"I have a size 8.5 feet, and a 12.5 in calf, therefore have an awful time finding affordable boots that won't exaggerate my lack of curves and skinniness. I took a chance and ordered this boot, hoping I could adjust the laces. Although the laces don't do much, these boots don't seem obviously baggy on my 12.5 in calves even with just tights on! Of course it's not a perfect skin tight fit I dreamed of, there's still a gap that could easily fit my hand at the shaft, but if it's not that obvious, who cares? The fit is more relaxed around the ankle, so it might not work for somebody with very defined slim ankles...my ankles aren't very defined so they were fine for me. They really go with everything!"
