I have such a hard time finding tall boots that fit snug around my thin calves that when these arrived and fit, I was so excited. I was willing to look past the fact that after wearing only a handful of times the toes looked worn, but then I noticed a tear in the fabric in back of the ankle. I still tried wearing them since the tear was conceled by the rouging and not very noticeable, but then they just completely split open at the ankle and now have to be thrown out. I'd be more forgiving if I had worn them a lot, but I literally only wore them a few times to the office. Total waste of money.
