Overshoes - Tight on Calves

Does anybody else have the same problem? Get the right size overshoes for your feet but then the things are v tight on the calves making getting the zip to do up properly difficult?

I presume you don't want to go much bigger because you do need them to be pretty tight at the calf.

    Started off with the standard Endura ones (which were rubbish and the zip broke within 10 uses) so just got some Pro ones and tried them and they were v tight too. Have re-ordered a couple of sizes up in fact.

    Pro IME are made for people with sparrow-legs. Got some Castelli that are pull-on with no zip - tight fit on the shoe but have an open top at the back with a short piece of velcro so don't restrict the ankle at all.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
