I can't believe there aren't any reviews on this boot, it's so cute and well made with durable leather, leather lining and a good sole! It comes up about 3 inches below my knee, slightly above the widest part of my calf (making my legs look thinner and longer). I'm 5'1 with thinnish ankles and athletic calves -- no problem with the shaft circumference, by the way (not on the largest setting, either). I love the casual-cowboyish-motorcycle boot look. I have trouble being short because some boot shafts are too high; and the ones that are too low (and fitted) are not flattering for my build -- they make my legs taper to little bitty feet in a disproportionate way. I don't normally plunk down this much money for shoes, but since I've problem feet, I've had to be more discerning. I'm about a 6.5W (my feet are wide in the front and I have a slightly high instep). Plantar fasciitis and ankle/neuroma surgeries have prompted the need for well fitting, supportive, stable, but comfortable shoes -- and
orthotics. Kind of hard to find given my short/wide feet, especially for something decent looking, right? Hooray! My search is over! I love these. These are super cute and they fit great! I bought a 7 and don't have an issue with pressure on the outside of my feet (really really important because of residual pain from surgery). And of course Zappos has been wonderful during my quest. (Sorry this is so long, but detailed reviews really help me and save money for Zappos for shipping costs on returns -- which save y'all money on their products.) If you're thinking about it, give 'em a try!
