Great boots!
Stylish, comfortable, great boot for good or inclimate weather. I live in snow country, and these give me something "nice" to wear without taking any chances on icy sidewalks.

Finally - great look and fit!
The boots are well made and fit perfectly. They look great and one would never know they are for "wide calves". The leather is high quality and the back lacing is stylish. Took 4 pairs of boots but finally found the right one!

A true wide calf boot -
This boot nicely accommodates my large calves. I got a size 10, extra wide width, and they fit my 18" calves on the smallest lace-up setting, and they could get a lot bigger. I do need to wear heavy socks with them, and if a 9 1/2 had been available, that probably would fit better.

Great Value For Happy Feet -
Finally a boot for "shapely" legs. The adjustable back laces and elastic insets all combine for a perfect, comfortable fit. The "box" is deep enough to allow cushioned insoles without pinching pretty toes. New leather is always a bit stiff, so I recommend treating with a leather conditioner like saddle soap or Neet's foot oil to both soften and water-protect the leather.

Fashionable and Walkable -
These boots fit my size 14 foot perfectly. I road tested the boots and walked 3 miles without any discomfort. They are stylish and will be great for the inclement weather and cold climate where I live. I recommend these boots!

Nice boot -
It is a riding style, but the ankle is a little too roomy and can bunch up a bit. Otherwise, fits great and looks great. I followed other's advice and bought a wide width, though I am very definitely a medium width, and am glad I did. The medium width would have been far too small.

Gappy around the ankles -
I have a really hard time finding boots to fit my wide calves and these were the perfect solution. Because of the laces, they can expand even further. The only problem is that the ankle area is quite loose now, so I feel like I can only wear them with long pants.

Review of fall boots -
The boots are excellent nice soft leather, with a wide calf fit-the first pair of boots I have been able to wear in a long time since gaining some weight. Excellent fit and look.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: the clogs are great too!

I have large calves and am a true WW. Unlike some of the reviewers on here, I purchased an extra wide in order to fit my foot as well as my calf. It seems that the manufacturer knows that some people will be buying extra wide for their calves only and made them slightly narrower than a true extra wide. Without socks, which I want to wear with boots, they are a little too tight in the width. With socks, my little toe feels like it is going to fall off. Furthermore, they are at least an entire size too large lengthwise. Even with thick socks my foot is slipping up and down in the boot. I'm unsure if I will try them in a smaller size or not. I really need boots and will try several other styles to see if they are more comfortable before deciding on this one. I don't love them, and I expect that if I spend this much money on shoes they should be comfortable and attractive (these are a bit frumpy). Unfortunately, even with Zappos great selection, my options are limited.

Disappointing -
I thought it would be great to customize the fit. The cons: 1) The zipper is really stiff. I suspect it will break quickly. 2) The ankle is baggy to the point that its folds rub against my skin. I am aware that the ankle is never a tight fit in boots, but usually the extra material isn't painful.
The pros: 1) Foot was comfortable. 2) It fit my huge calf (17 inches with a size 6 foot - I bought the 6WW). 3) The "tongue" at the back is tacked at the top on one side so it won't fall down which I was afraid it might from reading other reviews.

Nice attractive boot, the adjustable back/ calf laces accommodated my wide calf 16in and suede pants without ordering the wide width (out of stock). Very pleased with purchase. Although, the zipper could be better quality. Its stiff and not very flexible.

Works for an extremely hard to fit calf -
Nice looking boot. I would like it better with a slightly higher heel. My calves are extremely wide, so none of the other wide calf boots worked for me. These did because of the laces in back, they could adjust even wider. I had to get the extra wide foot to get the calf width, so they're a little more roomy on the foot than I need, but I can work with that. I am happy just to be able to wear a fashionable high boot.

Cute lace ups -
Very cute boots, easy to tuck jeans into or look great with a skirt/dress. Nice to be able to fine tune the sizing with the lace-up ties in the back.

I purchased this boot to wear on a trip to Europe. It has great looks, is comfortable and easy to put on and off. Once you adjust the strings for a perfect fit on your legs, you tie them and then use the zipper. So you don't have to mess with the strings each time.

These boots are really cute. They are stylish and sheik. They are made very nicely. On a personal note they slouch at the ankle and look scrunched. They fit nicely.

Loved Them!
I have very large calves (actually need 23 inch around) and large ankles that I rarely can fit straps around. I also wear 11w which is hard enough to find... I ordered the 11ww and they were perfect! The extra width made the ankles fit better. Finally a knee-high boot that fits.

Nice Boot -
I like this boot. Comfortable. Cute. I ordered wide and it fit very nicely, especially around my calf, which doesn't fit in regular. Would have liked to see better quality of leather for the money but I still like it.

Great Boots -
Fit beautifully, look fabulous! Truly wide-calf as advertised. I have small but very wide feet which are hard to fit, but these boots fit perfectly and are absolutely true to size.

First pair of boots in a long time -
I hadn't looked for boots in a long time. Have a somewhat large calf, but am sort of like goldilocks, I guess - wide calf boots too big and regular boots too snug. These boots work. I also have a wide foot. They are comfortable and look nice. I'm not particularly fond of the laces, but these were the only boots out of the 5 or so pairs I tried that fit ok. The ankle is saggy (and tightening the laces doesn't correct the problem) and the sole is a bit thin. But the leather is nice and I am glad I found them.

Very happy -
I have never been able to find a tall boot that would fit my wide calves. Since Zappos gives the measurements I thought I would take a chance on these. I could not believe it when I tried them on and the zipper went all the way up easily. I do not do well with heels but this nice wide heel feels very stable and comfortable. I am so happy to finally have a pair of boots! Thank you Zappos!

FINALLY!
These boots are what I've been looking for a few years now. Although I'm not crazy about the lace-up back since it sort of dresses down the look, and the tongue under the laces in the back is unattached on both sides, they are just the right heel height with a hard-to-find 13WW fit. For a WW, though, the rounded toe doesn't give me quite the room I was hoping for because of my own boxy toe span (a problem specific to me), but the instep is great and the boots are comfortable for 8 hours' work.

 |  | I just wanted to say that Zappos.com has completely changed my perspective of online shopping. I've always been wary of doing it, thinking of all the shipping charges and problems that undoubtedly arise if I want to return something (not to mention possible scams), but Zappos has completely changed all of this for me. I heard about Zappos early 2007 when I bought myself a pair of Converse. Ever since then, I've been so impressed with the constant effort Zappos puts in to make sure every customer is satisfied, that I now try to buy everything from Zappos before I'm forced to look elsewhere. I always used to buy electronics from another store, but now I try to purchase them from Zappos, seeing as you guys are starting to carry them (which is a big plus for me, a HUGE tech junkie). I can't tell you how much I appreciate the effort of your great customer service employees and also how you guys still haven't changed your 365 day policy and free shipping both ways
even though you're starting to become pretty famous now. I plan to remain a Zappos.com customer for many years yet! ZAPPOS ROCKS!!! |  | ~ , August 28 2008
