Everywhere I go I get complements on these boots from men and women. They are the most comfortable I have ever owned. I walk with a cane and cannot tell there is any heel at all. they are great to get in and out of-I have larger calves; eventhough, I am small. They would work just as well on smaller calves as they are lace-up and zip-up. I can't say enough about them. Warm, cozy, stylish-who could ask for more?
