My problem is that they're all too long.  I have large calves (muscular,
thank you) and need a medium, but I'm only 5'1" and they tend to cut into
the back of my knee.  I'd also like to find a pair for my 9 year old
daughter but haven't seen any children's size in catalogs....but I know
they're out there because I got a TINY pair that would fit a 3 year old
child at a tack sale.

Just a bit of advice.  I discovered that by taking a wire brush (the kind
you use to remove paint from metal) to the leather that's creased I could
make it soft again....BUT I got careless and destroyed some of the
stitching.  Keep it away from the stitching if you try this.
