I love this style of boot. However, I was disappointed when they arrived due to the fit. They are not true to size. My calf is a size 17 and I could not zip the boot up all the way. I ended up giving them away as a Christmas present to my sister.

These boots are beautiful and are perfect for those who want a snug fit on calves. I have thin calves and don't fit into many high boots. They are very good quality for the price I paid. Look great with short skirts, long skirts and skinny jeans or leggings.

I chose this style because the entire back of the shaft appeared to be stretchy. When the boot arrived, I discovered the fabric didn't give. The zipper pull is hard to grasp and broke the first time I was trying to put the boot on. I was really disappointed in this boot. It seems like Calvin Klein boots have taken a significant dip in quality.

Love the boots. Fit was true to size. I wear trouser socks with them, not thick socks. Get lots of compliments.

These are beautiful boots. I have rather thin calves and am very tired of searching for riding boots that create a slouchy pirate look on me. These boots are form fitting, shiny, and a great dressy option in wet weather. The 8.5M size is true to the described fit and are very comfortable.

I ordered these boots hoping for a narrow calf but the size 10 has a 16" calf circumference. As the other reviewer said, the stretchy looking fabric is, in fact, not stretchy. :( If you are looking for narrow calf, try the Calvin Klein Tipper riding boot! It has the narrowest calf (14.5�) I have found in my exhaustive search. Perhaps the smaller sizes of the Tara have reasonable calf width, but the size 10 is ridiculous.

I couldn't wait for these boots to arrive in the mail! Zappos gave me next day shipping. I ordered these at 6 p.m. and they arrived the next day by 3 p.m. Amazing service. I agree with the other reviewers, you need to have relatively thin calves to fit into these boots. They were quite snug when I paired them with some skinny jeans tucked in. I also wore regular socks, making it a little tight for my feet, but not tight enough to cause it to be uncomfortable. If you like a little more room for your feet, I suggest ordering a half size up. The back fabric shaft does have a little give, but not much. Overall, a great buy for the price.

These are great boots! These are non-leather boots (great for a vegan like me) that look fantastic and are comfortable. Great price, too!

These boots looked even better in person. They fit true to size, very comfortable and they look great with leggings or jeans. One of my favorite pairs of boots.

I have little legs and was looking forward to the stretchy backs so they would form fit. Not the case, they're not stretchy at all. I would still recommend them though, they're pretty and not overly big around my calf. They're also quite comfortable to wear for a long period of time. The ribbed back makes them unique, too!

Kenneth Cole boys shoe - This is the second pair of Kenneth Cole dress shoes that I have purchased for my 2 year old son. Excellent quality and a great looking shoe. (Looks just like his daddy's). I would recommend this shoe.

"Big Boy Shoe" My three year old LOVES his new "church shoes" because they are so similar to those of his older brothers and Daddy. They look sharp, are easy on and off, and are comfortable and flexible. We attended an all day dressy event recently, and he was comfortable all day...

I love these shoes - they are so cute! I ordered them for my 5 1/2 year old son for his preschool graduation. According to my son, they are very comfortable. They are stylish, well made and true to size. I would definitely recommend them.

Great Toddler Dress Shoe - These shoes are great. The quality is superb and my son has ease putting them on himself. I'll buy another pair once he grows out of these.

SM review - Great dress/durable school shoe. My 4 y/o son loves the fact he doesn't need his shoes tied. Great velcro but "real-looking" buckle. Shoe size I ordered just fit.

This is a fabulous shoe! Finally a great shoe for a little boy and he wants to wear them all the time (even during the week). It's a relief that we don't have to struggle to put them on him when we get dressed up. Highly recommended!
