I love these! Wore them with my pirate costume for Halloween - walked all over & they were super comfortable. The next week I wore them to work on a cold rainy day & my feet were the only part of me that stayed dry. Cute with jeans,  leggings, skirt, whatever. I normally wear a 9 in shoes or 91/2 in athletic shoes. I decided to go with 91/2 & they are perfect.  Enough room for thicker socks when it's cold. My athletic calves fit comfortably,  even with skinny jeans. Highly recommend these...wish I had a brown pair!
