Customers Say

Customers appreciate these riding boots for their classic style, comfort, and quality, noting they can wear them all day without discomfort and are made beautifully. The leather is soft and buttery, and customers like that they zip up well over jeans. The fit receives mixed feedback, with some finding the calf size perfect while others say they run narrow. Durability is also mixed, with some saying they hold up well while others report issues with the back zipper sticking.

Review for Zappos VIP Points (What's this?)

The shaft on these definitely fit a wider calf (I'm a size 7.5 with a 17" calf) and they zip up. With jeans under they'd be snug but would still zip up. The reason I'm returning is that I feel they look a little sloppy--I knew this would be a risky purchase because the leather looks very soft in the photos, but I was hoping the fit would be so great that I could overlook it. Added to this, the asymmetrical shaft is annoying. Why is it so hard for boot makers to make a legitimately wide shaft TALL boot that hits at the knee, in a smooth, firm leather? I want to look like I've stepped out of a Ralph Lauren ad and I'm about to go do dressage on my horse, tall boot! I can't be the only lady out there wanting this look. Sigh...the perfect boot search continues...

I have 15½" calfs, these boots have about a 16" circumference and I loved how they looked with tights and skinny jeans because the boots were not snug with my legs. However, these boots run narrower around the feet than most boots that I have tried on. I am typically a M and I would want a W in these. Additionally, it is hard to tell in the photo, but the toes are pretty pointed, which leaves about half an inch of room for your toes and can make your feet look long. Ordering a size down would not be an option because they are still too narrow. If you are going to order these boots, order them in a W and half a size down. Coming from a size 9½, 15½" circumference, with average feet. These boots are beautiful. I wish they would have worked out!

I loved the look of these boots. I've never had to purchase a wide calf boot before. I never really thought I have wide calves but I guess I do! These weren't super wide; there was plenty of room but not so much that it looks bad. My issue with these boots is how narrow the foot is! I have average to wide feet but usually can get away with a regular width shoe or boot. These were horribly uncomfortable. And the heel felt really hard and uncomfortable. I am so disappointed. I loved the look of these boots but sadly they just were not a fit so they have been returned.

I thought I needed the wide calf after trying my size, 7½M, in the regular Penny boots, which I nearly died trying to zip those over my 16" calf! But this wide calf version is really wide! I tried these in both the 7.5M and the 7W, but the width was still too much even in a half size down. If you like to have a very pronounced gap around your calf then these are for you. Or if you plan to regularly wear these over jeans, then these will work. But just over leggings or over tights these made me and my 5'1" stature look like Puss in Boots! Even at 16" my calves were swimming in these. They are beautiful and comfortable, but in the end I got the regular Penny boots in a half size up, 8M, which gave me the extra half inch in the calf I needed and I will just need slightly thicker socks to fill the foot bed a smidge.

Fits my 17” calf perfectly (after breaking them in) with a small gap at the top. The whiskey color was a bit off, so I bought leather darkening oil and treated them, now I love them. The toe is a bit long which can make your feet look bigger. Considering another pair in black. Photos show before and after oil treatment.
