Fantastic boot at a great price! I have several pairs of Stuart Weitzman and other high end boots. At times, particularly when out and about during bad weather, I prefer to wear a nice boot that I worry less about my investment. After purchasing and returning several failures I found these. They are great quality, well made, comfortable and just beautiful low heeled boots. I am 5'11" and they rise just to the top of my knee. My calves are 12.5" in circumference and though a bit bigger than SW boots I have no problem with them slouching or riding down. Suede is good quality, not thin nor cheap looking. Again these are really nice and look great with leggings, skinny jeans, and skirts. I cannot speak to their water resistance yet but , they look as if they will pass that test. They fit true to size and I disagree with previous review which suggests the top area is tight. My legs are average size to slightly slim and I find these a perfect fit ! You can't go wrong with this boot. I am delighted with this purchase. P.S. The sole of this boot is attractive yet has a great grip.

Im 5’7” and 160lbs.. I loved the look of this boot, but I found a slightly different pair by Blondo called Olivia and prefer the style. With the Velma I did not like how the ankle seemed to have extra material so it bunched. They were however great quality and true over the knee boots, just not my preferred style.

My foot is 10 inches (measuring from the tip of my big toe to the edge of my heel), and 9.5 fits me perfectly. They are a beautiful quality and look divine when on!

These are great boots- the waterproof factor here in New England is big, with me, especially if the boot is this stylish. I'm 5' 6", and the front comes up just past the knee, and the calf fit is snug but comfy. The only problem I have with the boots is they are snug in the ankle, and a tad difficult to get on and off as my foot gets stuck in the ankle part! But I suppose a zipper there would make them non-waterproof. So, a cheap boot pull works great and the boots are to love.

The shaft was too tight for my calves! The material panel on the back half of the boot shaft looks stretchy, but it's not. It's like a woven nylon rainjacket material (I guess to help make these waterproof). The foot of the shoe fit my feet fine but then I couldn't get the top of boot up and over my knee.

Heel was wide and toe area narrow. My foot was pulling out yet the boot was almost too small at the toe. I'm bummed because I like them otherwise. will return.

As soon as I saw these boots, I wanted them. I have long skinny legs and feet. I usually take narrow but thought I could try getting the only width ordered, a medium. They arrived, were beautiful BUT I couldn't get them on ! There is no zipper so you have to navigate your foot and leg down this extra long boot shaft. I got the first part of my foot just past the ankle of the boot and that's as far as I could manage. As mentioned, I have thin legs and feet so I figured I would be able to get them on. I can't tell fit or comfort as I never got my foot completely in. I struggled a bit more, no luck, finally gave up as i became concerned that IF I was able to get them on, maybe I wouldn't be able to get them off.

I have been searching endlessly for the perfect over the knee boot. These being waterproof was a huge reason for my purchase. Unfortunately, they were very loose and bulky at the ankle but tight around the knee. I am 5 foot, 93 pounds so the loose ankle made sense but the tight knee was a surprise. The material was also somewhat papery and not very high quality/chic. Had to return them sadly, but for someone with a wider calf and ankle, these may be a good fit. The search continues...

The idea of these boots is great, but the sizing didn't work for me. I'm overall a small person and have proportionally small calves. The ankle and calf areas were a bit baggy on me as is often the case, but the thigh area is so tight it felt like a tiny noose on each leg. If you have large calves but tiny thighs, these would be a good fit. I have one other pair of Blondo boots, also OTK (Snow style) and I love them. They are weatherproofed very well. So if these fit you, they would be a great addition to your winter wardrobe.

These just arrived and are going back! They sound like I am wearing a bag of chips crunching noise with each step. I like the style -and waterproof aspect just not the sound effects!
