"I ordered these up a half size based on reviews, but they are big! I wear size 9 usually and have 13.5 inch calves. I was swimming in these boots. The calf circumference is quite large. They were gaping around my calves and the buckles do not tighten at all on the sides. Also the fit was very wide at the ankles. They looked lumpy and wrinkly all over. They are going back. I don't think I will ever find narrow calf boots. I am giving up!"
