I have two other pairs of Minnetonka calf height boots and decided to get a taller pair when I bought these. I got the Dust Brown, which is more of a cocoa/crayola crayon brown than the other Brown they were selling. The boots come up to the largest point of my upper calf and the fit is exact (I have skinny calves for a person who wears size 10 shoes). The 10 length was perfect for use with thin trouser socks or none at all, just like my other two pair. The shingles on these are thinner than the short boots I have, but they are still heavy enough to shimmy when I walk like the others. They are flat inside, and although they are comfortable, there is no arch support (same as the others). I got them when they were on sale for $44 so it was a great deal that I would buy again. I am a Prime member, which gives free 2-day shipping, but these were ordered on a Wednesday afternoon they were delivered the very next evening.
