I have had a lot of trouble finding the right "tall" boot because I have large calves.  I read the reveiws of others and decided to go with this boot because I find it extremely cute.  This boot is very comfortable.  I normally wear a 7-7.5.  I went with the larger and it fits perfectly.  I couldn't ask for a better fit.  Soft, Fairly light weight considering the size of the boot.  I felt warm and protected riding the bike at the end of February in Central US.  They are my favorite.  My boyfriend loves them too!
