These boots are great! They are warm and look so cute. Im 57 and they do come up almost to my knees, which was a little higher than I was expecting. I still have some room around my calves which is definitely preferable! I got the wide calf size and they fit perfectly. Im waiting to see about any foot odor since they are man made materials and not a lot of breathing, but so far, that hasn't been an issue. Definitely recommended!
