LOVE LOVE LOVE these boots. This is a my second pair. My first pair lasted me 2 years, and then then zipper broke at the ankle part (both sides). It would have costed me $100 to repair both zippers so I decided to get a new pair of boots instead. It fits very snug at the calf area. I can only fit leggings (probably not jeans until I break into them). The boots sits just below my knee (I'm 5'2"). They are very stiff brand new, but that's to be expected. I hope Rockport never discontinues this boot.
