A little disappointed -
I have been wearing these around the house for 5-6 hours. Not comfortable AT ALL! I typically wear a 10, I ordered an 11M & the entire foot portion is horribly tight!! My feet are completely NUMB from the arch down. My fat ankles are about 9.5-10", & these boots pinch a LOT in the ankle area. It hurts to walk up & down steps. There is no give in the leather. My fat calves are 18" at the largest point. The boots DO fit my calves alright. But I have to wear nylons with these, no room for socks at all! They also creep DOWN & bunch a little at the ankles. Also, one boot is a slightly different color than the other! Ugh! Ridiculous! I don't think I can possibly wear these out & be comfortable at all. They look sexy, but feel like torture devices.

NOT for wide calves -
I don't have large legs, but do require wide calf width for my athletic legs (I'm a swimmer). I bought these thinking that they would accommodate a TRULY wide calf and they did not. They claimed to be 17.5 inches in circumference (which should give me enough space), but the ankle was cut narrow and didn't fit well around my calf. Also, the toe is VERY narrow, so make sure you get a wider width, all you wide-calf ladies.
Its overall look was very nice, but I will need to return them due to poor cut and measurement issues.

Best boots for wide calves -
These boots are magnificent! They are classic and stylish and oh, the comfort! The gel sole feels better than a tennis shoe. The calf is a little too wide for me, but for the price, I am having them altered at a local boot shop - and they are totally worth it. I highly recommend these boots for anyone who has trouble finding tall boots that fit over the calf. They are sooo sexy that I would wear them out tonight if it wasn't 101 degrees outside. LOVE ‘EM!

Better for taller people -
I liked the boot a lot but it seems to be gaping just before my knee and gave me the impression it would fit better on a slightly taller person - I am 5'5". And for me the heel is a bit too high, it overall felt like "not my shoe". The regular width was a bit narrow, I usually wear a wide C.

Still not the right calf size -
I have had such trouble finding wide calf boots. These sounded great. They are really cute and the size and width for the foot are perfect (I'm a 10W). However, although I have a 16 1/2" calf, these were way TOO WIDE at the calf! I was so disappointed to have to return them.

This is the first boot EVER that I have been able to zip up my calves without getting them altered at a shoe shop. Thank you Zappos. I want the black ones, too! Only negative, they are narrow in the shoe.

Great boots!
First pair of boots I've EVER been able to zip all the way up! This was also my first Zappos purchase. I'm very pleased with the boots as well as with Zappos. It's gotten really warm since I got them, so I've not worn them out that much, but wearing them around the house has been pleasant. They are very true to the picture and dimensions given on the website. Great boots! I will be buying many more shoes from Zappos!!!

Finally a tall boot I can zip up!
These are the first boots I have found that fit my calves and are stylish too. I have looked in every major dept store, only in specialty stores for wide feet did I find any that fit, but hey I am not an old lady so I need something stylish. These are perfect. I've had them three months and have worn them extensively and the comfort has not let me down. I've already told all my "big calves" friends about your site and about Fitzwell.

Nice looking boots -
I would have rated these five stars, but the zipper area of leather buckles in by my ankles, and pokes my inner ankle. Very annoying, and uncomfortable. They look great and would be the perfect boot otherwise.

Best Boot Ever!!
I have never been able to find a boot that will zip around my 19" calf!! I have always envied women wearing tall boots in the cold winters of Michigan. These boots were a perfect fit! The shock absorbing gel insole is a winner! Who knew a heel could be so comfy! The leather was shinny and the style was classy. I am happy and excited about my first pair of tall leather boots! Thank you Zappos and Fitzwell!!!

Great Boots -
I can't say enough good for these. They fit my extra wide calves perfectly, the heel is the right height, and the decoration is subtle but classy. I believe I could wear these days on end without any discomfort at all.

AMAZING! Sweet mystery of life, at last I find you...
I almost can't say, without lapsing into poetry or song, how fabulous these boots are and how hot they make me feel! I've wanted full-length boots all my life, and this time around I tried a half-dozen pairs of boots before I discovered these, and I'm glad I persevered!
I have very, very wide calves - one is 17 inches, the other leans more toward 17 and a half - with tiny ankles, so to find a boot that approximates my shape this well is actually a heaven-sent blessing. I've been wearing them with tights and short skirts and stopping traffic. My husband would like you to know he's personally grateful to you for adding them to my wardrobe!
On me, they're surprisingly comfortable; I added a tiny front gel-pad and wore them for 12 hours straight the other day. I have slightly narrow feet and a high arch, which works fine in this shape.
Thank you, Zappos - what a wonderfully designed website and what a great return policy and customer service! I'm blown away by the possibilities. Can't wait to find something new! Who knows, now that I know the effect upon my husband, maybe I need TWO pairs of full-length boots...or three...or more!

It's been many y-e-a-r-s since I have found boots that fit my wide calf and are comfortable. These are the best boots ever. Wish it came in more colors. The surprise is the gel pad inside at the heel. Worth buying.

This is an excellent and beautiful shoe inside and out. Fitzwell is now my favorite brand because of the comfort gel insoles. It really makes a difference in comfort. I have these in brown and I wish I had them in black too. I feel beautiful in them. They are wide enough for my plus size calf. I'm a proportionate 1X but my legs have size to them. They look great (slim) in the books. I mainly wear them with skirts to show them off. I do wear them to the office. They aren't too much for conservative DC. Well worth the purchase. The calf was just right. I wear a 10w and bought a 10w. I wear them with tights or trouser socks but, not thick socks.

Cute and comfortable but very wide calf -
My calf measures 16-17 inches and I normally wear a size 10. Based on other reviews I chose an 11. The 11 fit right in the foot (I would definitely recommend going a size up, especially if you want to add inserts or wear thick socks) but the calf was HUGE. Not only huge, but in an exaggerated shape with the ankle being just a little big and the wide part of the calf much, much bigger. And in a weird shape, where all of the room is at the back of the shaft. I would say in this size they were around 19-20 inches. It turned out to be very unflattering to my legs and I had to return them. If you do actually have large legs with a very curvy shape like this, you will love these boots but if you wear a 10-11 and your calves are 17 inches or less they will really be much too big.

Jazzy, Sexy Leather Boot -
I brought these boots for my daughter for Christmas, 2007. Needless to say, she was very please with the boots. These boots are very stylish and cute. The only concern I have is that they are a tight around the ankles, and the zipper is hard to zip up and down. We are still trying them out around the house to see if with time it will be easier to zip up the boot, and whether or not the leather will stretch around the ankles. Hopefully they will work out because she really likes these boots.

Finally, a wide-calf boot with style!
I liked these boots so much that I bought a second pair a week later. They fit the foot well, and seem well-constructed. The leather in the ankle is a little stiff, but I expect that to relax with wear.

Fabulous. Super comfortable with a good fit for my large calves. Great look. They're quality leather so they breathe, and don't make you sweat while indoors. I went with a 1/2 size bigger than my normal and, while there's enough room to wear socks for warmth, they still feel good with stockings. Highly recommended.

Lovin' my new "hoochie" boots!
I can't say enough about these boots! There really isn't anything negative to report. The shaft is a teench loose on my 16" calves but that allows enough room to tuck pants in, should I find the courage to do so. They were a little tight around the instep but grew comfortable after only a few wears. I love being tall for a day!

I have searched high and low for leather boots that fit my big calves and finally I have found what I was looking for. They look good and are very comfortable. I normally wear a 9 1/2 but I ordered a 10 and they fit great.

I have huge (17") calves and can never find boots to fit. These worked perfectly. They're very comfortable and fit everywhere - calf, ankle and foot. I had them on for 6 hrs. the first time and my feet didn't hurt at all.

Great boots and great service!
These are beautiful boots. The leather is high quality and the calf measurements were perfect. I ordered the wide width and had plenty of room in the shoe. I did think the shock absorbing gel pad in the heel feels a little weird at first but I got used to it. My feet were tired after wearing them around the mall for a few hours, but I can't say I've ever worn 3" heels that I could take wearing for anywhere near that long. I tried wide-calf boots from several other websites, and ended up returning them all and ordering another pair from Zappos. None of the other places I ordered paid for any of the shipping either way and they took forever to ship and quality didn't compare to what I bought from Zappos.
