let me start off by saying this boot is super warm. i even tried it on in store so i could get the right size off amazon, but once i got it and started walking around the inside of the shaft rubbed the whole back of my ankle raw. I have large calves and this boot his just the incorrect spot so the top of the boot slides down my calf slightly and the back of the boot bunches up when i step forward and grazes my my ankle. It's really painful. i agree with the review saying this is more like a ski-boot style so it kinda slants forward. the styling toward a fitted look may be attractive, but it's poorly designed in this boot. if the whole shaft were just tipped back a little it would be perfect, or if it were just a little taller, but it's exactly wrong on both points. NOT PLEASED. i hate them. i think i'll go with something softer.

oh and thanks to AMAZON giving me such a hassle returning them. i had a mixup trying to print my shipping label because my printer broke, so i had to call and have a label sent to me (the guy on the phone just sighed like i was bugging him) and then i can ONLY use UPS and there are no UPS stores near here so i have to pay [...] for pickup and [...] for shipping. i guess i won't be buying any fitted shoe/garment here.
