Is this boot really wide calf?

Yes. The shaft measures 17 3/8 to 20 1/4 inches around, based on a size 7, and grows about 1/2 inch per full size up. That covers calves most tall boots don't.

How do I get the right fit?

Measure your calf at its widest point and compare it to the shaft circumference for your size. The back lace lets you tighten the shaft, but it can't add room.

Is the upper real leather?

No. It is a leather-like synthetic upper, which is why owners describe it as looking and feeling synthetic.

What is the heel height and shaft height?

The heel is 1 ¼ inches and the shaft is 16½ inches tall, measured on a size 7.

How does it compare with other wide-calf boots?

Its edge is the combination of a full side zip and an adjustable back lace, plus three widths. Rivals at similar quality often offer only one calf width and no lace adjustment.

What sizes does it come in?

Full and half sizes 7 to 11 and 12, in M, W and WW widths.
