I purchased these boots after reading a review from a customer who said they did not fit her calf but the foot of the shoe was so comfortable she felt she could have walked in them all day if she could have zipped them up. Well, she was mostly right! They do fit around my calf fine as I have slender legs, and I gave them the all day work out. They are a beautiful boot, soft with no stiffness around the ankle or foot, but after walking in them all day I could feel it in my toes as if they were being rubbed ever so slightly where the boot flexed with each step. I don't anticipate walking in these all day very often so I gave the 4 stars for overall style, attractiveness & comfort. They appear to be well made & the heal is a nice comfortable height while still being stylish. I will add that I am very picky about my footwear as I have had surgery on both feet & a good fit is a must but, like most women, I still want to look good :) I did buy these a half size larger, I normally wear a 7 1/2 B, these are an 8 & fit perfect with plenty of room in the foot bed. This was an excellent purchase & I am very happy I bought them.
