Not really over the knee - I’m only 5’4” and while I loved these boots they cut me off right at mid knee cap and it just looked weird. Great if you’re super short and they actually come over your knee, or tall and you know you’re only getting knee high not OTK.

I love that the back panel matches the front of the boot. That’s super rare! They are easy to put on and take off. And... The back panel does stretch to accommodate a larger calf but it doesn’t look the greatest over pants/leggings. Also, they are not an over the knee boot for everyone...I’m 5’6” and they hit in the middle of the knee (weird feeling when I walk).

I REALLY loved this boot. However, I don't recommend for someone with narrow calves. I have what my friends call "chicken" legs. This made the boot look too slouchy and I was worried over time it would fall off of my leg. If you have normal to thick calves BUY RIGHT away. Super cute and great quality, especially for the price point.

These boot fit a little snug in the toe width area, were stiffer than I thought they'd be in the foot, but since they are sued I am hoping they "work in" because they are a very sleek look. They hug your leg because the back of the boot is a matching stretch fabric. I didn't have any trouble getting them on like I read in some other reviews. The color is very neutral they will go with lots of thing.

It’s not my first pair of sole Society boots. I wear 8 or 81/2 so i went with the larger. No doubt I’ve never been in a more comfortable boot. I want every pair of sole Society boots i can find. You won’t be disappointed. My foot is more wide than narrow and i slipped right into it.

I wanted so much to love the boots-the color and style was exactly what I wanted. However, I could not get over the fact that they were almost impossible to pull on. My foot is quite narrow, but there is a hard lip in the heel area that kept my heel from sliding in. Once I got them on they seemed true to size. Unfortunately though, I could not justify keeping a pair of boots that were so frustrating and difficult to get on and they had to go back.

These are beautifully made boots and super comfortable. I went a half a size up from my normal size and now they will be perfect with a mid weight pair of socks underneath if I choose.

I really love the color and look of this boot. I typically wear a 6 1/2 but need to order a 7. Just keep that in mind if you're buying this boot. You'll need to size up a half size.

I had been eyeing these boots for a while and all in all they are really nice boots. The back of the boot is stretches so it fit my wider calf fine. I love that the stretchy part was the same color as the rest of the boot, and not the ugly neoprene material it usually is. I have super long legs and they come to about mid knee. Seemed pretty comfortable. I ended up returning them because I felt that they just didn’t flatter my body shape. I have an apple shape and feel like boots that are not so form fitting in the leg look better in me. If you like this style of boots, you will probably love these!

These are a nice pair of boots, but they are a fraction slouchy on me as I don't think I have big calves and ankles. They do seem reasonably comfy though, and like they will go with many outfits.

Saw these on a friend and needed them immediately. Great style! Hits just above the knee with a slight slouch at the ankle (I’m 5’4”). I have wide calves and these slip right on, so they may be quite large on someone with small calves. If the available colors were more varied I would have gotten both.

The fabric on the back of the shaft made it easier to slide onto my somewhat larger calf. Very clean and classic. Good boot for the price.

I bought these as I have the SW 5050 and I was hopeful these were a less expensive alternative. They are not. they are super slouchy. They are going back.

Ran snug so returned for a half size up. LOVE the color. Very neutral. Love the fit (now with "right" size). Great height of shaft! May get in other colors!!

Love the boot and it fit my wider calf. I took my normal size which is a 6.5. Slightly narrow in the toe bed/width. I wore them around the house with heavy socks and sprayed shoe stretcher which helped. I wish this brand carried a wide size because that would’ve solved the problem. Still kept them!

Love these boots! I am normally an 8 and have a fairly narrow heel. The 8 was too small so jumped up a full size to the 9, which fit very well and are very comfortable. An 8.5 might have worked but with normal thickness of socks, the 9 is perfect for me.

After reading the reviews on these boots, I said since Zappos is so great, if everyone was right about the fit and they don't work out, Zappos will gladly take them back! So with that, I received them, and honestly, they fit pretty darn well. They didn't run small in the foot or the calf at all, however, for me (I'm a normal width foot) they did feel *slightly* more narrow than usual, but nothing drastic. The calf is soft and stretchy, so that to me didn't run small at all. I was just unhappy with how they looked on me. The style just didn't look good on me, so unfortunately I am sending back.

I used to love Sole Society and had several pairs of their boots and sandals. I was really disappointed in these. They looked (and felt) so cheap for the price point. The comfort was ok but the look was very DSW, trying but just not hitting the mark. Returned.

I’m a Sole Society fan so I was shocked at how terrible these were for me. Baggy at the ankles and so wide at the top they I knew after a couple of wears they would fall down. These completely missed the mark in style and functionality. They look like really cheap Payless boots. Just ugly IMO. Zero style. Comfort was ok but who would really know? I had to take them off ASAP because I was literally repelled by them.
Idk if the brand got cheaper now that they’ve merged with DSW but I have a pair of their booties from 5 years ago that were stellar. Sad.

I am so frustrated! I love these boots and the stretchy back material is perfect for me because my shins are on the larger size... but there is no zipper! So I could not even pull them on. Really disappointed, but I have to return these. I think they would have fit great, but we will never know. I would love this same boot with a zipper, people!
