    Better than expected! I purchased these in the black suede and they are better than I expected! Runs true to size. I am 5'3" and I was afraid that these would be too tall but they aren't. They hit just a few inches above my knee. I also have muscular calves for my frame (13 inches) and I still have enough room to tuck in my skinny jeans. I think that this boot will have a slouchier fit on women with thinner calves. On me they are only slightly slouchy. The only problem is that they have no arch support. However, for the price, I think they are a bargain! So glad I bought them. I may purchase another color - grey leather maybe.

    I love these boots! They are so comfortable and versatile! I wear them with dresses and over my jeans. I highly recommend them if you want a stylish pair of comfy boots. My only complaint is that I wish the leather was of better quality. Other than that, they are fab!

    These are a fantastic pair of boots! These boots will work well for ladies, like me, with a fuller calf. They come up over the knee and were very cute with a skirt. . I wear a size 10 and these boots fit perfectly out of the box. I wore them all evening to a party, no achy feet that night or the next day. I was pleased with the purchase.

    Love these boots! They are perfect with jeans, even if you have to tuck in boot cut jeans, they are great. Super comfortable and so worth it!

    I\'ve worn these a couple of times so far and I really like the way that they fit. I read a lot of reviews, stating that these boots are wide in the calf area or that they tend to sag. I do not have this problem at all. Mine fit great, look great and stay up. And I do not have wide calfs. I\'m 5\'1" and petite, but these fit fine. My only complaint is that the suede is not very good quality, but that is what I would expect for the price. And there is not arch support. I purchased some inserts for these and now they are very comfortable.

    Disappointed with the cut of this boot. The shaft is awkwardly seamed halfway up the boot in the size 6. Inside does not leave enough leather to be folded over if that's what you wanted to do. Was excited to get this otherwise beautiful boot; now it's just gathering dust.

    These are very similar, if not identical, to my Chinese Laundry "Strate" style suede boot that came out last year, the one Serena wore in grey on gossip girl. I got these in black leather. For the price, they don't look that cheap. I usually wear a 7 (and am a 7 in Fryes) but have the Strate in a 6.5, so got a 6.5 in this style. They fit, but could use a little stretching. I haven't worn these out yet, so not sure if the ankle will bunch down and get all wrinkly. I'd prefer if they stood up straight, but as others have noted, the leather is kinda thin and there isn't much stiffness/support in the ankle. Hence, I wouldn't be surprised if these bunched. You can also fold these down so the top is horizontal (vs. diagonal). All in all, decent for price. Thanks Zappos for super quick shipping!

    I really like these boots. I have small legs and these are a little on the larger side but it\'s not too bad when I wear jeans tucked into the boots.

    These boots are great. Very comfortable, true to size, fits my calf, etc. I was hesitant to buy shoes on the internet without trying them on first, but I was pleasantly surprised. My only complaint is that the suede is not the best quality, but fine for the price.

    I got these boots in black suede after seeing them on lots of celebrities. They are great! I don't know about the leather, but the suede looks much more expensive than what they cost. The inside is a cheap material, but nobody can see that! They are pretty comfortable although I haven't worn them all day yet. They aren't the warmest boots, but that's not really why I bought them. These are a great way to get into the over-the-knee boot trend without spending hundreds of dollars. Highly recommend!

    Super fast shipping. Received shoes the next day. I bought these in gray in a size 8. The size is true to fit. The calves fit me which is rare because I have muscular ones. They were comfy enough to wear them all night dancing straight out of the box. My feet hurt a little bit, not too much. I don't know if these would fit if you wear thick socks, then they'd be a bit snug. Overall, an affordable, sexy boot. Lots of comps!

    I ordered these boots not expecting a lot, and I was right. I am 5' 8" and these "over the knee" boots barely came up to the bottom of my knee! Very unflattering, not supple and very stumpy looking. I would not recommend this product.

    I waited to get these boots for so long and then when I finally bought them and anxiously waited to recieve these boots, they are what I expected, sorta. They are not high priced looking boots, but still look really nice, and when I put them on, although the staying up above the knee isn\'t the problem, the shoes being tight in the toe area is.I\'m normally a size 7 but sadly these boots are snug on one foot and I\'m going to return em for a half size up with hopes they will fit nice, but I\'m skeptical because I don\'t want to get boots that are going to look HUGE so I\'m hoping that the next pair are better.

    if you have skinny calves don't bother - These boots are really cute. unfortunatly im a size 9 and 120 pounds and they are waaaaaaaaaaay too big for my calves. my calves aren't craaazy sick skinny or ne thing, but they are smaller and i basically look like a homeless pirate when I wear them. Regardless...I wore them all last winter...layering and folding two pairs of thigh high socks to keep them up. I really want to have them taken in cuz they look really cool but it's hard to find a place that will do it since they don't have a zipper. They are nice though, although the don't have much support. They aren't uncormfortable...but your feet definitely don't feel fantastic after standing all day. btw i bought the black suede and while one boot stays up the other is terribly loose and falls. But if you have normal sized calves you would probably love these boots I bet they'd be great.

    I recently purchased the Chinese Laundry Turbo boot. I selected this because of the other reviews and I had never purchased boots online before. I wanted a pair of nice boots but really did not want to spend $300. I was looking for a pair of OTK boots that could be folded down, but also wanted them to be a long lasting boot purchase. These were inexpensive and looked it. They are not very comfortable and the inner arch falls in over the sole of the outside of the boot. The soles are very narrow. They are somewhat attractive if what you want is just a season boot and plan on replacing them next year. I do not see this being a long term purchase as they do not seem to be really high quality. I assume for the average buyer that wants the look and wants to be budget minded, these would be a great choice. They are OTK and can be folded, and seem to fit your true size for closed toe shoes, the toe area of the shoe is snug if you have toe issues, also they are somewhat of a hassle to get over your heel as they are pull ons. I am returning mine and purchasing a different pair.

    While I so wanted to love this boot, it runs way too big in the calf, and would not stay up, and I do not have that skinny of calves. Sorry, had to return them, but I still love Zappos.

    I love these boots. First let me start off by saying this was the first time I have used Zappos and had a really good experience. I got the boots like 2 days after I had ordered them. They were true to size and arrived in good shape. They are over the knee and actually stay up. I have some over the knee boots that start to slouch down after you walk around a little bit. They are also priced very well compared to other similar boots I have seen. I actually went on the Chinese Laundry website and they sell this boot for more then Zappos.com does.

    I love this boot. So comfy and stylish. I just got them a few days ago and they just look great with leggings and skinny jeans. The leather is a little cheaper, but honestly the price is right. Over the knee boots are the look for this winter. this is a must have item. Fast shipping Zappos! Thanks.
