At first when I took these out of the package I thought they looked great, but wasn't sure about pulling them up as I have larger calves (16 ins.) so I undid the first button, didn't help. Then I tried just pulling them on, perfect, these are so yummy and cozy that I don't want to take them off. My only complaints are that I wish the insoles were inserts so you could place other inserts beneath them and keep the soft natural wool right next to your feet. Also, I got a 7 as I normally wear 7 1/2 in athletic shoes, I think a 6 would have been better, I wear a 6 1/2 in sandal's. But these are really cute, similar, but different enough so they are not just another ugg boot.
