Anyone have a hard time fitting boots that fit?

I usually don't have trouble fitting boots that fit. I do however, have trouble finding boots that fit my calves and I am not particularly muscular in this area compared to many cyclists.

Yup, fashion boots are definitely for the skinny mini spindly legged I-do-not-exercise-and-eat-nothing types.

I did find a pair of Roberto Viannis that have an elasticized insert on the inner calf area. These fit and they are super sexy.

I have a friend who isn't overweight, but who has a horrible time finding boots that fit her calves. She just has large calves. (She is a walker -- walks at least a couple of miles a day -- but she had this prob when she was a teenager, too.)

So it's not just cyclists.

If you haven't already -- check out http://zappos.com.

If you're in the U.S. you can find boots for people with large calves (or other issues you might have) and the best part is, they don't charge shipping -- either way! I bought a pair of boots from them and ordered three pair before I found the right fit. Didn't cost me a penny extra.

Forgot to say -- they're prices are usually the best, too.
