Anyone have problems getting their leathers to fit into their boots?

I've got these and while they are great boots, I am having a helluva time getting my leathers to fit into them.

Anything I can do? Anyone ever had boots altered?

I do... My calves are big... and ripped... but I digress. Hard to get the zipper up, but doable.

That's part of my problem. Always had muscular calves from when I was a kid (riding, gymnastics, figure skating, and now running....).

Just wondering if maybe other boots had a bigger top outlet so the leathers fit in better. :shrug:

No to you question...but how do you like those otherwise?

I haven't had that issue with any boots I've owned but did have the issue with a pair of Puma boots I tried on.

If it is necessary, I'd think it would be easier and more cost effective to have your leathers altered rather than your boots.

Go for the Rossi look.

Love the boots. Quality construction and very comfortable. Friend has them too and he crashed hard in them and they held up amazingly well. Very solid ankle protection.

How do they run for sizing? Similar to shoes or other boots? Or to A*'s specifically...?

I had that issue when I had Dainese leathers, but that's because they design their leathers to be worn on the outside of the boots. However, every manufacturer of boots intends for the leather to be inside, so there's basically no way to get protection. You're not wearing Dainese are you?

Sidi boots have adjustable calves. My Teknic leathers have very short legs and arms, which I like because it makes glove and boot fitment easier. Two ideas for ya.

What size do you wear?

I wear a 39 or 40 in street shoes and I'm a 41 in these boots. I probably could've gone for a 40 but they didn't have it and the 41 isn't too loose. I'd say they run a bit small in that respect. In A stars I'm a 42 if that gives you any perspective. :shrug:

Thanks. I have Teknic women's leathers. I have short legs and a long torso so I don't find the legs too short but they are skin tight in the calf area.

40-42 depending on manufacturer.
