Finally I decided to get the Caleb boot.  I want to love them  because the reviews were so outstanding.  I have a pair of skinny jeans on with them and notice that there is a poking feeling where the bottom of the pant is squeezed in.  That is how snug these boots are.  However, they look fantastic, so I plan to walk around in them in my home for a few days before making a final decision.  For me, beauty is not worth it if the comfort is not 100%.  I am hoping they break in because they do fit all my needs:  look good, waterproof, room for warm sock, tuck in slim leg jeans.
