This boot is definitely not a wide calf and I could barely get it half way up my leg.  Plus the boot itself looks very cheaply made.  I had read this in other reviews and after trying on so many boots I was just hoping for this one to fit and looked past the other negative reviews.  Even if my calf had fit into this boot, I would not have kept it.  Try the Nine West Shiza Boot if you are looking for a good wide calf boot.  I've only worn it a few times, but so far so good.
