"I had tried these boots on in the store and couldn't stop thinking about them, so I bought them a couple of days later on-line. They are super comfortable to walk in, and there is plenty of room around the calf (I have larger calves from exercise so I sometimes have problems with this). Not with these boots, they fit all the way up. I bought the brown color, which is a nice, deep brown. The heel is a nice height and plenty of room for my foot, so they are not narrow. These remind me of my old Frye boots from the 1970's! I wish I had never given those away, but these are a really nice replacement. Worth the $$'s, they are a nicely made boot."
