A LOT depends on how a) long your lower legs are and b) how how brand X rides on your lower leg.  Rich's lower leg is fairly short and his calves are BIG.  Even with the Alpinestar Vectors, he tapes them closed at the top.

Note on Sidi's. The force can be adjusted larger in the calf area (more than the "adjustable calf" "panel) if they are size 10 or larger. You'll pick-up another 1/4 inch or so.  My test was based on size 10's (44?) and there was enough room.  Pokie on the other-hand has smaller legs, but has a hard time with one of his boots closing all the way with Asterisk braces.  But, he wears  a size 9 (limited adjustment).  If you have a "round" calf that rides high on your lower leg, you are better off. If it's large or "round" on a shorter leg, it's going to be tough to find any boot that'll work.

Short Story; the only way to know is to try them at a shop.

FYI; I can BARELY get Tech 8's to "overlap" ie; close completely down the sides, although there seems to be plenty of room as far as the buckle (strap) goes.
