These are super comfortable! I loved the black so much that I ordered the gray, which unfortunately was hard to match my wardrobe. I wear these for hours- dressed up or down. My favorite boots!

I loved these boots! I was looking for a stylish boot that would fit my narrow calf. These did that! (I have submitted this review already but made the mistake of not marking these as 5 stars, and they definitely are.

LOVE THEM! I've been shopping for comfortable boots I can wear to work and be on my feet for many hours that also fit my skinny calves for a year now... decided on Aetrex Essence Chelsea based on other reviews and so happy I did. I love the Charcoal color, very versatile and the sweater material is a hard to describe grey/black/brown so it matches anything. I've worn them every day for a week and they are so comfortable and just the right amount of arch support. I usually am between a 6.7 and 7, I ordered 6.5 and they are a perfect fit. Work great with leggings and skinny jeans.

Love these. I have small calves so every time I purchase boots I have to spend another $90 to have them taken in. These fit me perfect. Look great and super comfortable.

Great for slim calves! They're taken some getting used to for me, so I can't give them a 5 start rating on comfort, but they look great and seem to be breaking in slowly but surely.

Like others said, these are great boots for narrow calves! It took me awhile to find a pair of boots that actually fit my calves and I love these.They're pretty comfortable but a little stiff around the ankle. I'm hoping that breaking them in a bit more (I just got them) will fix that issue. Also, if you have narrow feet, you may need a heel pad.

This is a great versatile boot! I have thin calves and have a hard time finding boots that fit. This boot was comfortable right out of the box and is perfect for jeans or pairing with a dress or skirt. Love this boot!

Love these boots! Finally, a boot for gals with skinny calves! I've measured my calves and they're about 12.5"at the widest point, so my spaghetti legs swim in most boots. These fit the best of any I've ever had. I plan to order more in different colors. Returning the 9.5 as I need a 10 in these, but I'm usually between a 9.5 and a 10 (more 10 than 9.5, but I ordered them both to try)

Really cute boot. Loved it more in person. The shaft is narrow on your calf. Very nice looking boot! Feels and looks great on.

Definitely a boot for the petite slim woman. At 5'2" it is very difficult to find a tall boot that doesn't have a big gap in the side or come to my knees. These are just right. They look great in pants and skirts. Love them! I'm not sure about how they will wear, they could have more footbed support, but they aren't bad. I love the dull black, rather than shiny.

great for narrow calves and very supportive footbed. normally wear 8-8.5 and ordered the 8. It was snug with socks. should be perfect with tights. Heel is on the stiffer side but I find that supportive. Seems to scuff easily.

I loved these. The distressed gray and sweater-y material on the back is very cute and casual. The foot was a little roomy but would be ok with thick socks. I have a very narrow calf and these were acceptable- not the most narrow I've tried but I would have worn them. In the end, I returned only because I couldn't afford them and the other pair I wanted. Maybe another time!

I purchased these for a trip to New York City this fall. I have a pair of Born boots that always feel good on my feet but since I do not do the kind of walking on a day to day basis that I was planning to do on vacation, I wanted to find something else for the trip. I loved the way they felt upon first trying them on and hoped they would be good for long days and lots of walking. I made the right choice! I wore them for three days straight in the city and my feet never once hurt. They did get tired which would be expected. I was very pleased with them. The short zipper did make it a littler harder than I am used to to get my jeans smooth inside the boot but it did not bother me too much. The style is very classy and looked great with both my boots and leggings. I was very happy with them!

I spent a whole day in these boots as soon as they arrived and they were as comfortable as if I'd been wearing them for months! Very snug fit and they have a half zipper on the side, so I had a little trouble tucking my pants into them. Finally figured how to just put socks OVER the pant legs, then step into the boot. Great style, great fit, beautifully constructed boot.

Love these boots! I wore them right out of the box for the entire day and my feet have never felt better! I have small calves and these fit perfectly. I have told all my friends to try them and they wont regret it. I hope they come out with more syles soon...I will be first in line to buy them.

Calf was much wider than expected making the fit unattractive for me since I have very small calves. The added fabric in the back cheapened the boot and had a tendency to collect lint (quite unattractive). I had to return this one.

Very comfortable. Was able to walk long durations right out of the box. A little shorter than some other tall boots, but I found that I liked the height. Fabric back is stretchy so that jeans and pants will fit inside boot.

This is a great, stylish boot. I have smaller calves and this boot fits perfect. I have waited a long time to find such a wonderful pair of boots. The fabric and leather are a nice contrast.

After trying on 9 pairs of boots the Aetrex Essence Chelsea won against the Cole Haan Jodhpur Boot because of the mold able foot bed.

Aetrex Essence shoes fit my foot very well so I decided to try the boots. I did need to return them for the next larger size than I wear in their shoes. These boots are as comfortable as the shoes. I have a larger calf and the stretch fabric works very well for adjusting to calf size. They look great.

I loved these boots, and the size 9 fit perfectly. BUT: the calf was at least 2" too narrow. I had measured my calf before ordering, an followed the guidelines that said a regular calf would fit. I needed a wide calf and now they're all out of stock. :(

Love how they look on me! I have pretty wide toes and narrow feet, I got the M (B) and half-expected to have to return these, but the toe box is actually wide enough for me. Sadly they're not very comfortable, but good enough to get me through the day.
