Good value, but feels a little cheap

Also, I really don't think that my calf is wide, but I really have to work to get these on especially over jeans, which is what I bought them for. But I don't regret buying them at all; I get compliments all the time on them.

I got this boot for winter to wear with skinny jeans mostly. I do have to say that it took me a while to find the right jeans to fit into the boot the way I wanted them to tuck in. So in order to wear jeans or pants in them, they have to be very skinny! As for wearing them under your boot cuff, the jeans must be wide leg enough - and the suede material tends to stick to your pant leg.
These are beyond comfortable though! I have a hard time with shoes being uncomfortable and these are great! I have high arches, medium to wide feet and skinny calves. I haven't worn these with a skirt yet because it is cold out but I think if I were to wear them without leggings, they might fall down my calf.
Those are mostly the negatives, but overall I LOVE these boots and I'd wear them everyday if I could! I'd get another pair in brown I love them so much but I want something different.
Highly recommended - once you figure out what clothes work for you.

I was really excited about these when I ordered them online, but when I received them, I was thoroughly disappointed. They were SOO hard to get past my heel, but did fit ok once they were on. The fabric looked a little cheap to be almost 70 bucks...I knew it wasn't real suede when I ordered it, but I had higher expectations for the price. Also, these fit ok around my calves (I'm a size 0), but they were really slouchy around the ankles and quite unflattering.

I really wanted a flat boot and I found this here. It's really cute!! From reading the other review, I was worried that the boots would be too long with my height (5'2") but they were fine. I usually wear a 7 but these are a bit loose. Sadly, there's no 6.5 so I'll be sticking with these and stuff a insole inside.
Thanks for all ur reviews on size!

I just wanted to thank all of you who warned about the size... I just received my boots yesterday and I ordered a size 81/2 instead of a 9 (my usual size) after reading the reviews. They fit perfectly...and I still have a little extra room. My normal size 9 would have been way too big... anyway I love the boots...they're really cute... but anyone should definitely order a half size smaller because they definitely run big!!!!

These boots are very cute and i loved the look, BUT i couldn't keep them for many reasons. These boots are not true to size. I usually wear 7.5 and these felt like if i was wearing a 9: ) Second, i am a short girl and the fact that the boot comes all the way to my knees was a big no go. I ordered the gray ones and the color is so perfect, not too light nor too dark. Bottom line is that if you are going to order these, order at least a half size smaller. I even put insoles in them, and wore thick socks and the boot still looked and felt huge on mel. I highly recommend the Tianna and Bonanza styles. They are true to size and are not as tall as this style. Hope that helps: )

Comfortable pretty much right out of the box. Definitely run big. Nice & tall -- I'm 5'8" and they hit about an inch and a half below my knee.
Runs very small - not calf friendly if you're a pant size 12

I usually wear a size 8 and I purchased an 8 and these felt more like a size 7. I didn't think I had large calves (I'm a size 12 in pants) and it was so tight around the calf I could barely get my foot in. No give or zip up either. When I did get my foot in - whoa - these run pretty narrow. I have a wide foot and it wasn't comfy at all. I returned them right away. Better for a narrower/average width foot.
$20 more expensive on Endless!

My dissatisfaction comes only from the price. I just found these boots at DSW for $49.95! I've already worn the boots for two weeks, so I can't return them. Otherwise, they're nice warm boots. Ordered a size 7 when I usually wear 7 1/2, comfy fit without any breaking in. Not as flattering on the calves as I imagined (shapeless at best, a little slouchy/fattening at worst).

After reading the other reviews, I thought that ordering my usual size, 8, would work for me, since my calves are a little bit wider than average. I was wrong. My calves fit nicely but there was so much room at the toes! I could have been better off ordering a 7 1/2 or even a 7 because my feet looked really long and walking was awkward with all that space in the front.
Hot and Sexy but careful if you have WIDE feet....

I ordered these in 6 brown and the look great! I think I have normal size feet - not narrow but not wide either. These start to feel a little tight if I wear thick socks but okay with normal or thin socks. So if you have wide feet, go half a size up. I wore these for about 4 hours (mostly sitting though) and they were very comfortable! Very light so it will not drag your feet if you have to walk in them all day. They run a little thin as a result so some sole inserts would add that extra comfort needed if worn all day. But as is - it's one of the best boots I've ever owned and for a great price too!

These boots are awesome. Very warm and comfortable. I do have to agree with the other reviewers that they do run about half a size big, but I just wear socks with them and they fit fine. Concerning the calf size; I'm 5'10" and a size 8 and they are a little big around the calf. I thought with the ties it would make them a bit more adjustable, but they really aren't. I always wear them with legwarmers and leggings so the fit is just fine! I definatly reccomend these boots!

I ordered them Monday and they came Tuesday! I was so excited! They're very comfortable. I'm about 5'10'' and they hit almost to the knee. Exactly what I was looking for! Cute and stylish and affordable. I can't wait to wear them again!

When I first saw the boots online, I just love them immediately. Now that I have them I am so glad that I bought it. I was in need of black boots and these totally fulfilled that need.
Also, the shoes do run a little big. I usually wear a size 10 in boots, but i bought a size 9 it fits perfectly.

After reading the reviews and never wearing anything less than a 9½ - 10 I was weary about ordering a 9 but I did and they are still a bit loose in the toe. I have average sized calves (I'm a size 4) and these are snug around my bare leg so they will definitely be tight with jeans even if you loosen the top tie. Absolutely adorable though and unbelievably soft. Much more than you would expect for the price.
not good for normal-sized people

Really, really narrow at the top - I guess I should have read the reviews by skinny-calved people. I think of myself as having pretty normal-sized calves, being a normal-sized (8) woman, but apparently not for this brand.

For a long time i was looking for a flat, slouch boot. I'm on my feet all day, so i don't like wearing any sort of heels but want to still look fashionable.
Reading everybody's comments made me paranoid, so I order a 6.5 when I normally wear a 7-8. That proved to be too small by a tad and exchanged for a 7. What a difference 1/2 a size makes! They are now a little bit too big, but still comfy. I have skinny legs, so my problem with mid-calf boots is that they fall or are very loose, but these fit great without me even having to tie them. They are very soft and overall a great buy!

I just got these yesterday and am already in love with them. You don't need to break them in, they have a lovely little tie up the back to keep them on your calf, and that is also fantastic for adjusting for tights/jeans/etc.
I agree that you should order a half size down. I wear an 8.5 consistently and, following the previous reviews, got an 8. They fit perfectly. I think they're perfect for the mini sweaterdress with tights combo.

I'm an 8 - 8 1/2, so I ordered an 8. It was still a little too big and was slipping. I felt like I could wear a thick sock even with a size 7 1/2, so I'm exchanging.
Shoulda Listened to Meagan

I read Meagan's review and, as I am usually a size 7 1/2 or 8, thought, "hummm, maybe I should get a 7 1/2," but I was thinking with thick socks in the boots (it's really in now to wear the knee length socks that peak out right above the top of the boot) maybe I should stick with an 8. Well, Meagan was right. They run big. If you're considering the boot, just go a 1/2 size less than you normally would. These will work fine, but I could have gone smaller.
Otherwise, I like them a lot and can't wait for the skirt and boots look come late fall/winter.

These boots are nice they fit great around the top of my calf, I have skinny calfs.... are roomy below that I guess that's because they are slouchy. I usually wear an 8 but I could wear 7.5 in these so they do run on the big side. Great casual boot for a low price. I got the grey ones.
