I was a little nervous ordering these boots because of the previous reviews regarding big calves. Completely thrilled when they arrived and fit most excellently!...and they were really comfortable. I was kind of surprised they had the faux sheep fur inside and was a bit nervous again as they might make it a bit snug. Again, it fit great and, with the short steampunk dress I wore them with, my feet were kept warm on the chilly night out walking the pub crawl. Great price and great fit. Im very happy that I took a chance on these. I received so many compliments on them and even during the course of the event, found another girl had the same boots...a nice little conversation ensued thereafter. The color of these were great also. Very happy and they went very well with my chosen dress. I would recommend these boots....and don't worry about having large calves ladies. I am 55, 208 lbs with muscular calves and these fit very well. Ill include a pic.(The pics are when I initially tried them on just to see if they fit...this was BEFORE I tightened the laces.) The only thing I needed to do was to tighten the laces so there wasn't the gapping at the ankles as a previous review had mentioned. Once you tighten the laces the boots give enough support for the few hours you may be wearing them. All in all, a nice find for my costume!
