These boots are perfect for just about everything! I was so nervous to order these without trying them on because I'm a dancer and I have bigger calves and most boots do not fit me. These fit like a glove!!!!! To say I was ecstatic is a vast understatement!!! They're great to wear to class, to work and to go out!! The only tiff I have with these boots is the obnoxious extra piece of fabric right behind the zipper, it has gotten caught in the zipper EVERY time I wear them so today I actually cut it down because its a pain in the butt! If you buy these I HIGHLY recommend cutting it down the first time so you save yourself the hassel!! But overall they have held up well and are great boots!!! I actually have some extra room in the shaft and I have 15in calves so I will definitely be ordering these in black too!!! I have a friend who ordered these same boots and has much smaller calves and they fit her like a glove too! I don't know if it's because they stretch or they're just magical but I just know they're great!!! =]
