Big calves need to know
Yes you can own a pair.
Years ago, I owned a pair of knock offs in olive green. I loved them but after I had my first child, my calves were too big to wear them again. Fast forward 6 years later and I finally decided to risk it and get a real pair. I went with the adjustable back buckle, thinking if that didn’t work, maybe Huntress.
Key things for those who have never owned Hunter:
If you have big calves, get the adjustable back buckle or go for Huntess. The original side buckle style will be too tight.
If you’re on the short side (I’m 5’5), chances are the boot shaft will hit the back of your legs when you walk or bend down or climb in the car. This is a tad annoying.
Regular socks won’t cut it if you’re wearing them for more than an hour. You’ll start to feel the fold in the back buckled shaft rub your skin raw. Best wear boot socks.
If you have slightly wider feet, feet that may not be wide but certainly are not narrow, you’ll start to wonder why on earth the makers decided on such a tiny ankle opening. This makes them snug but not uncomfortable or too difficult to remove, though. Just not super easy to slide off either.
But you’ll love them. They are ridiculously cute with so many outfits and you’ll never have to worry about the weather on the way to work.
Side note: Navy is a really nice change—not pirate black but still on the muted side and goes with everything.
