I absolutely love these boots.  I am 5'3" and I have normal legs, not super thin, not thick.  These boots come just below my knee and are NOT annoying at all.  They are a great length.  When I sit, I can feel them in the back of my knee, but again, not annoying or anything that would deter me from wearing them.  They have an awesome worn look, like they walked a mile already.  They are comfy, not bulky, and they aren't "cluggers"...I walk around in them quietly (I don't like when boots are loud and stompish).  I am a 7 1/2 and ordered exactly that size and they fit like a glove.
