You need to send to try to send them back first.
If not, don't cut them, they will be ruined and then no one will want them. If all else fails take them to a resale shop
Stretching shoes is not good, especially leather, it just makes the material flimsy and cheap looking.

Two things you can do. If they are soft, thin leather you can scrunch them down so that they stay below the calf. If they are thicker leather or they zipper up you can take them to a leather repair shop in your area and they can stretch the calf area. The leather will only stretch a little bit so if they are way too tight it will not work. There are a bunch of boots out there in wide calf.
Here are some on zappos:

Depends on how much they don't fit by and what they are made out of. Check with the retailer where you bought them. But if they are leather, you can stretch them pretty easily with any object the size of your calves.

Send them back. I deal with a catalogue called Shoe Tailor who sell wider boots. If you try cutting them they will just be ruined and you will have wasted your money.

see how much is missing to close them. if it is a small number go to a cobbler.
else return the boots. try www.duoboots.com

i say try to cute them dow so that they just go around your ankles and surround the cut off with a cloth... like dark brown in color or something that would match... i think that that would look really cute

just stretch out your calves every morning, not only does this make them stronger but it also makes them slimmer.
