Raisa Riding Boot (Women)

These were beautiful and well made but this brand needs to stop calling things ‘wide calf’! I buy them every year hoping they will fit and they don’t. I am at the smaller end of the plus size spectrum and my calves are not that large and these boots never fit. Nordstrom please find a true plus size leather boot option for us gals with fuller calves! Better yet…. Just do it in house with one of your house brands! It would be a sell out! There is such a hole in the market for high style, quality leather boots in wide calf.

This boot is classic, high quality and comfortable. Unfortunately I chose the wrong size. I'm typically a 7.5 and selected 7.5 Wide width, regular calf size. It's quite large on both the footbed length & width and the calf size is very large too. I'm 5'8" 140lbs with slender/average legs. My calf was swimming in these! Going to try again for 7 wide and 7.5 medium (regular calf width again). Worth the effort as they are exactly what I've been looking for and a staple I'll wear for years.

These pants are really nice looking. They do run narrower than average boots. My big issue with these, and other “narrow calf“ boots is that they only make the calf narrower. Meanwhile, the ankle is just as wide as an average boot. This makes them not proportioned to a normal leg. Unfortunately, these have to go back.
