These boots are my go-to footwear nearly every day. They are incredibly comfortable for lots of walking around. Like most La Canadienne boots, the calves are narrow. These boots look better under jeans than over them. The leather is gorgeous. You'll be shocked that leather this soft and supple could actually be waterproof, but they haven't let me down. The only minor complaint I have is that the scalloped detailing over the front of the foot tends to turn up rather than lying flat against the foot of the boot.

This boot is so lovely. Stylish but comfortable. Wore them for four hours straight out of the box. Quality of La Canadienne leather, fit, and styling is superb.

I love these boots! I wear them with dresses and dress pants and jeans. They've taken about 6 wearings to finally feel great all day long. (I walk a mile+ during my work day.) I feel confident they'll hold their own during a Montana winter or two. I'll definitely check out other La Canadienne footwear when I'm in the market!

Can\'t live without them - my 2nd pair, the 1st pair lasted through 3 rough winters. An all weather boot that looks beautiful. Super soft leather. Great boot!

I bought these boots in the brown neptune 5 years ago and it was the best money ever spent..warm and super comfortable and an excellent grip on the bottom for the slippery conditions we often get here in the winter. If you\'re looking for an excellent leather boot this is the one!

I waited and waited for these boots to go on sale and finally got them for $100. They are worth every penny! I absolutely love them! I wish I had them in black too. The leather is soft and beautiful. I would never try to wear these in the rain or snow, but If I did I am sure they would be just fine.

Wow! Gorgeous, unique, comfy, and waterproof too! I love these boots! They felt perfectly true to size, and needed no breaking in.

Too tight around the calf - These boots are too cute. But the calf was too tight. They would be perfect if the calf area was bigger. My calves are not very large - so be warned.

These boots are gorgeous and waterproof--it's hard to ask for more! The brown is particularly beautiful, and I think compliments the vintage-y look of the boot nicely. These are great for people with large calves (like me) as they are wider in the calf to begin with and then will stretch if needed. They are not wide in the ankle though, so they are more for curvy legs rather than legs that are thick all the way through. My one complaint is that there isn't much padding in the bottom, so the balls of my feet can get a bit sore if I wear them on days I do a lot of walking--I may try the pads others have recommended. Got my regular size (9), which fit fine.

These boots were adorable and seemed comfortable (at least walking around my house), but unfortunately the shaft of the leg was too wide for my calves. I have skinny legs, and although there’s the appearance of a sort of tie at the top of these boots that might lead you to believe there’s some ability to adjust their width, it’s only decorative (maybe it could be loosened, I didn’t notice... but certainly it can’t be tightened). I’d be willing to put up with a boot that didn’t fit perfectly - not their fault my calf muscles don’t bulk up - but there was a serious gap... to the degree that I looked like a little kid wearing my mom’s big boots in a skirt, and even with my jeans tucked into them, they still looked sloppy. If you have average sized legs, I’m sure these boots will be fine, but if you have skinny ones like me, keep searching!

Great fit, style comfort - I found these boots at a high-end department store Oct 2008. I couldn't afford them at the time, and when I returned to purchase them in February 2009, they were sold out. :-( I should have known because for the first time in years they fit me great! No skin squeezing at the top on my calf, minimal ankle bunching, full leather, and waterproof??? They really were the PERFECT BOOT! I should invest in a brown pair, too...

Hard to Believe Boots Can Be This Good - I, like many other reviewers, at first balked at the high price of these boots. But no more! I have had my pair of Tahras for a year now, and have worn them again and again in the slush of northern Ohio. Salt marks from the salty slush here just wipe right off and the boots look great. They are waterproof, too. The icing on the cake of course is the style of the boots--I love the trim on the front and top, and the heel is just high enough to look dressy without making the boots hard to wear. I don't wear heels normally, but these boots are not a problem for me. I have the brown ones, and just ordered the black ones too! Crazy? Perhaps. But after a year of testing my first pair, I can say they're worth the money. I haven't been so enthusiastic about a pair of boots in I don't know when. Maybe never!

Random Compliments - I've had these boots for 2.5 years now (they've held up beautifully). I love the fit and the heel is just perfect for wearing to work (even though I'm on my feet a bit). The reason I'm writing this, however, is because I get random compliments on these boots CONSTANTLY. Everyone loves them and so do I!

Great boot! I've been wanting a stylish, reliable rain boot for such a long time. I followed the advice of the other reviewers and ordered a 1/2 size up. That was a great choice for me! (Corns and bunions = need for roomier toe box.) They are mondo-soft! Easy to walk in, all day friendly, and unique in styling. They were easy on the toes, easy on the heels, fabulous! For we of generous calf, I just barely got them to zip, but they did stretch and fit nicely now.

They fit! I ordered these about three weeks ago; they are so comfortable I've worn them to work all day almost every day! They were comfortable right out of the box. I'm 5'2" and they come up to about two inches below the bottom of my kneecap. Also, I have pretty large calves, and these were a little tight at the very top on the first day, but have loosened up nicely. The heel is a nice height for every day, and it's wide enough to feel stable. I'm hoping we get some rain here in the Bay Area, so I can test out their waterproof claim.

Comfortable... Very cute and comfortable boot. The leather is very soft, and with a bit of effort I was able to get this boot done up over my larger calves. Only complaint is the boot does not go up to the knee. It is a couple of inches lower and hits right at the part of the calf that makes you look larger than you really are. Also tends to slip a bit during the day.

The perfect boot - These are the perfect boots! I tried so many boots, even bought several and brought them home, but they were never quite right for my needs. These look great with everything from jeans to dresses, and for any occasion. They are extremely comfortable--can be worn all day at work (on my feet) and into the evening. They look great peeking out of long jeans, and also with knee-length skirts and dresses. The leather is so soft, and the detailing is beautiful. i plan to buy them in black as well.

Wonderful boots - I ordered these boots in brown size 7. These boots look amazing with pants, skirts and dresses. Very comfortable, the leather is very soft. It feels like a "glove."

LOVE These!! I love these boots. I have been keeping an eye on them since last winter, around holiday time. I found them in Bloomingdale's in NYC and decided to shop around for a lower price, which I couldn't find. I waited and waited and finally got a sale price here at Zappos about 1 week ago. I LOVE them! I ordered an entire size up (usually I take an 8.5 but when I tried them on in NYC, 8.5 felt tight) and they fit perfectly. Nice sturdy boot you will LOVE! Looking forward to wearing them this winter in the cold weather!!

Great except for my ankle - I love the style and the sturdiness of this boot. After wearing it about an hour, the indentation of leather above my left ankle began to rub on my leg. I kept thinking that it would go away or soften, but after several days of wearing it, it continues to chafe against my leg so that I must put on a large band aid on that area to protect myself from the pain. And this is while wearing knee socks!
