    I bought these boots for my wife as an anniversary present. She\'s been hinting about wanting a pair of high leather boots for years. I have to admit it was a challenge finding these boots in her size but Zappos made it easy, even when I had to exchange for a different size. They even sent the new size out before receiving the first pair back at their warehouse. That was impressive! \r\n\r\nThe good news is that she loves her boots and I get to be the hero!

    The wide calf easily accommodates my 19" calves. Never thought I would find a fashionable boot in my size. The stacked heel felt sturdy and after a bit of practice, I could walk comfortably in the 2.5" heels which I haven't done in years. Please carry more and I will likely buy more...There were no further charges on delivery though...I definitely will order from Zappos again.

    Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Arch: No arch support Shoe Width: Felt true to width

    This boots actually have a little room at the top of my calf, which measures 19 inches at its widest point. I am not sure if I like the gaping and have not really looked at other women boots to see if many gap like these. But I do like the idea that I will be able to tuck pants legs into these boots with the extra room. The boots are comfortable on my leg and look very nice as well. The heel is a little clunky and I don't know if I care for the leather straps around the ankle. But I feel, overall, I do like the look of the boots on my legs. I have huge calves and I don't know if I will be able to find boots to fit other than these. One aspect of Zappos that I was very impressed about is that I ordered these boots around midnight and they arrived at my house the following day around 12 PM free of shipping charges. I also ordered a second pair of boots that did not fit my calves and the return process is simple. I will definitely use Zappos again to order shoes.

    Great company to do business with. Order was delivered quicker than I thought it would be. My wife loved the boots and I actually got the size right, so there was no need for an exchange. I also work for a company that sells footwear to Zappos.com and it is always a pleasure to do business with them. Great company and you can not go wrong with them. You rock Zappos.com!

    Years and years of searching for knee-high boots for very thick calves came to an end when I found these boots. They are beautiful and very comfortable. They fit around my calves without any pinching. The only thing that could have made them better is that while I have 19 inch calves my foot isn't that wide. It's nothing that a gel insert didn't fix. I highly recommend this boot for anyone looking for a stylish boot, made from high quality leather (no stretchy vinyl), with loads of comfort.

    I purchased these boots thinking they were the answer to my never ending search for knee high boots that fit my 16-3/4" round calves, but I ended up returning them. I was ecstatic when they zipped all the way up, but when I stood up I saw that they bunch around the ankle, a lot. The bunching is so bad it takes away from the look of the boots. From the side they look great, but from the front/back they have no shape. There's too much extra material around the ankles. I guess if you have wide ankles with wide calves these boots will work for you, but if you have normal size ankles they just don't look right.

    I got the extra wide width in order to fit my 18" extra-large calf. It zipped up like a glove! Never before have I been able to wear a boot that went past the ankle. My only caveat is that there isn't enough padding in the bottom of the boot. I put in extra-thick insoles. Overall, love it!

    I really appreciate shoe designers who make a variety of calf widths. They are comfortable, but not made for a lot of walking. They look nice. The calf might be a bit big, but at least I can zip it.

    Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Arch: No arch support Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked

    Ankle too stiff and narrow. I love dress boots and live in them come winter. I have extra wide feet and wide calves so had been attracted to these, but the ankle was so stiff that going down stairs felt awkward. And it rubbed against my ankles in an uncomfortable way. I stopped wearing them when, one day, it rubbed a place on my ankle raw.

    Ecstatic! I usually never spend this much on anything to wear, but I went for it! I have a very short, very wide foot, along with super wide calves (19"!) Not only did the Zappo's Customer Loyalty Team upgrade me to overnight shipping for free, I put the boot on and, WOW! It fits me perfectly! They are comfortable, sleek, and sexy...I got a size 6.5 WW

    Daytona - Yes, I read the other reviews. But, I thought, "I have a wide foot, and a larger calf - they should be fine for me." Well, as many others have said, they are just all around big. The calf had almost an inch more space than I needed, and typically I can't even zip boots up. The ankle was extremely loose, which I probably would have lived with, but on top of it, they were too wide (this has never happened to me before) and too long. Everything about this boot was just too big. Since it is so hard for me to find boots that fit, I may attempt to try these a half size smaller. The leather was soft and comfortable and while the look was not as elegant as I had hoped, it isn't bad.

    Shoe Arch: No arch support Shoe Width: Felt true to width

    Very disappointing. I warily ordered the boot in W because calf width was tied to shoe width, which just did not work out. I doubt even an insert would have made the shoe part fit my foot, which just swam in the boot. The shaft width is the same size as my calves, but the shaft narrows above the ankle so much that I could not zip the boot (plus, my ankles are skinnier than my calves, which did not help the swimming feet issue). I did not like the look, style, or the leather, and I do not plan to sample other boots from this company. I lucked out with a couple pair of Ros Hommerson boots, which were available with a super wide calf and M width.

    The Best Boot Ever - The fit of these boots was great, the first day I had them on it was long day. They were very comfortable, and I really like the look of them. I would buy this brand again!!!

    Poor quality - These boots were disappointing. The sizing is not consistent -- one boot shaft was too large and the other too small. And my calves are the same size, within a half an inch of each other. The lining was cheap, and the ankles on this boot were ridiculously baggy.

    Great Boots! These boots are really wonderful! They are comfortable and they fit me, even though I have wide feet and very large calves. I had to get the WW to get it wide enough and for the shaft to be big enough. They have great arch support and look very pretty. There isn't any cushion in the insole - that is my only complaint. If they did, they would be perfect.

    Great experience! This was my first purchase at Zappos and it was a great experience! My feet are very hard to fit and the thought of buying shoes without first trying them on seemed ridiculous, but I had given up on trying to find boots in stores that came even close to fitting me. Therefore, I haven't owned a pair of dress boots in decades. I have a high instep, a 16-17 inch calf, some dislocation and hammering of my toes, etc. To make things even more complicated, the shoes in my closet range from sizes 7 1/2 - 8 1/2 in both medium and wide widths! So, I read all the reviews and decided to start by ordering in the midrange, an 8 wide. You can imagine my surprise when I received them and they fit perfectly!!! It's wonderful to finally be able to dress up in winter weather with my boots. They look and fit great! I won't hesitate to order again!

    They were too big for my calves - The ankle straps are very cute, but the calf was just enormous for me. I had ordered this boot in brown and black, in two different sizes, but both in the extra wide width. The brown boot had a very funny squeak to it when I walked. These are heading back.
