"I am very picky when it comes to boots so 3 stars is actually a fairly good rating for me. I have rather needy feet so I need shoes that have an above average insole -- these were only average quality. I listed them as slightly wide because my foot is slightly wide, with a bunion, and these fit well in that respect. They felt well-made and looked good, they just weren't exactly what I was looking for. (I need flat boots but I'm not a huge fan of the block heel, currently.) I ordered these because I liked the lace up detail in back. Still like that - it looked cute - these boots just weren't perfect enough to keep. I would say I have average width calves and the calves on these fit well, plus they were adjustable. So, if you like the way these look and your feet aren't as finicky as mine, I'd say go for it. (by the way, DSW employee was great about return and return was so easy at my local store.)"
