I have been shopping for tall boots for quite some time since I am very picky and wanted boots that I could wear all day. Well, these are the ones! Comfortable, smart and oh, did I say comfortable? I have large calves and these boots fit over them perfectly (with a little stretching at first). The inside of this boot has very nice fabric, soft to the touch. The footbed is also soft and comfortable. The outside leather feels reasonably durable. My husband rubbed mink oil to protect them from the rain so I am ready for winter. I would highly recommend!
