These boots are very nice looking.  The gray color is beautiful - a bit distressed looking and will go with a lot.  The top of the boot is a bit wide for my leg - I have thin calves and this is often a problem for me.  However, because of the slouchy style and calf height, I think it works.  It's best with tucked in jeans, I think.  It may be too wide for skirts and dresses.  I would have preferred them to be somewhat narrower.  I tried to tighten them a bit with the belt up top, but I really think they will be best for a tucked in style.

I wanted to point out that the calf circumference measurement here indicates that these boots measure under 14".  That is not the case.  I'd say that they're closer to 15" - if you do a search, that's what you'll find on other websites.  If you have thin calves and want to wear these without jeans or pants tucked in, keep looking as they're probably too wide for you.

Nonetheless, the boots were a great deal.  Like other Madden Girl products, they are "vegan" - i.e. made of pleather.  But they are soft and aren't obviously faux.
