I am delighted with these boots. They are fashionable and comfortable and very flattering. I was slightly worried about my calves being too big and thought the buckle at the top would be a good option if they needed loosened. Actually they fitted perfectly but the option is always there for someone with a chunkier calf. I did find them to be a small fitting though - I am normally a 4 or 4 and a half and I needed a 5. My only problem is that I now want a pair in every colour!
