I really liked the look of these, and the reviews were promising.

Out of the book, these looked quite nice for an inexpensive pair of boots.

However, I had to return these because they don't fit my leg.

This is probably because I have very large calves (genetics), so the lace-up portion becomes distorted and I had a weird bulge at the inside of my ankle when these were laced up.

I also noticed (perhaps also because of my calves) that my heel didn't fit correctly into the boot, so when I took a step, my heel came up, much like the sensation of wearing flip flops.
