I have the fattest calves on the planet -- step class, dancing, running -- it's insane! And I can never find a tall boot that works. Until now. These boots are awesome. They're so awesome that I ordered a second pair after I received my black ones. Brown on their way to me!

These are good for the girl who just needs an extra inch or two in the calf area but not the ankle or width in the foot. They deliver the effortless look of slim and sleek we love. Plus they are comfortable and waterproof.

I love these boots, but they run big. I would order 1 size smaller. They are not water proof. They need to be sprayed, but I love them.

These boots fit perfectly and they look really great. I find myself grabbing them to wear often. I like the sleek look. I have had several compliments so far and I don't think you will be disappointed in them.

Love this boot! I was in search of a wide width wide calf boot in black leather and it's very difficult to find. I am 5'2", have wide feet and 16.5" calves and these are perfect! I wore them every single day for 2.5 weeks in Europe and they were so comfy & kept my toes dry! I wore them with leggings, jeans and tights; very versatile boot. If you've had a difficult time finding a great boot like I did, buy these! You will not be disappointed! Hope this helps!

Really disappointed. The boots are beautiful but very small in the shaft. I am a 17 inch calf and it would not begin to zip.

Absolutely love this boot. I have a hard to fit foot, these are so comfortable, put them on right out of the box and wore all day with no problem. For me this was the perfect boot, the wide calf, waterproof, comfort etc.

These are hands down my favorite boots ever. They are soft leather and super comfortable. I've got about 10 pair (eek!) of boots but I wear these practically every day. Just enough support for my high arches, and they're nice and tall too. Just enough style to be really versatile. I got an 8.5 and there's lots of room for thick wool socks, so they might run a little big. They keep me nice and dry on long dog walks in rainy Seattle.

I have pretty wide calves and could never find boots that fit. If they did fit around my calves, they were too big in the shoe width..etc. Lots of large calf boots look... Awkward. Without being dramatic, boots are a sort of classic fashion "right of passage" for women. And I could not experience that rite. Until now. These boots took me all over Europe, miles of walking, stairs and a knee injury. Perfection. They look dressy but not too fancy. Cute with dresses, pants, leggings. One stranger freaked out about how pretty my Gucci boots were! (I laughed and said thanks...didn't want to burst her bubble!) I am buying them in the brown too.

The best boot ever! Good fit with tucked in jeans and very classy looking. Seems to give the illusion of height and slenderness to the legs.

I LOVE these boots. First off, they are just beautiful, they are a classy, expensive looking pair. I also love that I could get them in the 10.5 size. Very few manufacturers offer this size and they are great! Good, great, Wonderful purchase!

I tried several boots including the FRYES (which I love) but these guys turned out to be the perfect boot for me. The wide calf PLUS the stretchy corridor behind the boot makes for THE PERFECT FIT (even if I eat salty food and swell up during the day!). This boot is a "NO BRAINER". I highly recommend it! Deb

These boots are super comfortable. The stretch in the back of the boot are perfect for larger calves! This is the second pair I have ordered.

Wow...these boots are amazing. As a runner, my lower calf is bigger than most, but my upper calf does not quite qualify as wide. Because these boots have a stretch panel at the back, they fit perfectly. Really recommend for taller women that have problems finding the right fit!

Best riding boot I have ever owned. I have wider calves but when I usually buy wide calf boots, they are too big. These were perfect because of the stretch fabric down the back of the boot. I also love the fact that they are a dull finish (not shiny). I have gotten a ton of compliments on them already. Great casual boot!

These boots would not zip over my mega calves. So sad because these were great boots. I ordered a half size(8 1/2) larger than I wear in a regular shoe to allow for socks and I think they would have been perfect. The leather was not a glossy leather which is what I wanted. Very well made. Sure wish they would have worked for me.

I have never ever in my life been able to find tall boots that zip up over my calves. These boots are a dream come true! I am 5'9 and wear a dress size 12. These boots hit me about two inches below my knee, and look amazing! Not only that, they are made by Adidas and feel like you're wearing a pair of sneakers. Furthermore, they are waterproof. I bought the black and am now purchasing the brown! Do not look any further and these are your boots for the season!

This boot is really sharp. I ordered my usual size 10 M, and the foot part of the boot fit very well and was comfortable. I had to return, though, as the wide-calf was too wide for me. There was a gap of an inch or more at the outside top of the boot and it didn't look good (I could stick my hand down inside the boot.) I read so many reviews for this boot trying to discern whether I should buy the regular size or the wide-calf. I decided on the wide-calf after reading a review from a woman who had the same calf measurements as mine (one leg is 16" and the other is 15 1/2"). She said the wide-calf fit her perfectly. On me, they gaped so badly at the top that they reminded me of big pirate boots, but when I put my hand in the back of the boot behind my calf the extra space was taken up and the boot looked really good. So, I just ordered the regular shaft boot in the Brownie Brown (beautiful, rich color), and hope it fits better. For anyone who might be interested, the very top of the boot shaft on the 10 M measures 17 1/2" around and is 18" tall from the bottom of the instep to the top of the boot. It hit just below my knee and angles down slightly lower in the back. Love the boots.

These are beautiful boots and I did not want to return them. I am 5'3" and the shaft is just an inch or so too tall for me. It hits too high on my leg and is uncomfortable. I am so sad, as the quality of the boot is excellent, and they fit great.

I just received this boot yesterday so I cannot comment on durability or comfort wearing for long periods of time but I will say that they are beautiful boots. They come exactly as pictured. Color was great (nice dark brown). I am not always too confident when ordering shoes without trying them on first but these were a perfect fit! Very true to size. I would definitely recommend this boot to anyone interested.

I was very disappointed in these boots. They looked and felt like rubber boots, not leather. Considering the manufacturer and the price, I expected better quality.

I was looking for a comfy black boot, after a long shopping trip in Chicago showed that my current "comfies" were imposters! It's not easy for me to find a good fit in boots - since I have long legs and wide calves and wear size 10.5. These not only fit, they are comfortable after a long day on my feet, and are really cute too. They have a bit of a rain boot look - but with all the sloshing around in ice and snow we do in Wisconsin, that works. A bit more money than I typically spend for a boot, but well worth it.

LOVE these boots. I've had the brown ones about 3 wks. I wore them 12 hrs. the first day, NO problem. Every bit as nice as they look, great quality, crazy comfortable. I bought them in black this week. Great to get them on sale!
