"These boots are gorgeous & comfortable. They catch the light when you walk & feel like a pair of warm hiking socks almost to your knees! One caveat: I do have thin legs & these boots fit snugly. There is no extra room at all after I pull them over my jeans, but they are not tight either. I only started running into trouble with returns on tall boots when I did not pay attention to that detail, & I have come to rely on reviews to avoid repeating that mistake. I now look for 13" shaft before I even consider a tall boot."
