The Riggs is a just-under-the-knee leather boot with a square toe and a 1.75-inch heel, built specifically for wider calves. The shaft circumference runs about 15.2 inches at size 6 up to about 17 inches at size 10, so the fit scales with the shoe size rather than coming in one fixed width. It suits shoppers who want a sleek tall boot that actually closes over a fuller calf. Against standard-calf tall boots, the extra room is the main draw; the trade-off is a synthetic lining, sock and sole under a leather upper, which is a step below all-leather rivals. Owners rate it well overall, and the recurring advice is to size up a half if you are between sizes.
