David Tate Daytona SKU #7265085(View on Zappos.com Classic)

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.

Thank you for the wonderfully quick and thoughtfully packaged delivery of my new boots! They fit beautifully and they draw tons of compliments wherever I wear them.

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!

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.

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.

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 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!

Not so good - I thought this would be the answer to my search for a dressy size 12 narrow boot. Couldn't get the N so I took a chance that maybe they would work with a sock. Wrong! They are wider than any of the Med. width shoes/boots I own. The leather is very stiff and feels like you're trying to walk in cardboard boots! The calf width was great...I have muscular calves from exercise and genes...but these fit fine. The heel height was OK but since the inner sole wasn't very well padded I would have padded them. But since so many things were not good for me, I'll have to return them. The search for a comfy black dress boot continues.

Very Nice Boot - I have searched high and low for a boot that will fit my calf. This one hits the mark. Comes up to the perfect height - just below the knee. And the heel is the right height to wear for every day wear. I would prefer it without the 3 little straps around the ankle that you cannot really see in the photo, but that was not a deal breaker for me.
