These boots were too small around the calf area and too small in general. I usually wear a size 9 so I ordered these in a size 9 but when they arrived, even before putting them on, I could tell they were going to be toooo small! They are also too tight around the calf area. I've never had that problem with any of boots I own or have tried in the past. I'm returning these boots ASAP! I wouldn't recommend these boots. Save yourself the hassle.
