I work on a farm in muddy conditions some days and so I wanted a comfortable pair of rubber boots to wear for at least 8 hours but I never understand why if you're wearing rubber boots you're probably in wet conditions so you are most likely going to tuck your jeans into them so you need a wider calf area. I can never find a pair of boots That are wide enough for me to tuck my jeans ( Not leggings) into. I don't have that big of legs either. I thought that ariat being a  country person brand would have this figured out
