I purchased this boot based on a review from another buyer regarding the calf width.  Although it is advertised as a 15" calf, she stated she has 17" calves and they fit.  I did not find this to be the case, but will take it in to a shoe repair to have an elastic gusset added.

CONS
- I am shorter (5'3") and have 16" calves and these boots only zip half way up.
- Although it looks as if there is an elastic gusset on the side, it is actually a cut piece of leather and doesn't stretch even when the buckle is adjusted at the top.
- Footbed is narrow

PROS
- Beautiful leather
- With a straight seam, a gusset can be added to the back to allow for a wider calf.  Check with local shoe repair on costs!
- Ankle fit is great, not overly large.
- Leather does expand for additional room in footbed.
