I've been on the lookout for a pair of over-the-knee boots for a while. Most have a stiletto heel or platform to them, so I was pleasantly surprised to find these with more of a riding style and low heel. I got them on a lightning deal and have prime for free shipping/returns, so I decided to try them despite the previous reviewer's issues with "weeping". I've had weeping issues on other boots, so I know how frustrating and ugly that can be.

I have wide feet, and typically try to order a "C" width, or buy cheap shoes from Payless which carries a lot of styles in 'wide width'. I was worried about these being too narrow, but hoping that they were a bit generous for a "B" width, as the previous reviewer said they were way too big for her narrow feet. I found them to be a bit big for a "B", but still snug over the widest part of my foot. They are nice leather, which has some give, and I'm hoping with more wear they will stretch. I wore them for a short time - to see a movie and then to grocery shop, so about four hours - to see if they would begin to hurt or chafe, weep, or get annoying since they are my first over-the-knee boot. I'm happy to report that I didn't have any issues with them. They have enough support that walking was comfortable and the heel was low enough that I didn't feel like they were too dressy in comparison to my skinny jeans and sweater.

I'm typically a size 6-8, and my calf is about 14.5" at the widest part (maybe a little over). I didn't have any issues getting these boots on or to stay up. They did take a gentle tug to get on, as I would expect, and I gave them another pull each time I stood from sitting (like getting out of the car or from watching a movie), but this was partly because I was paranoid and testing them to see if they had moved without the use of a mirror. They are form fitting, and my skinny jeans wanted to bunch a little so it took some effort to smooth them out before zipping up the boot. They would work best with leggings or tights, but with the effort were fine with my skinny jeans.

I think these boots do a nice job of being utilitarian, sexy, and fun without going too far and looking a bit Pretty-Woman-before-she-meets-the-billionaire, if you know what I mean. I'd give five stars if they came in a wider width.
