If you have larger/athletic calves, this boot will not zip up - even without trying to tuck pants or leggings in.  I wear a standard size 7 and am curvy/athletic, but not large.  The shoe part of the boot was ok. It is also not as tall on the leg as I would have thought, hitting a few inches below the knee.  The boots are nice looking but a no go because not wide enough at the top.
