This is a great basic brown boot. I am really just happy that they fit around my calves.  I don't think my calves are freakishly large ~ they measure about 14 1/2 at their widest point.  The problem is that I am short (5'1") and where my calves are their widest does not always coincide with the widest part of the shaft of the boot.  I am a 6.5 in most shoes.  I ordered 6.5 and they better when I put an insole in the boot.  A lot of people mentioned in their reviews to order a half size smaller.  I'm really glad I didn't.  They are slightly narrow, but didn't seem to bother me.  I don't necessarily have narrow feet, but they are bony.

The leather looked a little more nubuck in person than it does in the picture, but that doesn't bother me. I think the nap will wear down quickly and become smooth.

They were definitely worth their price.
