I love the look of these, and presume they are very comfortable, IF YOU CAN GET THEM ON!!  When I purchased these I thought there was a zipper, by the photo, didn't have time to read the reviews.  I usually don't need a zipper with pull ons as have very thin calves, & feet, but I cannot even get them pulled on over my (low), arch!!!  This is also the case with the "short" model of this boot I also ordered??  I would have to spend hours to wrestle my skinny legs, feet, into either model.  Is a beautiful boot though cannot imagine anyone being able to get these on, then from reviews have now read, you can see, the foot of the boot is very large, wide, (a reviewer having trouble DRIVING with them on, wow).  So both pairs going back, wish they had a zipper with such fine craftsmanship, leather, otherwise.  I also feel deceived by the 5 star rating, are these people contortionists?
