Since other reviewers saying how this boot would only look good on short people, for starters I'll mention that I'm 5'2". And I would say that it fits me proportionally, etc. I love this boot, because it's really comfortable yet stylish. I walk 1.5 miles everyday to get to and from school, and I wanted something stylish that wouldn't give me blisters or aches. These shoes are it. On the first day, it took some time to break them in. But since then, they've been really comfortable. I can wear these with jeans, or with a dress and not have to sacrifice comfort when I'm concerned about style. I also think the sizing is true to size and the calf isn't too tight on me at all.
Also, I saw someone else ask this, but the strap on the boot is just for show. It will not tighten or loose the shaft of the boot.
