I have been looking for Cowgirl boots for a long time. Unfortunately vendors of Cowgirl boots rarely add the shaft circumference of the boot. The stores I called (8 to be exact) were not able to recommend a large shaft, normal foot boot. I have 14 inch muscular calves, but a narrow foot. I had to resort to calling a manufacturer of Cowboy boots and spoke with the catalog editor, who said the company does include measurements for the men's boots, but not the women's, huh!? Of course I reminded her of the millions of women's other styles of boots online do include shaft measurements and the manufacturer is missing out of sales to women who rely on a detailed description of what they are buying. These boots fit me perfectly without being snug on my calves and extra room in the shaft. This wider calf boot makes my calves look smaller because of the wider opening of the shaft,Yay!!!Good productI"ve got wide feet and a wide calf, and this boot fit both! I have the Laredo Access in black as well (but it has a lower heel) and that pair took a while to break in, this brown pair fit the toe box even better and didn't need the same (painful) break in period. My personal preference is the heel is a little bit too high on this pair and causes pain in my "bad foot" if worn for too long. Still love them though!This is probably obvious from the heel height, but these are more for a night out or shorter even as opposed to a long day of walking.I needed a pair of brown boots to match my derby, which turned out to match perfectly! Not only do the boots look even better in person, they are very comfortable and I’m just in love with them!I love boots, but my biggest problem is finding boots that fit my rather large calfs. This pair did more than that, they even had a bit more room to move around. Despite the shaft of the boot being looser than I was expecting, something I am happy about, the base of the boot fits perfectly. I can wear a wide shoe but I find with most boots a 9.5 does the trick and I was right. Like all cowboy boots the foot is a bit stiff but with time it will become more flexible, for now I wont wear this all day long with out having a change of shoes. But soon I will be wearing them all the time!these boots were too cute online, but unfortunatly they look ridiculously huge on my legs. i dont understand why they are so large in the calfs! i've never bought Laredo boot brand before, and im not sure i will do so again. they should have a model wearing the boots in one of the pictures. They are definately not for smaller girls! the seller should say so in description. totally dissapointed with my order!I have been searching for over a year for a boot that would fit my 18inch calves. I’ve looked online and I’ve been to multiple boot stores and none of them had extended calf boots or a shaft bigger than 14in. Praise Jesus for these boots!!! Sooo cute great for bigger calves!!!These boots are Beautiful and fit perfectly around my calves!!! But they are super uncomfortable, no support at all, no cushion on the foot bed, no arch support! The heel forces your foot forward and pushes your toes into the front narrow part of the boot causing pain to your toes! Ouch!! I wish I could return them ? my feet hurt so bad when I wore these.Perfect fit high quality boots.
