I ordered these boots and am very pleased. As a woman with large calves it was important to me that these boots stretch and they do so wonderfully. I have a calve about 16 inches around and these fit like a glove. The elastic on the sides works well, the 'shaft' is well proportioned. The only complaint I have is that the stretch material does not go far enough into the ankle and as such the boot bunches slightly.

This boot runs very true to size. I ordered half a size larger (9.5) than I usually wear and found them to be very roomy.

Recommend.
