I was so excited to get these boots. I had been fantasizing about getting a pair of button boots with a sleek military look, like the Miz Mooz Fox Boot. Unfortunately, these boots were too big for my calves and thus looked weird from the side. Some boots look fine when they are a bit baggy, but not these. My calves are on the slim side though--the circumference at the largest point is 12.5 inches.

Besides this, the zipper didn't zip that smoothly (not a huge problem though), and I thought the buttons were a bit too bright. The boots were quite comfortable though, and seemed like they would be easy to walk in. I felt that these shoes ran slightly too large. I am a 7.5 but a 7 would probably work better for me.
