Racing boots for large calves

OK i have the biggest claves in the world, when i buy any kind of boots, the claves is the only thing i look at, if it fits the claves i buy them no matter how the rest fits or looks...

about 5 years ago I bought Teknic Violators because i asked the same question on this forum and 2-3 guys recommended the Violators.. well mine are cooked now and i need a new pair... Violators are discontinued (i looked)...

What is the new go-to boot for large calves now?

 

The Hillary's are pretty good.

 

got a mate who also has Mchuge calves, he uses arlen-ness boots, which apparently are made by berick, but berick shit is made for different target markets so may not fit the same.

cheers.joe.

 

Try the new Sidi Mag-1 boots. They seem to be ridiculously adjustable. Check the video on the STG site.

 

My dad does too (working on ladders all his life). He's always gone with Gaerne boots and had his suit opened up at the calves.

 

I have a friend with the same problem. He got a pair of SIDIs. They have an expandable calf area. I think the model was vertigo or something.

 

I checked them out, the site says up to 15inch, mesured mine and measuring surper tight i get 17 inch... i'm a freak

 

What I wouldn't give for svelte 17" calves (mine are 18" ). I'll be interested in whatever comes of this thread myself. My Violators are still usable but have definitely seen better days.

Part of the problem I guess is exactly how far up the calf must one measure? And then adding room for the leathers, assuming they go inside the boot which most do.

 

they said to mesure 11.5 inches from the base of the heel...

Like i said my 17 was with the tape tight around and on my bare leg... i need more like 20 to fit my leathers in... my violators needed duct tape help the last 2 seasons...

 

Forma and Gaerne

 

what about the sidi vortice?? my buddy uses them, he's a bigger guy with some hocks down there

 

what size boot do you wear?

 

i wear 10.5 / 11 so 45 depending on the model...

 

Sheik's calve is bigger than your thigh, ask him what he wears

 

I measured exactly 11.5" and got 17.25" calf diameter. I'll check out some of the suggestions. Birthday's coming up and I could dig getting some new boots to model in my birthday suit...

 

I have no idea where to begin looking for these. Google turns up fashion stuff for "Hillary Boots", and Googling "Hillary Motorcycle Boots" results in dozens of pages of ads for every other brand except Hillary. If you have a source in mind I'd be interested in checking them out.

 

My calves measure 18" and Sidi Vertigos fit nicely with some adjustment left. Size 46 and 11.5. I also have (2) pairs of Oxtars that fit great.

 

Garne for sure!

 

Okay, there have been two recommendations for Garne. I have yet to find any sizing information about the calf adjustment on the Garne. Is this the Garne boot you're talking about?
