These are a fantastic pair of boots! These boots will work well for ladies, like me, with a fuller calf. They come up over the knee and were very cute with a skirt. . I wear a size 10 and these boots fit perfectly out of the box. I wore them all evening to a party, no achy feet that night or the next day. I was pleased with the purchase.

Love these boots! They are perfect with jeans, even if you have to tuck in boot cut jeans, they are great. Super comfortable and so worth it!

I\'ve worn these a couple of times so far and I really like the way that they fit. I read a lot of reviews, stating that these boots are wide in the calf area or that they tend to sag. I do not have this problem at all. Mine fit great, look great and stay up. And I do not have wide calfs. I\'m 5\'1" and petite, but these fit fine. My only complaint is that the suede is not very good quality, but that is what I would expect for the price. And there is not arch support. I purchased some inserts for these and now they are very comfortable.

Disappointed with the cut of this boot. The shaft is awkwardly seamed halfway up the boot in the size 6. Inside does not leave enough leather to be folded over if that's what you wanted to do. Was excited to get this otherwise beautiful boot; now it's just gathering dust.

These are very similar, if not identical, to my Chinese Laundry "Strate" style suede boot that came out last year, the one Serena wore in grey on gossip girl. I got these in black leather. For the price, they don't look that cheap. I usually wear a 7 (and am a 7 in Fryes) but have the Strate in a 6.5, so got a 6.5 in this style. They fit, but could use a little stretching. I haven't worn these out yet, so not sure if the ankle will bunch down and get all wrinkly. I'd prefer if they stood up straight, but as others have noted, the leather is kinda thin and there isn't much stiffness/support in the ankle. Hence, I wouldn't be surprised if these bunched. You can also fold these down so the top is horizontal (vs. diagonal). All in all, decent for price. Thanks Zappos for super quick shipping!

I really like these boots. I have small legs and these are a little on the larger side but it\'s not too bad when I wear jeans tucked into the boots.

These boots are great. Very comfortable, true to size, fits my calf, etc. I was hesitant to buy shoes on the internet without trying them on first, but I was pleasantly surprised. My only complaint is that the suede is not the best quality, but fine for the price.

I got these boots in black suede after seeing them on lots of celebrities. They are great! I don't know about the leather, but the suede looks much more expensive than what they cost. The inside is a cheap material, but nobody can see that! They are pretty comfortable although I haven't worn them all day yet. They aren't the warmest boots, but that's not really why I bought them. These are a great way to get into the over-the-knee boot trend without spending hundreds of dollars. Highly recommend!

Super fast shipping. Received shoes the next day. I bought these in gray in a size 8. The size is true to fit. The calves fit me which is rare because I have muscular ones. They were comfy enough to wear them all night dancing straight out of the box. My feet hurt a little bit, not too much. I don't know if these would fit if you wear thick socks, then they'd be a bit snug. Overall, an affordable, sexy boot. Lots of comps!

I ordered these boots not expecting a lot, and I was right. I am 5' 8" and these "over the knee" boots barely came up to the bottom of my knee! Very unflattering, not supple and very stumpy looking. I would not recommend this product.

I waited to get these boots for so long and then when I finally bought them and anxiously waited to recieve these boots, they are what I expected, sorta. They are not high priced looking boots, but still look really nice, and when I put them on, although the staying up above the knee isn\'t the problem, the shoes being tight in the toe area is.I\'m normally a size 7 but sadly these boots are snug on one foot and I\'m going to return em for a half size up with hopes they will fit nice, but I\'m skeptical because I don\'t want to get boots that are going to look HUGE so I\'m hoping that the next pair are better.

if you have skinny calves don't bother -
These boots are really cute. unfortunatly im a size 9 and 120 pounds and they are waaaaaaaaaaay too big for my calves. my calves aren't craaazy sick skinny or ne thing, but they are smaller and i basically look like a homeless pirate when I wear them. Regardless...I wore them all last winter...layering and folding two pairs of thigh high socks to keep them up. I really want to have them taken in cuz they look really cool but it's hard to find a place that will do it since they don't have a zipper. They are nice though, although the don't have much support. They aren't uncormfortable...but your feet definitely don't feel fantastic after standing all day. btw i bought the black suede and while one boot stays up the other is terribly loose and falls. But if you have normal sized calves you would probably love these boots I bet they'd be great.

I recently purchased the Chinese Laundry Turbo boot. I selected this because of the other reviews and I had never purchased boots online before. I wanted a pair of nice boots but really did not want to spend $300. I was looking for a pair of OTK boots that could be folded down, but also wanted them to be a long lasting boot purchase. These were inexpensive and looked it. They are not very comfortable and the inner arch falls in over the sole of the outside of the boot. The soles are very narrow. They are somewhat attractive if what you want is just a season boot and plan on replacing them next year. I do not see this being a long term purchase as they do not seem to be really high quality. I assume for the average buyer that wants the look and wants to be budget minded, these would be a great choice. They are OTK and can be folded, and seem to fit your true size for closed toe shoes, the toe area of the shoe is snug if you have toe issues, also they are somewhat of a hassle to get over your heel as they are pull ons. I am returning mine and purchasing a different pair.

While I so wanted to love this boot, it runs way too big in the calf, and would not stay up, and I do not have that skinny of calves. Sorry, had to return them, but I still love Zappos.

I love these boots. First let me start off by saying this was the first time I have used Zappos and had a really good experience. I got the boots like 2 days after I had ordered them. They were true to size and arrived in good shape. They are over the knee and actually stay up. I have some over the knee boots that start to slouch down after you walk around a little bit. They are also priced very well compared to other similar boots I have seen. I actually went on the Chinese Laundry website and they sell this boot for more then Zappos.com does.

I love this boot. So comfy and stylish. I just got them a few days ago and they just look great with leggings and skinny jeans. The leather is a little cheaper, but honestly the price is right. Over the knee boots are the look for this winter. this is a must have item. Fast shipping Zappos! Thanks.

I am so happy I found affordable over the knee flat boots. I live in Chicago where the winters are crazy, and although I do love higher priced items, sometimes it’s not realistic to own boots that won’t hold up to the snow and cold. I wore them after a night of dancing, and never complained once of pain and pinched toes! I even got stepped on a couple of times, which would have made me flinch if they did cost $$$. I will definitely suggest these boots to anyone that wants a trendy look without breaking the bank!

I got this boot in the black leather and I am absolutely in love with it! It comes over my knee by about an inch or so but I'm 5'8" or 5'9" so it'll probably be taller and look even better the shorter you are. I have quite big calves and these fit with room to spare! I can wear my skinny jeans with them and not have unsightly bulges around the ankles. The leather is kind of thin, but I don't really mind it considering the only other pair of over the knee boots that fit me are $400+. I'd say they run a bit large as I am definitely a 10 1/2 in any shoe I buy, but the 10s fit perfectly with enough space for thick socks. This small wedge heel is perfect for walking around the city because when shoes are too flat they don't have enough support. Overall, I am super pleased with this boot. It's definitely a must have for any woman's closet. Actually my only caveat with them is that there are too many seams. I wish they only had a seam up the back, then they would look even more expensive.

Really cute over the knee boot. I was shopping for an over the knee boot for the season, but I didn't want to break the bank! Most of the really cute styles out there are $300 and up. I was originally drawn to Chinese Laundry's Tripin Style, but I had difficulty with them staying up. I want a true over the knee boot that I don't have to keep readjusting. The Turbo has thicker suede, so there is more structure to the boot. It does tend to fall a bit, but not as badly. I wouldn't say the suede is high quality by any means, but really, you can't tell. And for a trendy shoe of the season, you can't go wrong for the price. They fit true to size and are pretty comfortable. I highly recommend.

Boots are super cute! Got mine in Black Suede. There's enough room to tuck in your jeans. Scrunches down with leggings. I can't feel the sole padding so I wear them with Dr. Scholl's inserts for added comfort. Speedy delivery with Zappos!

I feel these boots run 1/2 size small and narrow. Nice boot for the money though. I hope they get more sizes in because I have to send mine back and they don't have the next size up anymore.

LOVE the boots! I've been searching for over the knee flat boots, since they are the trend of the fall, but most are way too expensive. The boots look great and expensive! The best part is if you want them to be below the knee, you can scrunch them down. Very comfortable to wear all day long.

Ladies, I love this boots! I actually purchased the black leather pair last year and was truly happy to find the grey color. A huge problem for me is that I have big calves and it's hard to get boots as far as my knees. These boots are super comfortable and they are made to stretch to the width of your legs, they look so cute with skinny jeans or a really cute dress/skirt. This is a great buy and the price is right!

 |  | I just wanted you to know that Zappos.com "wowed" me recently. I have been looking to improve the customer experience in my company for years, but until recently haven't
taken the necessary steps to make it happen. In the last month I have contacted many well known customer service businesses to foster ideas on how to better care for our customers, and ZAPPOS.com has risen to the top for me. You not only sent me some of your 2008 Culture books, but you didn't charge me a cent, and I made sure that I presented this fact to the team at our daily morning huddle. I was also most impressed that Tony signed the book(s)!!! Wow. I want our company to be known as following ZAPPOS.com's lead, and be better at caring for the whole individual as we care for their health needs. Thanks again, we're already discussing new core values thanks to ZAPPOS.com. I would like to send the results of these to you as my way of thanking your company for motivation to get better.
