I was so excited for these boots. When I finally got them in the mail they were so cute and exactly what I had been looking for. However, they were unwearable. I ordered a size 9M, which fit perfectly, the lower calf portion fit perfectly. However, the seam that connects the suede/nu-buck to the upper leather was so tight around my calf that it would cut off circulation. The odd thing being that I had PLENTY of room in the calf EVERYWHERE else. It's like the seam toward the top of the boot was MUCH SMALLER than the rest of the calf opening... since I was still able to cinch the top to the medium/smaller button (while wearing jeans and socks). I'm not sure if it was a flaw, or if that's just how they were made... but it was so uncomfortable to wear (even around the house) that I returned them.
