"Majority of boots are not realistically fit for women with wide-calves and thus too many boots do not fit women with a calf larger that the average. Tracking down boots that actually fit a larger calf (muscle especially) is a hard task and often leaves me irritated. I was skeptical of these boots, but when they arrived they fit like a glove. Love the color (the picture is a tad deceiving but the color is still rather pretty as I bought the chestnut, they look much darker in the photo than in person). Women with wide-calves, buy these boots!"
