Read all the reviews before ordering and expected these boots to be small in calves, about 2 inches too small.  We stuffed the boots with towels to stretch them.  After several times, the boots fit.  Since they are synthetic, they stretch fairly easily.  The boots are perfect for our costume, and overall,  I am very pleased with the product.  Well made.  This is a costume boot and will be worn infrequently, with that in mind, these boots are great.  I didn't give them 5 stars only because we had to stretch the calves.
