My standards were low, based on how economical these were. And I probably won't wear them more than once or twice a year. But with all that being said, these are great! I ordered them for St Patty's Day and got sooooo many compliments. They grab your attention and are so fun!!! They were comfortable to dance in. I read another review that said order up. I wear an 8.5 and there are no half sizes, so I ordered the 9 and they fit perfectly. How fun- I am considering another color for football season or something. You can't beat the price!
By the way, these were not tight at all on my calves at all.
