DMs and chunky calves

[InglouriousBasterd]

I’m contemplating trying Doc Martens for the first time since I was at school

I have ridiculously chunky / muscular calves - will they go around my ankle / calf region OK? I really don’t want them to dig in, which is a problem I have with most boots.

I'm short and not particularly svelte, so I wear my DMs not laced right up using all the holes. I leave the top 2 holes unlaced, which gives my calves a bit more room for movement and comfort.

Thanks Jane, I wondered if that could be an option! Years of playing hockey have not served the calves well...!
