i have really thick calves so i was praying these fit cuz NO boots ever fit me that are knee high. . . . they are reeeeeally tight over the calves but im hoping ill break them in a little. the bunch at the ankle disguises just how tight they are so its perfect. . .i wear 6.5 sandals and 7 shoes and i got a 7 in these . . . .ill buy the taupe ones soon. . ..  .i would get the brown but it doesnt look dark enough for what i wanted. . .these look more like a sage tan brown, not chocolate. im wondering if the boot opening being 17inches effects the calf size. . .ill try the naughty monkey chocolate brown ones like this with the 3 row of ties at the back

LOVE
