i am always on the lookout for good synthetic shoes, as i try to avoid buying leather whenever possible. while these shoes are seemingly well made and very aesthetically pleasing, they are far too small for my calves.

to be clear, my calves are not large, but certainly muscular, and these didn't come close to fitting. i couldn't zip them up more than three inches.

if you have small calves, these books would look amazing, however for those of us who do not...sadly these don't work at all.
