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!

Timeless -
Very comfortable boot. I like the feminine details and the low heel. I had to go up half a size, otherwise fits well. To me, the style is timeless, so I will wear this boot for years to come.

Amazing boots!
These are the best boots I've ever owned. They are extremely comfortable, very stylish, and truly waterproof as advertised. I live in Michigan, and we've been getting tons of snow and rain this winter. These boots have kept me dry through all of it. Go ahead and step right into that slush puddle that's overtaken the sidewalk; in these boots, your feet will stay dry. These boots also have terrific traction on slippery surfaces and they are comfy even if you do a lot of walking. Plus, they are really cute and a little dressy, unlike most weatherproof boots.

These boots might be the best footwear purchase I've ever made. They're incredibly cute, really comfortable, and outstanding for the slushy, icy, snowy Michigan winters. La Canadiennes are outstanding for those of us cursed with living in wintery climates.

Love it the second time around!
I purchased these boots in black over a year ago and adore them. Easy to walk in through many airports, low heel yet a little something (not flat), like the vintage look and heel rather than a wedge. They have held up perfectly over the last year. Leather is SO soft! Have spent this winter trying to find a pair of brown boots that feel and wear as nicely as my black ones. Tried La Canadienne Kara, Kris, Taylor as well as Sofft and John Fleuvog. Broke down and bought the brown Tahras. They arrived last night and I love them just as much as the black ones. Straight out of the box they feel great! The brown is mottled just as it looks on the website. Dark brown with a vintage look. Get these boots - you won't be sorry!

Great!
This is a beautifully made boot. It is made from the softest and lightest leather; it hardly seems possible that it could be this warm and durable. It was comfortable right away, too. I put it on and off I went! It is all I wear, now. This boot exceeded all my expectations even after reading all the positive feedback from the other reviewers. Kudos to La Canadienne for making such a great quality product that has aesthetics, quality workmanship, and functions in winter weather. Buy this boot!

Charming and comfortable.
This boot is such a pleasure: it looks good and feels better. I love La Canadienne boots, and was happy that this taller boot was no exception. I have narrow feet with high arches but wide toes, and these fit well. I also have plantar fasciitis so my feet often ache, and this boot at least provides some comfort for the sole. Nice heel height, too: a little lift but very easy to walk in and live in all day long.

Love this boot!
Completely worth the price. I have slightly larger than normal calves, and usually can't fit into anything but stretchy boots. However, I had a pair of La Canadienne boots previously that fit well, so I decided to try these. I was able to zip them all the way to the top! What a pleasant surprise for a leather boot! I am a true 8 1/2, and after reading the reviews, I ordered a 9; it fits very well with a small sock. The detail really makes this boot; it will look great with pants or skirts. Love, love, love it!

Not your average black knee high dress boot!
Just received these from my husband for xmas and I couldn’t be more thrilled! The quality of the leather is unlike any other pair of shoes I've ever owned -- so soft and plush, yet waterproof and durable. The waterproof construction and soft moisture-wicking linings are top notch. I like the unique, curved, short stack heel, which is comfortable to wear at the office all day and pairs well with anything from jeans to skirts. And finally, the mary jane perfed scallop detail and rounded toe make the boot unlike any other I've seen. It's nice to slip into a pair of black dress boots that don't look like everybody else's!

These boots are so comfortable, cool and sexy; I broke down and bought them in brown, too! Buttery smooth and great with pants and dresses. Expensive, yes, but sometimes you just have to treat yourself! Couldn't find anything else close. Very, very happy with these treasures!

 |  | Thank you, thank you! Ya know, I saw the special on tv awhile back about your company, the CEO, and the costume parades through the cubicles and how you just happen to be selling shoes, but you care about customer service… so my adult son walks in the house for a visit yesterday afternoon around 4:00, w/ holes in his Bass Weejuns, I click “order” AND he gets them this morning at 11:00 in his office AND he's wearing them. You are all truly amazing and I do tell everyone I know! SO glad you decided to sell shoes, but you really could be selling anything - WOW! Barbara L. |  | ~ Barbara L., May 30 2009
