I am wearing these boots as I type my review.  Even my husband who never notices shoes or boots said - "those are really nice boots."  The toe is a bit more on the pointed side even thought I read a description that it was rounded and they fit snug. Though I could see if you have a skinnier calf - they could slouch.  I am built on the athletic side so I have muscular calves and they fit nicely.  I am also 5'9" and the only reason that I didn't give them a 5 stars is because they are not right under my knee cap - I prefer that in a "knee high" boot but it's not enough of a negative to return them or not wear them.  The heel is not too high (2 inches) and I like the microfiber/suede back.  The criss/cross straps on the back are a nice touch too.  When I first put these on I was wearing socks and I thought they might be too tight but I realized later I didn't notice it anymore so they stretched out just enough to fit nicely.  I ordered my regular size.  I bought these during the Amazon sale so they were priced reasonably.
