This boots are cute to wear for certian party events such as a 70's party.  However, like most of the other reviews It is impossible to get the boots around the calves without getting nervous that you will break the zipper on it.  I struggled.  No matter what size you get it will be hard around the calves.  Remember when ordering shoes the size you order is the size of your feet. So just because you get a size 7, 8 etc... it will not make up for the problem you will having zipping the boots around the calves.  Over all I like the boots for my occassion I am wearing them to.
