"These boots are beautiful!!!! I have been looking a while for some real leather boots that are versatile, and these are perfect. They do take a day or two to break in, but otherwise they are pretty comfy... I am 5'6" about 130lbs and have teeny tiny calves. These boots are about an inch too loose on my calves, but much better fit than most boots! I fully recommend these boots for someone with toothpick calves... Also, I can wear a 9-9.5 in boots and these fit a little loose, but with a thick wool sock, they fit perfect. I have noticed that these run a little narrow (and I have pretty narrow feet)... These boots look very cute with skinny jeans, under boot cut jeans and my favorite-with tights and a cute dress... I gave 4 stars instead of 5 due to the fact that they are slightly narrow and scuff easily, and my original pair had a slight defect, but ordered another pair and love them... Hope this review helps!"
