Hi all,
This is my 2nd attempt at buying TB boots. My 1st experience was the Patterson boots - they would not zip up around my fat, blobby 14 inch calves (maybe I measured them wrong because they look like they should be bigger than 14 in). Anyway, right now I'm looking at the Kiernan vs the Bristol riding boots. Both are around 14 -14.45 inches in the calves but the Bristol is supposed to have a little more stretch (according to the website). I kinda like the Kiernan a little more but really want to just buy what would fit foremost. I also looked up the calf measurement for the old Patterson boot and it's actually 15 3/4 or so.... so if I couldn't get the Patterson to fit, should I just give up on the current 2 styles and not obsess anymore about owning TB boots since they will never fit me? Anyone own these styles who may be able to shed some light on this for me? Many many thanks in advance!
