I have had my eye on these boots for awhile. Amazon had the best price on them by far (after extensive internet searching and looking in stores), and Amazon had them in my size (it was difficult to find my size in stores). I wear a size 8 normally and have fairly flat feet, and the size 8 fit well. I also have large calves, but I can easily wear these boots with skinny jeans. They are comfortable for walking, no rubs or areas of discomfort. I sprayed them with a suede/leather protectant since I bought the brown oiled suede. I love the color and texture of the boots. They are gorgeous, and the fit seems great after wearing them a few times.
