Tall boots a bit gappy at the top?

[WillowHorse]

I finally found a pair of tall boots to fit my ankles and calves, but now I'm finding they are a little gappy at the top.

They are brand new so they haven't dropped yet, but I'm just worried that because they are a little bit gappy at the top they are going to look awful :cry:

Once I've worn them for a while and they are broken in, do you think they might be ok once they drop a little? I'm just worried because I don't have the cash to take them in in to the cobbler and get them fixed.

TIA!

How gappy is gappy? An extra 1/4"? 2"? The very top of my boots are bigger than I'd like, but that's what I needed to get ones that went around my huge calves. But you can't tell from more than a few inches away.
