A great buy - I absolutely love these boots. The gel sole is so comfortable they feel better than my gym shoes. They have a normal calf shape, unlike some wide calf boots that curve out awkwardly at the calf. Quality construction and leather. I've had them for a year and they still look new. Great as a city snow boot. Would buy in another color if they weren't always out of stock!

These are great boots. Definitely order them at least half a size smaller. I usually wear between a 7.5 and an 8. I ordered them in a 7 and they fit great. If you have larger calves, these are great boots. The one flaw I see with them is the "shiny" part on the back of the calf is not leather but that stretchy pleather stuff, which always wears out quickly. Overall, a great pair of boots!

TOTALLY worth every single penny!! I first heard about these boots about 8 months ago when I was researching wide calf boots...I looked at them, and looked at them, and did some other comparisons, and finally, last week, I decided to go for it. I have to say, if you EVER buy any pair of boots, you need to buy these! I bought the brown suede, and as soon as I get a bit more money, I'm going to buy a black pair as well. These boots really are incredible...I'm 5'9" and they come almost up to my knee...the color on the brown suede is actually a little lighter than in the picture, but they are just gorgeous! I am SO glad that I bought these!! I truly couldn't be happier. =o)

Better than black RSVP Emmily - I ordered the Black Suede RSVP Emmily and Fitzwell Frantic Wide calf boots. Yes, they are the exact same boot (clearly made on the same factory line, the frantic just has extra decorative stitches). The Emmily looks like a tall black sock to me. Kinda gross. The frantic was boot looking; it has a tan stitch around the bottom, separating your eye line from the sole so it doesn't look like a sock. There are also decorative jean style white lines, which are not as bright as in the online photos. These white lines look natural and great from a distance. I would have kept the Frantic but this boot runs slightly large in the foot bed. I am a wide 8.5 or regular 9 with an 18" calf. The 8.5 fits perfectly...unfortunately they were sold out of 8.5 in Frantic. Additionally, I own the identical boot in tan with the bows (listed under RSVP, forget the style name) and I wear them every day and constant compliments. I think the bow on the ankle is a good idea because the ankle room on all these is very roomy so the boot slouches. I have very fat calves and, yes, there is still slouch. With the ankle bow ties, the slouch makes sense. Without decoration on this boot, the only notable thing is slouching around the ankles, so think about that when you buy them.

I just received these boots overnight - even though I chose the free 4-5 day shipping. The boots are cute and comfy, and easy to put on and take off. However, I was hoping they would have the shearling lining all the way through, like Uggs do - but they don’t. I didn’t find them to be as warm and cozy as I would have liked, so I have decided to return them and go with some Uggs instead. Also, they felt a little loose with regular cotton socks on - slipped on my heel a bit. I am a solid 6 1/2, but they felt more like a 7. The good news is that customer service was super helpful, and they arranged an exchange to be shipped next business day!
