"I've been to so many stores in the mall proclaiming wide calf only to try it on and feel embarrassed because my calves are huge and I'm a short girl (5'1) so it's very sad when almost everyone is wearing boots but not me. I took a chance and ordered these after I measured my calf (no one bothered to measure me at the store btw). I'm 15.5 wide so these were fantastic and enough room for my skinny leg jeans. I thought I'd have to wear them in but no need because its comfy. Now I'm a happy girl and might need to purchase the black ones now."
