riding boots.

okay cool, price range?

[sarack]

under 200.

My calves are about 16.5", so here are some options and brands that I have worked for me.

My two recent splurges were a pair of Stuart Weitzmans (http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/stuart-weitzman-5050-over-the-knee-boot/2905315) and the Frye Veronica Slouch (http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/frye-veronica-slouch-wide-calf-boot/3125767). Both look awesome, but are above the $200 price point.

I have a pair of brown Corso Como's that I love, these look similar: shop.nordstrom.com/s/corso-como-samual-boot-nordstrom-exclusive/3285228

The Intyce boots are great, love mine: shop.nordstrom.com/s/steven-by-steve-madden-intyce-boot/2956230 (I have the cognac)

Cole Haan has some good options and when on sale, they're under $200: shop.nordstrom.com/S/cole-haan-air-whitley-boot/3175980

Naturalizer worked for me even when my calves were bigger (18 inches): www.zappos.com/product/8019354/color/369591

I've never been able to find boots that fit my small feet and large calves. My step-sister's dad owns a shoe place and she takes her boots into him and has him add stretchy panels to make them work. I think I might try that.

this is pretty awesome. how much?

[sarack]

emy- how tight do the sm ones fit?? do they have them in store? i should go try them on. i used that link to the style&beauty post and ordered a pair off one of the websites... while not rated highly, i bought the ones i thought were most my style.. which happen to look VERy similar to the link you posted. now i'm thinking sm would have been the better choice.

I'd say I probably have another inch or so of room for them, so they should work for you. They did punch an extra hole for me so I could fasten the buckle.
