I absolutely love these boots and I've gotten a ton of compliments on them. I have somewhat wider calves and these fit perfect, if you have skinny calves these might not be for you. They're very comfortable, I wore them on vacation where we did a ton of walking and my feet felt great. I did use a protection oil on them and they've held up great through the elements over winter.  The color is somewhere between a gray and a brown so I've been able to wear them with anything but the protection oil give them more of a slate gray look which I really like.
