I just received my boots this afternoon, tried them on and instantly knew I was wearing  well-made, very comfortable, exceptional quality leather boots that fit me like a glove.  I'm 5'9" and wear a size 8.  I have long feet (size 12), and slender calves.  I ordered 3 different brands of boots over the last 2 months and returned all of them because they were too short in the foot bed, and extremely wide in the calf.  I was really getting disgusted about the poor sizing by some well known brands and was just about ready to give up buying boots this winter UNTIL I found these.  Blondo is made in Canada and from past experience, Canada's shoe sizing is spot on.  The leather is soft and smooth and I absolutely LOVE the narrow  shaft on this boot that fit my slender calves perfectly.  The height of the boot is in between a knee high and a mid calf, which looks very attractive with skinny jeans, leggings, or skirts.  Quality, fit, comfort and sizing of this boot at this price makes this an amazing deal. Finally a BIG thank you to Blondo for making boots that fit the population of slender legged women!
