Better than expected - This boot is considerably more comfortable than I expected. The leg is generous without being too large (zipper doesn't pinch the calves). The heel is lovely. Great boot at a lovely price.

GREAT BUY!! I am very impressed with these boots, and the Zappos customer service! The boots are very cute and comfortable, simple yet elegant! I'm somewhat tall and the heel is the perfect height!

Skinny legs - I loved everything about the boots, but I have to return them-- but, not because there's anything wrong with the boots. In fact, I've kept them in the box and have looked at them daily because I love the look; texture and size of heel so much. The problem is, if you have skinny legs, these boots tend to look like wading boots at the knee, (they are too wide at the top) and just don't look right on me. These boots are only for women with shapely calves and are not for those with skinny legs and boney knees.

Best boot in the West - This boot is the most comfortable of all the boots I owned. After receiving the first pair, I order a second in a different color - I LOVE THEM!

Comfort and looks in a pair of boots... who knew? - I recently purchased these boots which were delivered overnight with no shipping or handling fees. Can't beat that. They are very comfortable from the moment you put them on. Can be worn with both jeans or a skirt and look great.

Very comfortable - I wore these boots for the first time to a party where I stood and danced most of the night. They were stylish and my feet never hurt. I have a wide foot and never expected them to feel good. I love these boots! I didn't like the sheen on the black ones or I'd have them too!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THESE BOOTS - Thanks Zappos! Wonderful boots that fit perfectly. Great price as well and am very impressed with fast shipping and nice packaging. I have slender calves and these look perfect. Will be ordering again!

Glossary - Zappos is great! Ladies, if you check the glossary, you'll find that the circumference is what you need to read.

Nice boots I wish they fit - They are just okay - I want the "gorgeous" boots that cost more but they just won't fit me. I mean, are other people's calves so small that adding an inch (and not much give) qualifies these as "wide calf"? I haven't decided whether to return them yet because I can zip them with great difficulty over tights but with even skinny jeans - forget it.

They gotta go back - Yep -- not a 16 inch calf -- if they were then they'd be perfect. So they're going back.

I bought these for both my mother and grandmother and they can't say enough good things about them. Well made and very comfortable. Good alternative to Uggs.

Liked looks of boot but did not fit. I usually take a size 7 1/2 but would like an 8. I didn't see a size 8, only a 9, I don't think that will work. I would like a boot slipper to keep my legs warm, but couldn't find any that were in my price range.

I love these boots! I don’t even have to wear socks! I have to work outside sometimes and even without socks my feet were the only thing warm on me! I am going to get another pair...I wear them to work daily here for the COLD Montana winters!

These tall boots are very cute and fit well in the foot. However, I have extremely skinny ankles and calves, so they looked too bulky on me. They have to go back. If you've got a bigger ankle and calf area - these are the boots for you. Thanks Zappos - I ordered 7 pair of shoes/boots at 2:30 PM CST Thursday and they were sitting on my doorstep the next afternoon.

Best "Old Friends" I've been an "Ugg" wearer for many years, and love them. However, I bought a pair of "Old Friend" boots a year ago, and love them even more than my Uggs. They have a good gripping sole, and fit a bit tighter around my ankles and average-sized lower calves, which keeps my feet warmer. The pair I bought still look new despite wearing them in the rain several times. They are red, and have kept their color without fading. My daughter loves her new black O.F., and likes that the black color inside stops at her ankle, then is white, so the color does not come off on her feet. I highly recommend these!

Am happy with my Old Friends - I didn't realize Old Friends made a boot. I have been wearing Old Friends slippers for years, and to be honest the reason I bought them is because I thought they had the look of Ugg boots, and planned on wearing them with jeans. I got myself and also my daughter a pair, I told her that you can't really tell they're slippers when you wear them with jeans. She kinda pooh poohd me about wearing them with jeans out and around, not just around the house. But I don't consider myself a trend setter or follower so I have been wearing my Old Friends for years, out and about. I have had several pairs over the years, and now I see people wearing slippers out and about all the time! And my daughter is one of them! I still wear my slippers out but now I also have something that covers my whole foot. I have to say I love em. And have also had several comments on them and how cute they are.

Great. Better than my Uggs! I really love these boots and this brand as a whole. I’ve bought two pairs of shoes from them. The sheepskin is just as soft or softer than my Ugg boots. They are made better, too!

True to size? I ordered the black and brown in these boots in different sizes, an 11 brown for one daughter and a 9 black for the other daughter. In both I ordered a 1/2 size larger than they actually wear. The 11 boot was fine and fit as I had imagined. The 9 was TOO small, so I returned and ordered a 10, it fit exactly like the 9, too short/small. I had to return it also and now have to wait until they are credited to my account before I can get another size/pair. This is inconvenient as my daughter is desperately wanting to wear them. I am hopeful that the next order/size will fit. My younger daughter loves her brown boots and they appear to be of excellent quality.

Stiff in boots - Sole of this boot does not bend. It is warm but not waterproof.

I don't have this exact style of Old Friend boots, but the pair I bought last year (on Zappos) I can no longer wear. I love them, but cannot wear them. They are good quality, warm, felt a little bigger than the usual size. The reason I can't wear them is the seam rubs me right below my ankle and any time I wear them for longer than a trip to the mailbox and I get a blisters. Oh well!
