"The calf was tighter than what I had hoped considering I had measured prior to ordering these, but with a little effort I was able to zip these fully. To fix the tightness in the calf I ordered some stretching spray off a well-known "Prime member" website for a few bucks. Everything I read says this works great, so I will be extra happy if that's the case. If not these are still a great buy for the quality they give, and real leather tends to mold and stretch over time, so I'm happy.
"I tried these on upon receiving them and promptly took them back. As mentioned in other reviews I've given, I like high-quality shoes, and normally don't buy cheapies. These look cheap and I don't do cheap. I'm not saying cheaper shoes can't be great, they can, but these are not that pair."
"Okay, so I still have these and do wear them, but I've had them over a year and worn them less than 5 times, so they haven't exactly made me love them enough to wear often. First off, they are tight feeling and not entirely true to size. Second, they make you feel like you're wearing Barbie shoes with your toes cramped up, which is not so hot all day long. These are great for a date night or a short time, but beyond that I would not recommend them. Bummer because they are certainly cute."
"I bought these on a whim when travelling for work and realizing I hadn't packed my flats. Not wanting to wear my heels all week, I googled the closest DSW and found these bad boys. Completely adorable, but not the most comfy shoe. Overall I like them, and they are average on the comfort, but the heel rubs just ever so slightly because I wear them sans socks. Socks don't necessarily go with dresses and other of-the-moment looks with these types of shoes, but I still like them when I use my GLIDE chafing stick in combo with them. They are pretty cute and overall comfy enough."
"Like other reviews I agree to call these wide calf is a big lie! I don't have particularly huge calves (I'm 5'2" and a size 8), and normally I can get by with normal calf boots, but ALWAYS wide calf. Not only did I feel like my legs were being cut off from my body, but the leather was very stiff and the shoe itself was just made to have a weird bunchy area at the ankle and tight everywhere else. Not a great boot for such a notable company!"
"Got these for my picky almost 11 year old, and she loves them. She said they are very comfy and the multi-colored design means they go well with all her clothes. Now to get her style to look a little more on par with the rest of the world!"
"Love these! They fit exactly as expected and although weather hasn't allowed me to wear them yet, they fit like they will be very comfy for office and running around town. Very excited to wear this upcoming year!"
"I am typically kind of a snob about my shoes and buying something that wasn't real leather was a push for me. Also these were dressier than I had thought I wanted, but I ran out of black boot options and decided to get these. The material is very forgiving (think neoprene) and with some style you can dress these up quite a bit or down to a business casual level. The only negative is that the synthetic material makes my feet feel sweaty during the day, but otherwise I'm happy with them."
