I wanted to not like this boot since it's more than I wanted to pay, but it was just too nice to pass up. Plush lining, comfortable sole, and not baggy in the calf area. I have a 13.5" calf and it fits perfectly -- enough room for skinny jeans and not baggy with tights. The toe is round which I wanted. And I can walk for miles even in the rain. I say better to have one really nice boot than two that are just okay.

I tried on so many boots in various stores...either uncomfortable or boot calf too wide or just a bad fit. I really hesitated getting these, not only because of the price but because I knew I wanted to be able to walk a lot in them and I knew I couldn't spend a whole day wearing them before I decided. I took the plunge. They are a perfect fit, true to size, and I wore them all day with no discomfort at all...even on an airplane! Yea!

Best boots ever! Especially for small calves. I am not a small person, 5' 7", about 135 lbs, but my calves measure small at 13.5 inches. I still have a bit of room to tuck jeans or riding pants in, but they are tight enough on bare legs or with tights as well. They are so comfortable! I have been shopping for months, looked at over 600 pairs of boots, ordered and returned several. I thought this was going to be another letdown and they are so perfect! They feel and look like very classy, very high quality boots. I have been on the La Canadienne website looking for more colors to order. These are fantastic!

I think styles are very personal. But if you are looking for boots that fit small calves, try this one out. My calves are 12.5", 5'7", size 7 shoes. They fit well with skinny or even bootleg jeans. Roomier than I thought, with socks on, I was comfortable with size 7. They actually keep your feet quite warm, so no need for thick socks. The leather is a bit shiny. Moderate traction soles. So give it a shot!

These Stefanie boots are by far the best boots I have ever purchased. I ordered countless boots this winter, returned countless boots and these were the very best fitting for my size 11 feet, slightly narrow foot and calf. The calf is not "super" skinny but is not huge and bulging out, but nice and slim. There is room to fit in your skinny jeans or leggings with a nice "straight" fit. Also, so comfortable. Love these.

My long-long search is over. I am so happy I found these boots. Finally, something that looks good on thin calves. I have tried, well, around 15 pairs this season, and almost settled for something else; but these are way better, by the fact that they are waterproofed. I normally wear 7.5, but in this brand I have to buy 7. I am petite 5'2' 110 lbs.

First of all, let me just say that I absolutely love La Canadienne boots! They generally fit great, are waterproof, are very stylish, are made from very high quality materials, and with great workmanship. When I needed a new boot this season that would do me well as both a dress and waterproof boot, I went to La Canadienne first and found the Stephanie. A gorgeous boot that got me numerous compliments when I wore them to the office. Since I live and work in NYC, I spend a great deal of my time walking from place to place (home to train, to subway, to office, and out and about all the time). I wanted one boot that would keep me warm and ry in the winter those times I wear skirts and dresses, but which I was actually comfortable walking in. With a little adjustment, these fit the bill perfectly. I did have to size up, which is standard for me with La Canadienne. I normally wear a perfect 8, but got an 8 1/2 in these and that provided the little bit of extra wiggle room I like in a boot. My only caveat is that the footbed and sole are rather hard and a little thin and one feels the bumps of the pavement more. This is an issue for me as I have bony and arthritic feet, which require more cushioning. I finally solved this problem by adding a Dr. Scholl's gel insert to add cushioning (yes, I AM gellin'!). Which is why it was good that I ordered the half size up. Now they are perfect and I'm walking from hill to dale!

No shoe or boot is ever likely to have adequate arch support for me. I inserted an inexpensive gel arch support in these and it still feels lacking, but made it much more comfortable. In fact, I had returned a pair of Tall Melissa Frye boots and then tried these and I'm so glad I did. These are as comfortable and beautiful as I could hope for in a tall boot. I have problem feet and these boots are so comfortable, I often forget that.

This boot is one of the best boots I have found for quality, comfort and looks. I have a slim calf and these boots do not bulge out in the calf, but fit nicely on my leg with room for skinny jeans and still looks slim and stylish. Go for them. I take a size 11 and they fit perfectly with comfort.

OMG! These boots are so beautiful and comfortable! I was looking for leather, something that would withstand wet weather. I saw that these boots were water resistant and thought I would give them a try. The black suede is so rich looking and rain drops just bead off. I love these boots! I wear a size 7.5 or 8 (more often an 8), ordered a 7.5 cause they were out of size 8 and they fit perfect.

These boots fit really well - pretty true to size. They fit nice and snug around my ankle and leg - perfect for tucking in my skinny jeans. There is no gap around my calf which I can't stand on most boots. Wish the shaft was 1 inch taller but it's fine they way they are.

I love these. They are gorgeous, comfortable and practical. What more could you ask for. They are pricey, but I rationalized that they are taking the place of what would have been two pairs - one for looks and one for weather. So if you need a rationalization to spend this kind of cash on boots, there you go. They are slightly snug around the calf, but I have fairly slim calves and I can wear them with skinny jeans. They are not very cushy on the bottom so you may need a gel insole.

I bought these boots last Fall. I had looked long and hard for nice, quality riding boots. Finally, I found them. I was a little hesitant about the price, but decided to go for it. Well, I can't say enough about these boots. With the very harsh winter we had and all the snow, these boots performed great. Never had to wear heavy socks, my feet were always warm. The waterproofing is superb. They look great with skirts. I have received many compliments.

I normally don't pay this much for boots, but I have narrow calves (13") and this was one of the few narrower riding boot options available. I was also willing to pay more since they are reportedly waterproof, which will be a bonus in Michigan winters. After receiving these boots I'm satisfied that they're a good value for the price. The leather is high quality, they're lined with a cushy-soft fabric that is ultra comfortable, and the styling is fashionable. The calf circumference works for me - they're perfect with skinny jeans, but I'd be swimming in them with tights.

Love these boots! I am hard to fit, because I have a bunion, so I can't wear much in the way of heels, and need space up front. But I still care about looking stylish and it ain't easy! These boots were comfortable almost immediately (Hint, they get more comfortable after they warm up and shape to your foot, so keep them on for 20 minutes before you make up your mind). Leather is supple but not thin, feels like quality. The shaft is narrow; I have slim calves, and I can just barely zip these over skinny jeans (easier over leggings, but still quite snug). Style-wise, they're a good medium and can wear with skirts or jeans. They're a little more interesting because of the strap, and are a classic style that I expect to wear for years. The toe is slightly more rounded than I thought from photos, but still looks nice on, but it keeps them from being a little dressier. I love that they're water proof, so I can look good in bad weather! I'd worried that they would be hot, but they aren't (and I'm prone to being too warm) and they're just right in almost every category! Worth the cost!

These boots are pretty much exactly what I was looking for. So far, they are indeed waterproof. I wore them in a rain storm recently and my feet stayed dry. However, my feet did get a little cold. If you want to wear them in extreme cold, I would say buy them a little big so you can wear thick socks. But they are great for city winters, and mean I don't have to wear rain boots or ugly snow boots to work, but can be protected from the snow by presentable footwear. They are ever so slightly tight around my calves, which measure in circumference pretty much exactly what the boot measures. I am hoping that the leather will continue to stretch out a bit. I can wear stockings or leggings and manage to zip them up. I still think they were a bit pricey, but I don't know if you can get anything of the same quality for less.

I absolutely love these boots and I am not a boot person. I looked high and low for a comfortable, yet stylish riding boot. These boots are it. Comfortable to walk in all day. Your feet don't sweat in them. Most of all I like that the leather is waterproof so the boots are very practical, as well as, stylish. Oh, I have received numerous compliments.

I really wanted to keep these boots but alas, my legs are just a little too short and my "athletic" calves make the boots pinch just a little too much. I will have to send them back. Other than the calf issue, I like the style, comfort, durability and waterproofness. My calf is about 14.5 inches around (37cm).

It looks like vinyl! And it has a very visible, rather loosely-stitched seam right up the front center. I expect better for the price. Also, I wear an 8, but the size 8 in this was too short on my foot. Also the circumference was barely 14", outside measure, whereas the Zappos notes said it was 14 3/4". Even allowing that the Zappos notes are based on a size 8 1/2, there's no way this boot would fit someone with a 14" calf measurement.

These are beautiful boots, leather, style, weatherproof, they have it all, plus they are very comfortable. I just have really skinny calves. They were almost right, but still stood out a bit even over jeans, bummer! I am never going to find boots that are skinny enough. I am 5'9" and wear a size 11.

Love the boots. Extremely nice leather, beautiful. Unfortunately, a little too tight for my calves with pants. I figured they would be, but I was hopeful and my calves are average. If you have really skinny legs, you can wear these!

Comfortable right out of the box. If you have larger calves you might find them a a bit tough to zip at first. Lightweight, warm, and stylish enough not too look like a rain boot. So many rain and snow boots have a lugged sole which makes them practical but... These are expensive but my experience with this brand is that they last.

These are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. I had them on for 10 hours the first time wearing them. My feet still felt great at the end of the day. These boots are worth every penny.

Loved this boot; however, the size 10 not fit like my other La Canadienne size 10, which puzzled me. The buckle on the side and the hardware at the top add the right amount of pizazz so that the boot does not look so severe.
