Every boot in this collection is built to adjust to your leg, not the other way around. Whether it's a full lace panel, a stretch gusset under a buckle, or an elasticated ankle for easy pull-on, each model below solves calf fit in a slightly different way, and several add a fully waterproof lining for wet yards and winter fields.

How the Adjustable Calf Mechanism Works
Not every boot in this collection adjusts calf width in the same way. The Polar Storm and Andalucia boots use a full-leg lace system: the laces run the height of the boot leg, so you can loosen them over a fuller calf or pull them snug for a narrower leg. The Andalucia adds a rear stretch gusset under the lacing for up to 3.5cm of extra give, plus a rear OPTI zip so you don't have to re-lace the boot every time you put it on.
The Quebec range takes a different approach. Rather than a lace-adjustable calf, these boots use an elasticated ankle, rear pull tab or Opti Zip to make getting the boot on and off easier over a higher instep or wider foot, and the Wide Fit versions are cut with extra room through the leg from the outset.
Waterproof vs Non-Waterproof
The Polar Storm and the full Quebec range use a Wil-Tex waterproof membrane or lining, so they're a sound choice for wet yards, muddy fields and winter turnout. The Andalucia boots are not waterproof; they use a Therma-Tex moisture-wicking lining instead, which is better suited to everyday riding and stable work in drier conditions. If you need a fully waterproof boot, browse our dedicated Waterproof Boots collection alongside the options here.
Best Boots for Wide Calves
If you need extra room through the leg, look at the Andalucia Boots (Standard & Wide Fit, with a lace-adjustable calf and stretch gusset), the Quebec Zip-Up Wool Lined Boots, or the Quebec Waterproof Boots, both cut as Wide Fit. All three give you a wider base fit plus some further adjustment through laces, zips or elastication.
Lining, Comfort and Support
- Polar Storm Waterproof Boots: genuine sheepskin wool lining and footbed, naturally warm and breathable

- Quebec Zip Up Mid Calf and Quebec Waterproof Boots: X-Comfort memory foam insole with a gel heel insert
How Adjustable Long Boots Should Fit
Start with your usual shoe size, then use the calf adjustment to fine-tune the fit around the leg rather than sizing up or down in the foot. On lace boots, loosen the top sections for a fuller calf and keep the ankle snug for support. On the Quebec range, choose the Wide Fit versions if you have a higher instep or wider foot, and expect the elasticated ankle or Opti Zip to do most of the work getting the boot on. If you're unsure which fit suits your leg, our full Long Boots range includes further options, and our team is happy to advise on sizing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these adjustable long boots waterproof?
Some are, some aren't. The Polar Storm Waterproof Boots and the entire Quebec range (Zip-Up Wool Lined, Zip Up Mid Calf, and Quebec Waterproof) use a Wil-Tex waterproof lining. The Andalucia Boots are not waterproof and use a Therma-Tex moisture-wicking lining instead, so they're better suited to drier conditions.
Which boots are best for wide calves?
The Andalucia Boots, Quebec Zip-Up Wool Lined Boots and Quebec Waterproof Boots are all cut as Wide Fit, and each has some further adjustment through lacing, zips or elastication if you need a little extra room.
What's the difference between the Quebec Zip Up Mid Calf Boots and the Quebec Waterproof Boots?
Both use the same Wil-Tex waterproof lining and X-Comfort memory foam insole. The Zip Up Mid Calf Boots use an Opti Zip for quick, struggle-free entry, while the Quebec Waterproof Boots are cut as Wide Fit with a rear pull tab, better suited to a higher instep or wider foot.
How does the lace adjustment on the Andalucia and Polar Storm boots work?
Both use a full-leg lace system running the height of the boot, so you can loosen the laces over a fuller calf or tighten them for a narrower leg. The Andalucia also has a rear stretch gusset for up to 3.5cm of extra give, plus a rear OPTI zip so you don't need to unlace the boot fully each time you wear it.
Can I wear these for everyday wear, not just riding?
Yes. The lace and buckle styling works well for country walks and yard duties beyond the saddle, and the waterproof Quebec and Polar Storm models are a practical choice for dog walking or general wet-weather wear.
Do you offer free delivery and returns?
Yes, we offer free UK delivery and returns on all boots in this collection, so you can try your size and calf fit at home.
