I bought these shoes to go with my Halloween costume as a saloon girl. Needless to say they are perfect and very comfortable (although I have only walked around the room in them and not yet worn them all night). I have very muscular calves. I love how these boots have a side zipper, but have adjustable laces to accommodate different calf sizes. Very pleased with Funtasma. I bought boots from them last year to wear with my wonderwoman costume and THOSE were comfortably worn ALL night.
