Hoping someone might have a recommendation for boots for someone with bigger calves that will give good support in ankle area. I don't have a lot of stability in my right ankle and foot. Older vet rider who wears a 13-14. Thanks for any opinions.

That being said...most boots should accommodate a bigger calf because most are taking into consideration knee braces. I'd try some on...which I know is a problem for some. If you're gonna drop the cash on a good boot, best know that if fits properly.
200+ hours of single track woods riding on my SG12s and still holding up very well.
SG10 also worked great for me.
SG12 offers an add'l adjustment to allow for even more calf room.

AFA ankle support, you want a boot with a slimmer ankle and thick memory foam in the that area. Generally, the higher end models do a better job at this.
Also, some brands have moved production to the far east, and I feel those models have a tendency to break down and pack out quickly so the boot gets sloppy. Very comfortable but much less supportive over time. That would be the Tech 7 and that three letter brand.
You're gonna get lotsssss of advice here, but you can call me and I will help with sizing if you want. PM if so.

At 19.5' the Terrain or Predator models will work, the Dominators will not.
