I suffer exactly the same problem buddy! I find oxtar/TCX boots are really comfie, good price and last well as well. I get through one pair every 2 years. and i wear them permanatley throughout the day at work etc etc.  :icon_thumright:

another vote for Oxtar/TCS, same as I have big calves and still wear leathers inside boot, also a decent width fitting for the foot

Alpinestars Supertech R's are bloody brilliant and there is an adjustable (ratchet) type closure on the calf.

I have the same problem with boots cos I have big claves as well.

My last boots were XPD's - my current boots are TCX, they make 'em big enough :-)

A/stars and Sidi's dont even go close to fastening up even with the adjusters opened up .......

I have to agree with Charlie, i have a pair of SMX plus boots and although a good boot they are an absolute bitch to get the zip up so the velcro can attach. I near gave myself a nose bleed with exertion trying to do the zip up last time.

I dont have particularly large calves but my Oxtar/TCX boots certainly have more room in that area than my old Alpinestars......Just go and try loads of pairs with your leathers on. Definately recommend Oxtar /TCX for comfort ,wear & quality. Good luck :icon_thumright:
