The boots looked wide in the leg when I took them out of the box, as other reviewers have said.  However, when you put them on they are very cute!  I am average to thin build and tall.  They hit just tot he top of  my knee cap and were very comfortable to walk in.  The boots are made of a thin suede material - not the thick heavy (Leather type) suede.  So it depends on the look you want.
