"Like the other Journee C boots I've purchase, calves are super wide on the regular boots, and they smell terrible straight from the box. These are a cute style, and I like that they're not leather, but the fit is terrible. I don't know if a smaller size would help with the calf width."
"This is a cute style, but the shaft/calf is huge. I ordered 4 pairs of Journee Collection boots and found this to be the case for all 4 pairs. You don't even need to use the zipper on these, the just slip on. I will try a half to full size down next time."
"I ordered these in my regular size 8.5. The calf is HUGE! If you're considering getting the wide calf, try the regular size first. The calf is so large even jeans and socks won't fill it out. No need to use zipper or buckles, just slip it on. Foot is a little large too, I'd order half size down. Straight from the package these had a bad smell; probably from the PU (I ordered them b/c they were not leather)."
