After some middle earth dwarf genetics and calf surgeries I am left with LARGE calves. I have tech 1s but I can’t even get them to close, much less strap. Anyone have a boot idea that allows extremely large calves? Thanks!

If you have slim kneebraces you can get away with SG10 / SG11, they have a little bit more
room if you have wide feet too.
If you have big knee braces that go down in the boot you need the SG12.
They have 3 settings on the upper part for adjustment.
If you have wide feet and big calves gaerne is the only way
There are two models that have adjustable shinplates, to specifically address your issue. On Gaerne SG-12s and Sidi Crossfires, you can relocate the front shinplate to actually INCREASE the calf circumference. This is better than using along
Example of the SG-12:
The Gaerne SG-10 has a different system to accomplish the same thing, you can relocate the upper buckles. Does not actually make the boot larger though. Look here:
Of course there are a lot of models that have longer straps. But that does not really increase the circumference of the boot and sometimes getting the velcro to close is an issue.
Hope that helps.

Strange everyone going SG-12's instead of 10's because I think my SG-10's have quite a bit more room than my SG-12's,
