    Would be a help if you could tell us the size you are after and your budget?

    Hey gorgeous you have teensy calves what are you on about?!!!

    I too have generous calves...too many years cycling and my rich bulgarian heritage

    My issue is finding boots in my small feet size first! Once I get some the right size for my foot then I will have the issue with do-up-ability.

    Try a larger pair, then place "insoles" in, then thick sox. Or is it just an uncommon foot size you have...

    Uncommon? Moi apparently no one brings them in in my size...not enough midget footed riders out there they say. My thing too is I don't want to pay to bring some in that might not fit

    Does your Knee armour go right down your Shin ?? if so maybe remove that, I will give you some Knee only Armour (for free of course) and that might give you a little extra room.
    I can bring it down with me to the VMCC if youre going, or give it to Deano to pass on.
    Ive run out of fucks to give

    Have the same issue Hels, that's why I wear my pants over my boots too, can't fit 'em inside. Seems to be a fairly common problem, maybe boot builders need to make boots of different sizes with different calve sizes also!

    As much as I just HATE to brag, my calves are quite muscular and then when you add leathers on top of that its just a wee bit much for your Joe Average boot.

    I guess I may just have to bite the bullet and race in dririders until I can afford a decent pair.....

    hey chick, try my diadora's on when I see you next for size. They're the race boot ones. They do have BIG calves.......I got whimpy spastic non-existant calves and its a bit of a pain with them cause they are all sloppy like above my ankles.

    They are size 41 (mens size). And they were a good price, cant remember exactly but under $300 and they have worn reallllllllly well, comfy as to ride in,crashed well, and don't even STINK
