I just got these boots yesterday and they are georgous.  They seem extreamly well made and are comfortable from what I can tell.  They were adcertised as a wide calf boot but they are not wide enough for me.  I ordered a 8.5M and I needed at least 2 more inches to be able to zip them.  I have 18 inch calves an d they didn't even come close to fitting.  I know the description says 16 inch, but I had hoped the the larger the size the larger the calf and I was wrong.  So sad to have to send them back.
