I bought these in a dark brown around February because I'd been looking for a casual long boot for a looonng time. I felt this style of boot was kind of casual and timeless, and I liked that it was 1 inch heel instead of 2 or 3 inches high like some other clunky boots.
These boots are really cute, especially when you wear them over your jeans. Let me tell you though - I don't know if I have thick calves, but if you're looking for a boot where you can wear it over your jeans, look for another boot that has a wider calf area. This boot is cute when you wear it bare legged, its a tight fit there's no zipper so you have to yank your leg inside there. Wearing it with jeans though is a very tight fit, almost to the point where its a little comfortable, but I get used to it after awhile.
I followed everyone's reviews and I stuck to my normal shoe size because this boot really does stay true to shoe size. But the calf area or the body of the boot needs to made a little bigger.. thats the only I can disagree with these boots, and why I gave it four stars.
