Customer Reviews Rockport Tristina Gore Tall Waterproof Boot - Wide Calf

I've worn the boots twice (so I can't say how they'll last!) but I like them a lot. I have wide calves and they fit well -- even over legging jeans, which I have never been able to do before! The ankle is quite wide too though, I'd rather have the ankle slimmer since I just have wide calves. This does allow me to wear boot cut jeans under the boots, folded in at the ankle. Although I won't do that often. As a result of the loose ankle, it does slouch a bit rather than looking crisp and straight all the way to the knee. The leather is nice and soft and feels durable (and these are one of the few full grain leather boots I could find!) but the stain doesn't seem perfect -- I noticed a little lighter scratched spot, and scratched next to it to see what it took. And it does lose color easily. I don't think I mind that at the moment, since it will make the boots look worn and weathered and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. But if they "age" in an ugly way then I will contact the company, because I don't think that it is necessarily supposed to do that. The foot part seems true to size, I wear a 10 in almost every other brand (Clarks, Naturalizer, Merrell, etc.) and these boots fit just like those.

I adore these. I had ordered a different pair of boots and sent them back. These were an investment, but they will be part of my closet for years. Comfortable and classy!

These arrived today (ordered them yesterday) and I love them! Have been looking for a great pair of everyday boots for years and these are the ones! I am 4'11" and have fat calves and these fit great! Unfortunately noticed that the boots are cheaper today than they were yesterday, but other than that they are perfect.

Excellent boot for those athletes among us who have big calves and can't find high boots that fit. I tried many and this was the first one that worked AND looked good. Super comfortable with a good amount of stretch in the leather.

Great riding boot! I have larger calves and It is quite hard to find boots that fit and boots that fit over your jeans. These boots did just that! They fit, they're comfortable, they are stylish! A bit on the expensive side, but well worth the extra cost. I especially like the squishy footbed!

These are fabulous! So stylish and expensive looking not to mention conformable. I have a 17-17.5inch calf so it was pretty snug to get them zipped but I think the leather will break in a bit and they'll be perfect. Love them!

Sadly I'm returning this boot - It's beautiful, I love how tall it is up my calf (I'm 5'8.5"), the sides are so cozy, and I'm sure it will stand up well in the weather. Returning because I wanted comfort #1 - I work retail and will be on my feet for hours - and I just can't imagine these ever getting that comfortable.

Wanted boots that I could tuck in skinny jeans and these work well. There is a small strip of elastic in the back so no pinching skin in the zipper. Wore these in NYC, walked miles. Comfortable even after my feet were tired. Very warm in cold weather. I have not tested wet too much. The box said they are waterproof. They also don't scuff like another pair of books I have. I do wish they did not have the logo on the side hence minus one star.

So I want to review all of the items on Zappos for a job! I am a product designer and I am an extremely articulate shopper. Here is my experience with the Tristina Wide Calf Boot size 10. I purchased this boot for several reasons:, 1, height was 16.5", circumference is 17" and quality of construction. I have looked at these boots for over 2 months, doing comparisons with other companies and other styles. I have researched other wide calf boots and some of them claim that their wide calf circumference is 15" which is what I consider to be average. I also do not need the extra wide calf as 19" is way too wide and gets really sloppy on the leg, however easily goes over the jeans. The leather is quality,about 1.5-2mm thick on the Tristina, and the design is superb. It flares at the top to look higher in the front, is shaped to give some room on the side, and then has the stretch material gusseted in the back to accommodate the widest portion of the leg. I was pleased to know that the 17" circumference was adequate for my calf, although not sure about tucking the jean leg in. Only issue I have is the price went down significantly right after I bought them. Ouch.

I am a boot lover! Fall is my favorite season and I couldn't wait to pull out my boots again but unfortunately the last pair I bought from Steve Madden had been destroyed in one season so I knew I needed a new pair. I have athletic/large calves and buying boots that fit is always a struggle. After searching online for about two months I decided on these and another pair from Zappos. When I went to order them these were the only ones available and they were the ones I was leaning towards so I ordered them! It was love at first sight!! I wasn't sure they would be big enough but after wearing them around the house for a bit I realized they just needed to be broken in a little leather always stretches. I have worn them every other day since! I am in love with the quality of the leather and the nice thick rubber sole! I also find them to be quite comfortable for boots with a nice lining and comfortable sole. They are gorgeous and I get tons of compliments on them! I would recommend these boots to anyone! I bought a size 9.5 and I have a calf circumference of about 16". With the goring in the back they fit me perfectly! Well worth the price!

Just logged 7 hours in these boots and could still be going. I have a 17 inch calf and had my jeans tucked in. Even without the jeans, the fit is great. The extra stretch; in the back lets you go from leggings to jeans and still have a fit without a big gap. I got the B width and even with my toe rings, they were comfortable.

These boots are very comfortable; I can wear them all day and my feet never get sore. They're perfect for a wider calf (mine are 16 3/4") and the soles are slip resistant. Wish I could find more Rockports for a calf calf!

Perfect! The wide calf fits my leg with pants tucked in. The shoe part of boot is incredibly comfortable, even on first wear. Great choice!

This boot is the bomb-diggedy! I love them so much I ordered the black and the brown! I've never worn such a comfortable pair of boots - they are the perfect combination of comfort, sleekness, and are weatherproof! They are comfortable in the calf as well because of the goring in the back. I get compliments every time I wear them! Love Zappos quick delivery as well! You have to order these boots!

Fabulous boots! I have a wide calf and I usually have to fight with the zipper. Not with these boots, they zipped up with out a problem, I was ecstatic! AND, they are so comfortable! Love them!

I LOVE these boots! For the first time, I have found a pair of quality, beautiful boots that will fit my wide calf. My calves are different circumferences, one 17" and one 18". These boots fit the smaller one perfectly, and I can squeeze the other one into the boot. Turns out that once it get it zipped, it feels fine! Very comfortable. Worth every penny - I'll wear them for years!

I ordered these boots one half size larger. Now I can wear socks that are warmer. These wide calf boots are great and I can wear them with my jeans tucked in. Great looking boots. So happy I bought these.

I love these boots, very comfortable on my never happy feet thanks to the wide option, soft leather and good looking. I ordered a 1/2 size larger than normal and I'm glad I did. Calf as promised is wider than reg. boots, accommodating a 16.5" calf well.

I love these boots! It's so hard to find a quality pair of wide calf boots that don't look cheap or slouch in the wrong places or just aren't really wide calf. But these babies are perfect for my 7W feet and 16.75" calves. I can zip them up with jeans on. I usually don't like elastic because it usually looks cheap but not on these. It actually helps keep a sleek line for the boots in black. Plus I don't need to replace the sole with an arch support insert. If you have problem feet but love stylish footwear, these are a must. I love them.

These boots ROCK! Super comfy! They are pretty tall which I like (just below the knee). Works well on wide calves because there is stretchy stuff in the back that gives you more room. If you are looking for a boot without a heal these boots were make for you (and walkin')!

This is a great boot. It's comfortable to walk in all day, and is very cute and flattering. I have a very hard time finding boots to fit my calves. When I do, they are often uncomfortable or look funny. This boot is absolutely fantastic. I usually wear a 9. The 9 in this boot was slightly too big, but the 8.5 was WAY too small, so I stuck with the 9. (so I would say the 9 runs large and the 8.5 runs small??) My foot slides a round a little, which is annoying, but with thicker socks it's just fine.

I like this boot. I'm 5'10, so I wanted a tall boot. It has a nice slim look and doesn't flare out at the top like many other wide calf boots. do. It's matte and not overly dressy but works with skirts and dresses. Best of all - you can really walk in it. My calf is 16.5 and the boot fits fine over skinny pants.And it comes in 10.5 - hard to find! I don't love the look of the stretch panel, but it's functional. Fits my foot well....except for the heel, which is too loose. I also had to add just a bit more arch support. Overall, I recommend it - it's the best wide calf option I've found so far.

These were very nice but I could barely zip these over my 18" calf. They were advertised correctly, I had just hoped that they would fit anyway. Since they'd never work with jeans I returned them.

The boot looks great but it didn't give me the arch support that I needed. I typically buy Dansko and Naot shoes because of the arch support.

By far these are the most comfortable boots that I have ever owned. I am a flight attendant and I wear them constantly, for work, and also casually. I am a little bummed that the shaft has stretched a little, so they almost are taking on a slouchy look.
