Something like this?<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/outdoor-research-mens-crocodiles-chili-black?zlfid=111&#038;recoName=zap_pdp_similar#prdInfo" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/outdoor-.....ar#prdInfo</a><br /> OR<br /> <a href="http://www.rei.com/product/838678/rei-havenpass-gaiters" rel="nofollow">http://www.rei.com/product/838.....ss-gaiters</a></p> <p>Not sure what the circumference is on these things, you might have to call and check. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-waterproof-boots#post-821519 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 18:50:50 +0000 Thistle 821519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There has to be something out there! Perhaps someone from Canada will be able to answer. I live in a cold climate, but I am not an outdoorsy person so have never had to shop for this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-waterproof-boots#post-821489 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 17:54:21 +0000 Nebraskim 821489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am doing an adventure cruise in Alaska in June where we will be doing Zodiac landings and kayaking in the ocean. The tour company REQUIRES knee-high waterproof boots or I will not be allowed to do the Zodiacs (they want to prevent hypothermia). </p> <p>Problem: I cannot find anywhere boots with a big enough calf circumference. Bare-skinned I need 18 inches (I have super big calves and cannot ever find fashion boots that fit) and with socks and tucked in pants, would probably need 19 or 20. I wear women's size 10 shoes; men's boots, like women's are proportional in the shaft, so to get this big of a calf circumference, I would need size 15 or 16 men's boots (I wear an 8 in men's).</p> <p> I have looked at every boot on Amazon and Zappos; REI; Cabela's; Gander Mountain. Etc. Most sites list "wide circumference" as being 16 inches.</p> <p> So, am I looking for a non-existent product? Any suggestions? Or should I just resign myself to being unable to do the Zodiac landings (which is actually OK as I am terrified to do this.) Thanks. </p>
