I was a little worried but went ahead according to the reviews and got them in the suede in both colors. I have a wide calf from years of aerobic exercise and running. I was worried so as soon as they came I had them on and I love both pair. They look great with long sweaters and leggings. I really do love them. I would recommend them to everyone and they shipped lightning fast. I aso got lucky and got an awesome deal on two pair right before xmas. Merry xmas to me :) I love Nine West in shoes and boots. They offer quality and a good price point. You won't be sorry you bought these...and by all means do get the suede!!
