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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Shaft not wide enough -
I wear a size 8 shoe with an extra wide foot and and 18 inch calf, the description said it fit up to a 19 inch calf, however I find this untrue, I ordered the size 8WW, then the 9 1/2WW and was too stiff and would not zip up on even half my calf. It fit perfectly in the toe width. I'm very disappointed b/c I love the style of the shoe. I originally ordered the David Tate Denver boot 8 1/2WW and it fit perfectly in the width and actually zipped all the way up, the leather was stretchier, however I hated the pointed toe, so like I said before I'm highly disappointed this boot didn't fit.

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.

Baggy, Broken -
These were the first boots to EVER fit my athletic calves, however, the zipper is extremely weak. It broke after one wear around the house. Also, the ankles are extremely baggy and the materials feel and look cheap for what I'm paying. Sorry Zappos. Normally, I'd be very satisfied, but these are just... yech.

Kickass boots -
I love these boots! I have been looking for sexy boots that fit my big, fat feet and also have a little heel. These fit big - meaning I can wear warm socks and an arch support with them. It doesn't get any better. I am psyched.

Good fit but baggy ankles -
I have pretty muscular calves and size 11 feet, so finding any boots that fit is fantastic! I wish the ankle area fit a little better though - it’s a bit baggy.

BEST BOOTS EVER -
Before getting the David Tate Daytona, I tried two other styles of boots and they were not a fit. However, when I received the David Tate boots, I was over joyed with the looks and the fit and comfort. I have a high instep and I had no problems getting them on and they are totally comfortable. I just love the quality, comfort, and fit as well as the looks. I will always look for the David Tate line of boots. Thanks for the opportunity to express myself.

Boots I've been looking for all my adult life!
I've never been able to wear knee-high, zip-up leather boots before because my legs are just too thick. From ankle to calf, I couldn't zip most leather boots (who are these things made for, anyway?). I ordered these Daytona boots in the widest width and, hallelujah! They fit with room to spare. They are quite comfortable. Because I got the widest width, I think the bottom "shoe" part feels a bit roomier than normal, but I fixed this by putting a nice thick insole in there, which gives me the bonus of extra arch support. The boots fit great, look very sexy and are extremely comfortable. The little leather bands around the ankle is a nice touch that make the boot a little more interesting and dressy. I can wear these with skirts, dresses, and jeans and they look and feel terrific. Thank you, David Tate and Zappos!

I Love This Boot!
I had the hardest time finding a stylish, comfortable and sexy boot that would fit my wide calves (and I am not even a "big" girl!). I got these in the wide-wide size, and they look so good not being tight around my leg. The gap in between the boot and my calf is sexy and makes my calves actually appear small!
You cannot go wrong with this boot - plus it's all 100% real leather, and feels very well-made.
