I was so excited when my boots were delivered this morning and even more excited when I opened the box. I ordered the Brown in size 6. I love them they were just what I was looking for! Of course I tried them on instantly, only to my dismay I couldn't get them over my calf. I have kinda of muscular calves, not obscenely muscular, but I guess slightly more than an average person. Maybe if I had bigger feet and needed a bigger size there would have been more room up top. Or maybe if the zipper when all the way up the side instead of stopping 2/3 of way up I could have wiggled them in... I wish because I would love to keep these. Sadly, returning them and continuing my search for perfect riding boots.
