According to Nordstrom's site, the circumference is about 15".

Further searching reveals the "Huntress" which has a wider calf circumference at 16.5":

the shorter shaft hunters fit me (my calf size is 18). for larger calf styles I think Evans and Simply Be have some

I have 16" calves and the "Huntress" wide calf style in an 8 fits snugly at the top... But I'm also very short (5'), so my calves get wider lower than some other folks'.

I just measured the shaft height on Huntress from the inside of the heel, and it's 13". So if your calves are 16" circumference 13" up from the floor, it could work. Hope that helps.

What's your shoe size?

You might try sizing up. I have one pair of knee-high boots in a size 11 (mistake) and size 13, and the shaft of the 11's just barely zips up, but the shaft of the 13's is almost comically loose. That seems to fit my general observation- shafts are wider in the larger shoe sizes.

You can try padding the boots with athletic inserts to make the fit around your foot more snug.

They're not the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, but Target's rainboots (at least the ones with the adjustable strap at the top) fit my 20" calves just fine. And there are lots and lots of pretty patterns.

ETA: I should probably note, though, that I wear an 11 or a 12, so they might not be so accommodating at smaller sizes.
