"LOVE these boots. I read the previous comments and made sure to measure my calves before ordering (the boots are 15" around the top). I actually really appreciate that these boots are on the narrow side, I think it gives them a chic look with tights or leggings. Definitely enough room for skinny jeans to be tucked in but probably not a lot of other jean styles.
I normally wear a size 8 1/2 and I ordered an 8 and it fits really well, although I'm not sure if there's enough room for a rainboot liner. Don't forget to wear socks though! I'm sure they'd be a huge hassle to take them off without.
Overall I can't wait to wear these boots this season, they seem durable and well made & the details are simple and sophisticated."

okay
"I just got these boots in the mail and I decided to try them on without any socks or stockings and I learned the hard way i scratched it while fighting to take them off so when i finally took them off I decided to try them on with stockings and they come off without an hassle. These boots are very cute but the calves killed me when i first put it on so if anyone thinking about buying these boots just wear them with stockings and you'll be perfect :) unlike me I have to go find away to get out the scratch if its possible :'("

GORGEOUS - but tight!
"These boots are beautiful! They do not look like a rain boot at all! The only issue I had was that they don't even come up over my calves completely because they are so tight. By no means do I have large calves, so I am not sure how anyone with an average leg would wear these. I managed to get my foot into them (I have a narrow size 10) and got them on, but they caught right at the top on my calf and buckled a little. They are NOT adjustable. I then walked around my house for ten minutes with them on, loving the style and wondering how I would fit a pair of jeans into the leg openings.....then I tried to get them off. It took both hands and the other foot to yank my leg and foot out of one, five minutes of struggling and tugging, praying I wouldn't be stuck in them until my husband got home! I am hoping to stretch them or possibly alter them so they will fit better, because I love them way too much to return."

Chooka Rain Boot
"These boots are gorgeous and nicely detailed for rain boots. The calf fits a tad too snug, so I'm giving them 4/5 stars, but I'm still going to keep them for rainy fall days."
