I am kind of a boot fanatic and probably have too many pairs.  But when it comes to this certain pair of boots, this is a good thing.  I can only wear these boots bare legged because they are SO. INCREDIBLY. TIGHT.  And I'm not a big girl.  I'm a small boned, petite runner with pretty slim calves.  Having several pairs of knee high boots, these are undisputedly the tightest I have ever seen.  Had I tried it on at the store over jeans I would not have purchased them; unfortunately I just can't take justify the hassle and cost of returning them now.

When I do wear them over skinny jeans or leggings, I have to leave them partially unzipped, or my calves and feet start tingling from lack of circulation.  Seriously - I'm not kidding.  This is a huge disappointment, because to me, that takes away from the point of knee-high boots; if I wanted to wear boots under jeans I could wear ankle boots.  If I wanted to wear such high boots, generally it's because it's cold outside.  Being a baby about temperature-related discomfort, there are precious few times in the year where it's the perfect temperature for a skirt and boots, but these Jump boots will only be used for those rare times because of their cobra-esque constricting fit.

That said, they are very flattering and super comfortable in the ankle and below, and easy to walk around in with great traction on the bottom.  I also got a lot of compliments on the silhouette.  Also, it's hard to find genuine leather boots at such a low price - the rest of mine are synthetic and at comparable prices.
