"these boots are an amazing price, and great for everyday, all day wear. however, the shaft is 16 in, which is bad news for short girls like me. i am 5 feet tall, and the shaft height should not be more than 14 inches for someone as short as me. just a heads up, try measuring where you want the boot to hit on your leg and figure out the shaft hight thats right for you. i had to return these but it was my own fault for not reading and measuring more. not a bad boot, you get a little more than what you pay for with this one."
